Read these lines from the poem. They refer to the biblical story of Samson.


Upon the pillars of the temple laid

His desperate hands, and in its overthrow

Destroyed himself, and with him those who made

A cruel mockery of his sightless woe;

The poor, blind Slave, the scoff and jest of all,

Expired, and thousands perished in the fall!


In the Bible, God gives Samson immense physical strength. But Samson is tricked by evil people into losing his strength. The evil people capture Samson, blind him, and make him a slave. Samson asks God to give him strength once more so he can seek revenge on the evil people, and God does. Samson destroys their temple, killing many of them, and killing himself in the process. Longfellow compares the slaves in America to Samson.


How does this allusion affect the tone of the poem?



A. The poem sounds like a religious lecture or sermon, designed to inspire slaves to rise up against their masters.



B. The poem’s tone is stern, comparing slaves to the evil people who captured Samson.



C. The poem sounds like a caution that slavery does not only harm slaves, but may damage the entire country.



D. The poem’s tone is critical of slaves because they do not stand up for themselves the way Samson does.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A

Explanation:

slaves should stand up and fight for themselves and what is rightfully theirs meaning their rights

Answer 2

The poem seems like a religious lecture as well as a sermon, which is how the allusion makes slaves feel motivated to rebel against their owners. Thus, option A is appropriate.

An allusion is an instance of speech where an item or incident from a different context is subtly or indirectly referenced. It is typically referred to as a source when the author makes the relationship unambiguous.

A poem may allusively speak of someone, something, or another literary work. Allusions in poetry are typically inferred or indirect, and they are not always cited along with the work or actual event they allude to.

Thus, option A is correct.

Original question:

School Choice: Good Intentions, Extremely Harmful

Since the desegregation of schools in America, the question of school choice has been at the center of many heated debates. Some argue that charter schools or school choice programs put public schools at risk. Those people also argue that some neighborhood schools would suffer if kids had the freedom to commute to schools of their choice. Others argue that parents should control where their students learn, even though it means going to a school outside of their zoned area. However, school choice highlights the problem with the inequities in the school system. All schools should be built up to provide students with quality education, and school choice prevents that from happening.

The image that best conveys an eerie mood is B. "...groping among the tombs and invading the privacy of the dead,..."

What is an eerie mood?

An eerie mood creates a scary feeling in the reader.

Using setting techniques like sights, sounds, smells, thoughts, emotions, tastes, etc., the author aims to scare, overwhelm, or threaten the reader's calmness.

For example, how can one grope among the tombs by invading the privacy of the dead, perhaps, at night?

The eerie mood that the image above conveys shows that the narrator is engaged in something sinister, connoting evil intention.

Thus, the image that best conveys an eerie mood is Option B.

Choose one of the four scaffolding strategies between pages 121 and 127. Think about
how you would develop class routines to support students with their literacy skills using
one of these strategies. How would you go about fostering academic language and/or
helping ML students engage with the grade-level content? [Answer in 3-5 sentences for
full credit.]

Answers

Answer:

Let’s start by agreeing that scaffolding a lesson and differentiating instruction are two different things. Scaffolding is breaking up the learning into chunks and providing a tool, or structure, with each chunk. When scaffolding reading, for example, you might preview the text and discuss key vocabulary, or chunk the text and then read and discuss as you go. With differentiation, you might give a child an entirely different piece of text to read, or shorten the text or alter it, or modify the writing assignment that follows.

Simply put, scaffolding is what you do first with kids. For those students who are still struggling, you may need to differentiate by modifying an assignment or making accommodations like choosing a more accessible text or assigning an alternative project.

Scaffolding and differentiation do have something in common, though. In order to meet students where they are and appropriately scaffold a lesson or differentiate instruction, you have to know the individual and collective zone of proximal development (ZPD) of your learners. Education researcher Eileen Raymond says, “The ZPD is the distance between what children can do by themselves and the next learning that they can be helped to achieve with competent assistance.”

So let’s get to some scaffolding strategies you may or may not have tried yet. Or perhaps you’ve not used them in some time and need a gentle reminder on how awesome and helpful they can be when it comes to student learning.

1. SHOW AND TELL

How many of us say that we learn best by seeing something rather than hearing about it? Modeling for students is a cornerstone of scaffolding, in my experience. Have you ever interrupted someone with “Just show me!” while they were in the middle of explaining how to do something? Every chance you have, show or demonstrate to students exactly what they are expected to do.

With this sentence, Mandy states that she will be very unhappy without real food.

Why does Mandy miss real food so much?Mandy is in the future, in a region where technology is capable of creating food.These foods are nutritious, but not like real food.That's because these foods don't have an attractive taste, consistency, smell, or colors.Although these foods provide the necessary nutrients, they do not promote happiness to the one who is eating.

This makes Mandy feel bad, she feels sad when eating and thinks she can't maintain that kind of life, for that reason she decides to travel back in time, to a time with real food.
