Do Now Directions: Read the annotated prompt and review the essay plan below. Then, answer the questions that follow.

Prompt: Analyze how each “text” makes its claim about Amelia Earhart’s bravery. Source #1: Biograph of AE Source #2: AE’s Final Resting

Place… Source 3: Video

-P. 2: “Defying conventional feminine behavior, the young Earhart climbed trees, ‘belly-slammed’ her sled to start it downhill and hunted rats with a .22 rifle”” (anecdote) -P. 4: “"How would you like to be the first woman to fly the Atlantic?" he asked, to which Earhart promptly replied, "Yes!"” (anecdote) -P. 11: “There is no doubt, however, that the world will always remember Amelia Earhart for her courage, vision, and groundbreaking achievements, both in aviation and for women.” AC: Earhart was an inspirational figure who has had a wide-reaching impact, particularly in the field of women’s rights.

-P. 1: “record attempt to fly around the world at the equator” -P. 10: “Although she did not succeed in her around-the-world expedition, Earhart flew off into the legend just after her final radio transmission” (legacy) AC: A longstanding mystery about Earhart’s death has been likely resolved. Earhart’s story, which is full of intrigue and daring, is an inspiring one.

Uses impressive language to describe the courage it took to be a woman in a man’s field – “already setting records” -“16th woman,” -“biggest triumph,” (anecdote) -“pioneer for women’s issues. (fact) AC: Earhart was an inspirational figure who has had a wide-reaching impact, particularly in the field of women’s rights.

Thesis: While the article “Biography of Amelia Earhart” and the video use similar techniques to highlight Earhart’s courage, the blog post, “Earhart’s Final Resting Place Believed Found” describes her bravery in a different way. Body 1: The article “Biography of Amelia Earhart” and the video both use anecdotes and facts about Earhart’s childhood to reveal her courage.

• See highlighted evidence Body 2: The blog post “Earhart’s Final Resting Place Believed Found” focuses more on the investigation of Earhart’s death than her courage, but it does use her legacy to communicate her courage

• See highlighted evidence.

1. How does the student’s annotation of the prompt impact how they plan for the essay?

Today’s big idea:

As we know, good readers and writers preview their task before they begin. This enables us to

understand our destination so we can most effectively plan our route for getting there.

As you read the prompt, remember:

• Annotate the entire prompt! It is imperative that you know exactly what you’re being asked to

do, so that you can plan and write the most effective and successful response possible.

• Make sure you know how many parts the prompt has to ensure you answer the question in its

entirety.

• Paraphrase it! If you’re able to put the prompt in your own words in separate bullet points, you

can ensure that you effectively gather the right evidence to answer the question fully.

As you read the texts, remember:

• You annotate the prompt for a reason! The prompt becomes your annotation focus. This

should drive the type of evidence you gather as you read.

• Gathering the evidence for the prompt while you’re reading will save you time when you begin

to write!

Directions: Actively read the passages below, and answer the questions that follow.

Passage #1: A Nation’s Strength

by Ralph Waldo Emerson

What makes a nation’s pillars high (1)

And its foundations strong?

What makes it might to defy

The foes that round it throng?

It is not gold. Its kingdoms grand (5)

Go down in battle shock;

Its shafts are laid on sinking sand,

Not on abiding rock.

Is it the sword? Ask the red dust

Of empires passed away; (10)

The blood has turned their stones to rust.

Their glory to decay.

And is it pride? Ah, that bright crown

Has seemed to nations sweet;

But God has struck its luster down (15)

In ashes at his feet.

Not gold but only men can make

A people great and strong;

Men who for truth and honor’s sake

Stand fast and suffer long. (20)

Brave men who work while others sleep,

Who dare while others fly1…

They build a nation’s pillars deep

And lift them to the sky.

1 Fly – in this case, meaning to run away



4

1. PART A—Which statement best represents a central idea of “A Nation’s Strength?” (Theme) a. Powerful nations are those that are the wealthiest. b. The strength of a nation is dependent on the character of the people who comprise it. c. While violent wars may cost nations innocent lives, they are necessary in ensuring a

country’s security. d. Leaders of nations who are willing to compromise with other world leaders will

ultimately have the most powerful nation.

2. PART B—Which line from the text best supports the answer to Part A? (Theme) a. “What makes a nation’s pillars high and its foundations strong?” (Lines 1-2) b. “And is it pride?” (Line 13) c. “Not gold but only men can make a people great and strong…” (Lines 17-18) d. “Who dare while others fly” (Line 22)

3. How do the repeated questions contribute to the structure of the text? (Structure)

a. They show how much power a nation has at its disposal. b. They emphasize things we would assume make a nation, but in fact do not. c. They demonstrate the complicated nature of describing nations due to their many parts. d. They indicate that defining a nation is a task too difficult to do in one stanza.

Passage #2: I Hear America Singing by Walt Whitman

I hear America singing, the varied carols I hear, (1)

Those of mechanics, each one singing his as it should be, blithe

And strong,

The carpenter singing his as he measures his plank or beam,

The mason singing his as he makes ready for work, or leaves (5)

Off work,

The boatman singing what belongs to him in his boat, the

Deckhand singing on the steamboat deck,

The shoemaker singing as he sits on his bench, the hatter singing

As he stands, (10)

The wood-cutter’s song, the ploughboy’s, on his way in the

Morning, or at noon intermission or at sundown,

The delicious singing of the mother, or of the wife at

Work, or of the girl sewing or washing,

Each singing what belongs to her and to none else, (15)

The day what belongs to day—at night the party of young

Fellows, robust, friendly,

Singing with open mouths their strong melodious songs.



5

4. What does the word “varied” in line 1 of “I Hear America Singing” suggest? (VIC)

a. People are different in America and therefore have trouble relating to each other. b. The sounds of everyone singing together is discordant. c. Each individual’s song is different because they possess unique qualities. d. People understand the value of each other and therefore sing together.

5. Compare the structure of the two poems. How do these different structures affect the

style of each poem? (Structure) a. Emerson’s poem has a fixed stanza length, and it is light and carefree. Whitman’s poem

uses verse, adding a sense that it is serious. b. Emerson’s poem is an elegy, and it is complex and serious. Whitman’s poem is a lyric

poem, and it is imaginative. c. Emerson’s poem has unanswered questions, making it like a speech. Whitman’s poem

repeats ideas for emphasis, making it monotonous. d. Emerson’s poem has regular stanzas, making it formal and controlled. Whitman’s poem

is unstructured free verse, giving it less formality and a musical quality.

Essay Prompt: You have read the poems “A Nation’s Strength” and “I Hear America Singing.” Write an essay in which you identify a theme from each text and analyze how each theme is developed. Be sure to include specific details from both selections. Use your scratch paper for planning

Directions: Actively read the text below and answer the questions that follow.

“Brown Onions”

1- There’s a song called “Green Onions,” by a band from the sixties named Booker T & the MG’s. It’s a fun little number with an organ and a little guitar. People have been dancing to it for decades. It’s instrumental, with no words at all, but that didn’t stop Erika’s dad from singing along. He played the song every Friday night in the kitchen, singing words of his own invention as he danced in place. “Onions,” he’d sing. “I’m gonna cook some onions. Car-me-lized onions, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm onions.”

2 - Erika’s dad was not much of a songwriter. He wasn’t much of a singer, either, and his dancing left a lot to be desired. Watching him bounce back and forth in front of the stove, singing his weird little song, Erika thought she’d never seen someone who looked more like a dad. It was hard to watch, but it wasn’t embarrassment that kept Erika out of the kitchen on Friday nights. It was the onions.

3- Erika hated onions.

4- Green, yellow, white or red, she thought they were the most disgusting vegetable in the supermarket. If a burger came with onions on it, she fed it to her brother. If someone put onions on her hot dog, she threw it in the trash. If a piece of onion even touched something on her plate, she was finished—not just with what the onion touched, but the whole meal. Crinkly, crispy, and foully bitter, she simply couldn’t imagine a worse vegetable. And there was nothing worse than the smell, which made Erika think of a chemical plant explosion.

5- Erika’s father, on the other hand, lived for onions. He put them on everything—salads and sandwiches, toast and eggs. He liked them raw and he liked them fried; he liked them roasted to a crisp. But there was no way of cooking onions that made him happier than the one he sang about every week: caramelized.

6- Caramelizing means to cook something on very high heat, so that the natural sugars inside turn dark and very sweet. It literally means to turn something into caramel, even though foods that have been caramelized don’t taste the same way that caramel does.

7- “Caramelized onions taste smoky and rich and warm,” Erika’s dad would tell her. “They’re much more than just sweet. Cook them long enough and they turn almost to jelly. You can put them on anything…” he would trail off and get a glassy look in his eye, and Erika could tell he was thinking about onions.

8- Cook them long enough, and caramelized onions really do turn into jelly. As they break down under the heat, they turn dark brown and get very soft. They get sweeter and sweeter, but never lose that funky aftertaste that disgusted Erika and drove her dad wild. He liked to cook his for as long as possible, which was a problem for Erika, because turning onions into jelly takes as long as an hour. No matter how long he cooked them, no matter how soft they got, he always figured they could go a little bit longer. On Fridays he would caramelize a whole bag of onions, enough to last him the

whole week, and enough to make the whole house stink for days. It never failed to spoil Erika’s weekend.

9 - One Friday, she couldn’t stand it anymore. When the first notes of “Green Onions” sounded, and her dad pulled a sack of onions out of the pantry, Erika stood her ground.

10- “Dad—quit it!”

11- “You don’t like my song?”

12- “No! I hate your song. But not nearly as much as I hate your onions.”

13- “You hate caramelized onions?” he asked, genuinely perplexed. “But, why?”

14- Erika wanted to sum up why they made her so angry, why they turned her stomach, why they were ruining her life. She could have ranted for an hour, but she was too angry to talk. All she could say was, “Because they’re gross!”

15- “Have you ever tried them?”

16- “Well…no.”

17- “Then how do you know they’re gross?”

18- “Because they’re brown and gooey, and they smell like old socks.”

19 - “I’ll make you a deal. You try a cheeseburger with these onions on it, and if they’re as bad as you say they are, I’ll eat anything you want.”

20- “Anything? Like a jar of paint?”

21- “It has to be food.”

22 - “So I could make you eat a big pile of anchovies with ketchup and sauerkraut?”

23- “If you hate the onions.”

24- “Deal. Call me when they’re ready.”

25- “Ah ah,” said Dad, handing Erika a knife. “You’ve got to help me make them, too.”

26- “What?!”

27- “If you watch it happen, I think you won’t be so freaked out.”

28- “Fine. How do we start?”

29- Erika’s dad took her through the whole process, step by step. First, they sliced all the onions up, nice and thin. Then they put them into the biggest skillet they had, covered them, and turned the heat to medium-high.

30- “But, won’t they burn?” she asked.

31- “Eventually. But we’re not going to let that happen.”

32- They stirred the onions every few minutes, making sure they didn’t burn. When they started to stick to the pan and get kind of brown, her dad pulled out the olive oil.

33- “This is the cool part,” he said. “Tip a little of this into the pan, add some salt, stir them around, and watch how fast they change color.”

34- She tipped a little oil into the pan, added some salt, and stirred the onions around. Within seconds, the slightly brown onions had turned the color of mud.

35- “Whoa! Are they done?”

36- “Not hardly.”

37- For the next half hour, they kept stirring every few minutes, and the onions got darker and darker. When they were almost the consistency of glue, Dad turned off the heat. He piled two cheeseburgers with onions and pushed one across to his daughter. She screwed her eyes shut and took a big bite. As she chewed, her face twisted into a grimace. Dad was shocked—she really hated them!

38- “Oh no,” he said. “You look disgusted.”

39- “I am. I don’t like what I’m about to say.”

40- “What?”

41- “Can I have some more onions?”

Do Now – Pacing

Directions: To begin our work today, please look at the scenario and images below and then respond to the question

that follows.

Scenario: It is the first day of NJSLA and you are really nervous. As you are working and using the strategies you

learned in ELA and SGI, you hear an announcement that there are 10 minutes remaining and you still have an entire text

left to read.

Sample A Sample B

1. Which sample of student scratch paper below would most likely lead to this type of panic? Explain why.

As we know, NJSLA is looming towards us. We have prepared all year to do well on this exam, but

there are a few more tips we can take to ensure we don’t panic on test day and instead use our time

wisely.

Tips for Smart Pacing

• Use only the ONE sheet of loose leaf paper that is given to you each day (Do NOT ask for

additional scrap paper – that means you are spending too much time on your notes!)

o Use the front to plan your essay and use the back to write any additional marginal

notes

• Only write 4 – 5 marginal notes for each text

• All marginal notes should be concise – use symbols or write short phrases/abbreviations.

• Jot down the evidence for your essay (in shorthand) as you go; highlighting is great, but it

won’t always “carry over” into the essay question

o Example: 5 –“She loaded her heart…”

CFU: What are some ways you can save time to ensure you still use your strategies but finish the

whole test?

Directions: Today, you will read two texts about relationships with family members. As you read

both poems, determine how the speaker’s point of view reveals a message about family

relationships.

Online bullies once made Douglas cry, so now the Olympian is fighting back Marissa Payne, Washington Post

(1) When Gabby Douglas logged onto the Internet after winning her second consecutive gold medal in the all-around team finals this summer, she was hoping to see articles and tweets talking about her objectively stunning performance on the uneven bars.

(2) She stuck a double layout landing and earned the third-highest score of the event with 15.766 points. Instead, the 20-year-old found a steady stream of hate from online bullies questioning her patriotism after she stood at attention, but didn't place her hand over her heart when the national anthem played during the medal ceremony.

(3) "I was like, 'What? This can't be a thing,'" Douglas recalled in a phone interview Wednesday.

(4) Things got even worse for Douglas later in the Games when online bullies decried her for what they saw as a lack of support for her teammates Aly Raisman and Simone Biles, who were competing in the individual all-around competition.

(5) Douglas, who narrowly missed out on a spot to compete in the event, attended the event in the stands, but some found her expressions too sour for the occasion.

(6) The trolls worked fast, labeling her #CrabbyGabby on Twitter and declaring she was either too arrogant or too jealous to properly support her teammates. It was enough to draw tears from the 20-year-old, who later apologized for how those people interpreted her behavior.

(7) "I support [my teammates]," she told reporters in August, "and I'm sorry that I wasn't showing it."

(8)Douglas is done apologizing now, however. As the three-time Olympic gold medalist heads into 2017, she's dried her tears and holding her head up high, declaring that she's "overcome it."

(9) Online harassment "could be about anybody," she said.

(10 )This is one reason she recently teamed up with Hack Harassment, a group that seeks to reduce online bullying. Douglas will be touring high schools and college campuses for the organization next year.

(11) To this day, the two-time Olympian maintains she has "no idea" why she became such a lightning rod for criticism. In 2012, when Douglas was just 16, online bullies got on her about her hair, which they thought looked unkempt.

(12) Douglas doesn't chalk up the criticism to her gender or her race, however. Instead she simply blames "the mean few that feel like they need to comment on everything."

(13) According to the Pew Research Center, approximately 70 percent of people aged 18 to 24 have been bullied online. While Douglas bore the brunt during this year's Olympics, some of her Final Five teammates, including Biles, 19, Raisman, 22, and Madison Kocian, 19, also found themselves on the receiving end of online hate when they posted a picture to Instagram of themselves in bikinis on a Rio beach after the Games.



2

(14) It wasn't their expressions, hair or patriotism that some took issue with, but their muscular physiques.

(15) "Everybody's on social media in my generation and everybody's using it," Douglas said. "I think that's why a lot of teens, more than adults, are dealing with these problems."

(16) Douglas, who said she stayed offline before the Olympics to concentrate on her training, said she wasn't ready to deal with the onslaught of criticism she received when she finally logged back on.

(17) "I Googled myself after the team event, after we won the gold," she said about how she found out she'd become a target of online bullies once again. "I probably shouldn't have done that."

(18) She said when she first saw what people were saying, she thought it "was gonna blow away" quickly. It's when it didn't, however, that it really began to affect her.

(19) "When they talk about my hair or me not putting my hand up on my heart or me being very salty in the stands, they're really criticizing me, and it doesn't really feel good," Douglas tearfully told reporters in Rio in August. "It was a little bit hurtful."

(20) Douglas can still recall the hurt she felt, although it no longer elicits tears.

(21) "We already feel a lot of pressure being out on the competition floor . . . and when someone has to deal with that, you know, it's a lot," she said. "It was a lot for me."

(22) She continued: "I thought people were taking such small things and making them a bigger deal than they were and I had accomplished something so great. You know, going back to the Olympics, winning another team medal, qualifying for the bar finals. I was like, wait, why can't they focus on the good instead of the negative?"

(23) Douglas doesn't claim to know the answers, but she knows it's not because of anything she did or didn't do, and she's hoping to instill that sense of self-worth into young people she plans to meet while touring schools for Hack Harassment.

(24) "I feel like when you really stand up for yourself and you really tell people, 'Hey, you know, that's not right,' . . . they back off," she said. "You gotta face the situation without fear."
