The Crazy PLencil
by J. Robbins


My pencil broke—I needed one
to take my spelling test.
I looked into my desk
and found one different from the rest.
This pencil was not yellow,
but a special shade of red.
I read the word upon the side:
"PLencil" is what it said.
I got a piece of paper out
to write a spelling word;
Instead of writing what I meant,
I wrote something absurd!
I tried to write down "scientist,"
but it came out "skyientist";
And on and on the pLencil wrote
a crazy spelling list.
I know you won't believe me,
but a rotten joke's been played,
and, Teacher, you just ought to give
the pLencil this bad grade.

Was wasted far and wide,
And many a childing mother then,
And new-born baby died;
But things like that, you know, must be
At every famous victory.

After the field was won;
For many thousand bodies here
Lay rotting in the sun;
But things like that, you know, must be
After a famous victory."

Shedding Light on a Dark Day, by Robin Meriwether

On May 19, 1780, the skies over New England turned dark in the middle of the day. For more than two hundred years, New England's Dark Day had been shrouded in mystery. Some blamed volcanoes. Some suggested supernatural events. Some claimed it was a sign from the heavens. No one knew for certain what happened. Many thought the mystery would never be solved.

Researchers at the University of Missouri were fascinated by the case. They began examining trees in all surrounding areas. Fire damage in a Canadian forest finally revealed the truth. Scientists looked at burned tree rings and discovered that huge wildfires once raged in the mountains near Ontario. The savage flames created blankets of black smoke. The smoke traveled high into the atmosphere, darkening the New England skies hundreds of miles away.

What is the central idea of this article?

A No one knew why there was a really dark day in New England.

B On May 19, 1780, the skies over New England turned dark in the middle of the day. For more than two hundred years, New England's Dark Day had been shrouded in mystery. Researchers at the University of Missouri were fascinated by the case.

C The mystery lasted for over two hundred years.

D For over two hundred years, the reason for New England's Dark Day was unknown. Finally, researchers from the University of Missouri discovered that wildfire smoke from Canada rose up to the atmosphere, traveled hundreds of miles, and blotted out the sunlight over New England.

Sample Response: Amy Tan uses details to show that her family's meal was embarrassing. Her description of her father burping uses imagery because the reader can imagine hearing her father's burp. The guests are astonished, which means they are shocked, because this custom is different. Robert's red face is another description that helps the reader picture him being embarrassed as well. The minister's burp is quiet, and he seems embarrassed by the custom too. Amy says this moment made her silent for the rest of the night, which shows that she is embarrassed.

Which details did you include in your response? You can select more than one answer.

the detail of Amy’s father belching
language that appeals to hearing or sight
the guests’ astonishment
Robert’s red face
the minister’s quiet belch
the detail of Amy’s being stunned into silence

Ring–tailed lemurs are unique because of their appearance and their social activity. First, ring–tailed lemurs are just one of over 100 different species of lemur, but they are easily recognizable because of their long, black and white ringed tails and shocking stare. They are small, weighing only 5 to 8 pounds, but their large eyes and intense stare contribute to their name, which means "ghost" in Latin.

They congregate in groups called troops of about 17 animals. Each troop is presided over by a dominant, large female ring–tailed lemur. Also, ring–tailed lemurs have glands in their wrists that can release a strong odor into the air to repel predators and also to fight with one another. The male ring–tails will "stink fight" with one another by releasing their odors until one slinks away.

Draft:
Robert Frost, an American poet who lived from 1874–1963, is most well known for his depictions of everyday people doing normal things and facing life–changing decisions. Frost, who lived most of his life in rural settings, wrote many poems about nature and about the American landscape.
While he was first published in a weekly literary magazine in 1894, Frost's career had a slow start because many American publishers turned him down early in his career. His luck changed, though, after he lived in England for several years starting in 1912. When he was there, many publishers embraced his work and, because of that, he was popular when he returned to the U.S. when World War I broke out. Publishers that had previously turned him down welcomed him back and his career hit its stride.
Frost's career earned him many awards and honors throughout his lifetime.

Student notes from an encyclopedia article on Robert Frost

Frost's first published poem was titled "My Butterfly: An Elegy" and his most famous poem was "The Road Not Taken," published in 1920.
