Mother to SonBY LANGSTON HUGHES

Well, son, I’ll tell you:Life for me ain’t been no crystal stair.1

It’s had tacks in it,And splinters,

And boards torn up,And places with no carpet on the floor—

Bare.But all the time

I’se been a-climbin’ on,And reachin’ landin’s,And turnin’ corners,

And sometimes goin’ in the darkWhere there ain’t been no light2.

So boy, don’t you turn back.Don’t you set down on the steps’Cause you finds it’s kinder hard.

Don’t you fall now—For I’se still goin’, honey,

I’se still climbin’,And life for me ain’t been no crystal stair.

“Mother to Son” Text-

Dependent Questions1 La vida no fue fácil para mí2 He estado escalando, y llegar a los aterrizajes, y dando la vuelta a las esquinas, y a veces ir en la oscuridad donde no hay luz

Assignment 3Name:_____________________________________ Grade 7 ELA Assignment for May 11 – May 22Read the poem “Can’t” and answer the questions below.

Can’t by Edgar Guest

Can’t is the worst word that’s written or spoken;1

Doing more harm here than slander and lies;On it is many a strong spirit broken,And with it many a good purpose dies.It springs from the lips of the thoughtless each morning

5And robs us of courage we need through the day:It rings in our ears like a timely-sent warningAnd laughs when we falter and fall by the way3.

Can’t is the father of feeble endeavor, 9The parent of terror and half-hearted work;It weakens the efforts of artisans clever,And makes of the toiler an indolent shirk.It poisons the soul of the man with a vision, 13It stifles in infancy many a plan;It greets honest toiling with open derisionAnd mocks at the hopes and the dreams of a man.

Can’t is a word none should speak without blushing;

“Can’t” - vocabulary

slander – n. (or v.) false and damaging statements about someone/declaraciones falsas y dañinas sobre alguien

falter – v. to lose strength or momentum, to hesitate, to waver/ para perder fuerza o impulso, para dudar, para vacilar

utter – v. to say/ decir blight – v. (or n.) to ruin, to wreck/ a la ruina, a destrozar

3 Suena en nuestros oídos como una advertencia de envío oportuno Y se ríe cuando flaqueamos y caemos por el camino

Assignment 3Name:_____________________________________ Grade 7 ELA Assignment for May 11 – May 2217To utter it should be a symbol of shame;Ambition and courage it daily is crushing;It blights a man’s purpose and shortens his aim.Despise it with all of your hatred of error; 21Refuse it the lodgment it seeks in your brain;Arm against it as a creature of terror,And all that you dream of you some day shall gain.

Can’t is the word that is foe to ambition, 25An enemy ambushed to shatter your will4;Its prey is forever the man with a missionAnd bows but to courage and patience and skill.Hate it, with hatred that’s deep and undying, 29For once it is welcomed ’twill break any man;Whatever the goal you are seeking, keep tryingAnd answer this demon by saying: “I can.”

foe – n. enemy/enemigoambush – v. (or n.) to make a surprise attack on/ para hacer un ataque sorpresa en prey – n. (or v.) an animal that is hunted and killed for food/ un animal que es cazado y asesinado por comida

Directions: Read the informational text, “A Dream come True.” NOTE: All three articles are on the

same topic. Choose the ONE that is closest to your Lexile level. (You only need to read ONE article, not

three.)

Lexile 840L – "A dream come true": Actress who uses wheelchair wins Tony Award By Washington Post, adapted by Newsela staff on 06.14.19

Ali Stroker accepts the award for best performance by an actress in a featured role in a musical for "Rodgers & Hammerstein's Oklahoma!" at the 73rd annual Tony Awards at Radio City Music Hall in New York City on June 9, 2019. Photo by: Charles Sykes/Invision/AP

It was "a dream come true" to be nominated for a Tony Award, Ali Stroker said on the evening of June 9. A few hours later, she won. She made history as the first actor who uses a wheelchair to receive a Tony Award.

The awards are given for Broadway theater shows in New York City.

Assignment 5Name:_____________________________________ Grade 7 ELA Assignment for May 11 – May 22Stroker Dedicated Her Award To Kids With DisabilitiesThe audience for the awards ceremony at New York's Radio City Music Hall gave Stroker a standing cheer when her name was announced. She won as best supporting actress in a musical. She had a role in the revival of the Rodgers and Hammerstein show "Oklahoma!" Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II were songwriters. Their work became famous in Broadway shows and movies. Stroker then came out onto the stage. Her voice was full of emotion. She dedicated the award to "every kid who is watching tonight who has a disability, who has a limitation or a challenge, who has been waiting to see themselves represented in this arena."

"You are," she declared.

Performing Makes Stroker Feel FreeThe New Jersey native was paralyzed5 in a car crash when she was 2 years old. She is 31 years old now. Stroker began performing in musical theater when she was 7 years old. She played the title role in her friend's backyard show of the musical "Annie."

"When I began to sing, I just felt so free. There was like no limitation," she said. "I was used to people staring at me, being a little girl in a wheelchair. But being onstage and the way people were looking at me, it was so different. And I knew that was what I wanted to do with the rest of my life."

Stroker acted and sang throughout her childhood. She attended New York University's TischSchool of the Arts. Later, she had roles in television's "Glee" and theater shows such as "Promises, Promises."

In 2015, she performed in "Spring Awakening." That made her the first person in a wheelchair to appear on Broadway.

Stroker's role as Ado Annie in the revival of "Oklahoma!" earned her the history-making Tony award. On June 9, her words rang out beyond Radio City Music Hall. A mother in Kentucky shared a video on social media site Twitter of her child who is 6 years old and uses a wheelchair. The child was watching Stroker's speech and saying, "That's me!"

More Accessibility For Performers With DisabilitiesIn her speech, Stroker thanked her friends. She described them as "best friends who have held my hands and pulled me around New York City for years, helping me." She also thanked her parents "for teaching me to use my gifts to help people."

After her win, the actress appeared in front of journalists backstage. They asked her how to make Broadway and theater more accessible. Her reply involved ways to get around theaters.

"The theaters for the house, where all the audience comes in, that is all made accessible," Stroker said. However, the backstages are not.6 "So I would ask theater owners and producers to really look into how they can begin to make the backstage accessible, so performers with disabilities can get around."

Directions: Read and circle the correct answer for the following multiple choice questions about “A Dream Come True.”

5 paralizada6 La casa, donde todo el público entra y disfruta, se hace accesible, pero los backstages no son
