Read the excerpt from Through the Looking Glass, by Lewis Carroll.

"Here are the Red King and the Red Queen,” Alice said (in a whisper, for fear of frightening them), "and there are the White King and the White Queen sitting on the edge of the shovel—and here are two castles walking arm in arm—I don't think they can hear me,” she went on, as she put her head closer down, "and I'm nearly sure they can't see me. I feel somehow as if I were invisible—”

Here something began squeaking on the table behind Alice, and made her turn her head just in time to see one of the White Pawns roll over and begin kicking: she watched it with great curiosity to see what would happen next.

"It is the voice of my child!” the White Queen cried out as she rushed past the King, so violently that she knocked him over among the cinders. "My precious Lily! My imperial kitten!” and she began scrambling wildly up the side of the fender.

Shakespeare often writes in:

pentameter
octameter
tetrameter
hexameter

An introductory paragraph should always include three things:

a TAG, a summary, and a claim--in that exact order!

Today, let’s focus on the TAG.


When writing a response to literature, a good way to begin your introductory paragraph is with a TAG (title, author, genre). Adding adjectives to your TAG can also make it more interesting.

For example, E.B. White is the author of the heart-warming, fictional story, Charlotte’s Web.



In your Writer's Notebook, use the following titles, authors, and genres, create TAGs that could be used at the beginning of a response to literature.


L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables, novel

Henry, “Two Thanksgiving Day Gentlemen,” short story with a twist
Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, literary fiction

Read the article and answer the question:

Jonas Salk (1914-1995). For the first half of the 20th century, poliomyelitis, also known as infantile paralysis, was one of the most dreaded diseases to attack young people. By 1955 American physician and researcher Jonas Salk had developed a vaccine that almost eradicated the disease in the United States and other developed countries.

Jonas Edward Salk was born in New York City on October 28, 1914. He graduated from the City College of New York in 1934 and earned his doctorate in medicine from New York University's College of Medicine in 1939. While in medical school he had worked with Thomas Francis Jr. on killed-virus immunology studies. In 1942 he joined a group at the University of Michigan working on a vaccine against influenza. The vaccine was perfected in 1953.
In 1947 Salk became associate professor of bacteriology and head of the Virus Research Laboratory at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. There he began working on the polio vaccine. Three viruses caused polio, and a vaccine had to be effective against all of them. By 1952 Salk had developed such a vaccine and conducted field tests on children. His findings were published in 1953, and a mass field test was done the next year.
On April 12, 1955, the vaccine was released for use in the United States. In 1957 Salk was named professor of experimental medicine at Pittsburgh, and in 1963 he went to San Diego as head of the Institute (later named the Salk Institute) for Biological Studies. In 1977 Salk was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. He died on June 23, 1995, in La Jolla, California.

Answer the following question based on the Compton's Encyclopedia reading:

Which of the following is MOST LIKELY the main reason young Graham is excited when John and his mother get married?

Read the excerpts from Team Moon and the NASA article.

And only now—a solid, panic-stricken, gut-wrenching, heart-palpitating ten minutes by clock but feeling like an eternity later—did it sink in for John Coursen, Tom Kelly, and a lot of the other Grumman folks who had poured years of their lives into building the lunar module: Their baby was on the moon. Let the cheering begin!


When the lunar module lands at 4:18 p.m. EDT, only 30 seconds of fuel remain. Armstrong radios "Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed." Mission control erupts in celebration as the tension breaks, and a controller tells the crew "You got a bunch of guys about to turn blue, we're breathing again."

How are the perspectives presented in the excerpts similar?

They show the disappointment and fear mission control workers feel when the lunar module develops problems.
They show the huge investment of time and energy mission control workers dedicated to the lunar module.
They show how mission control workers view the lunar module as if it is the workers’ very own child.
They show the relief and excitement mission control workers feel when the lunar module lands on the moon.

Based on the following excerpt from O. Henry’s “The Gift of the Magi,” which statement about Della is most likely true?

One dollar and eighty-seven cents. That was all. And sixty cents of it was in pennies.

Three times Della counted it. One dollar and eighty-seven cents. And the next day would be Christmas.

There was clearly nothing to do but flop down on the shabby little couch and howl. So Della did it.

A. Della is upset because her house is in shabby condition for Christmas.
B. Della is angry at herself for lying to the butcher to save some extra money.
C. Della is ashamed because she cheated the local vegetable man out of money.
D. Della is sad because she doesn’t have enough money to buy Christmas presents.
