After reading the excerpt, Ricardo made a text-to-text
connection. Which example is a text-to-text
connection?
Ricardo read this excerpt from A Black Hole Is NOT a
Hole by Carolyn Cinami DeCristofano.
Discoveries of black holes exploded in the late 1900s
and early 2000s. What scientists found reads like a
cast of characters for a mixed-up fairy tale. First they
discovered the small ("Baby Bear") black holes, then
the giant "Papas." But where were the medium "Mama
Bear" black holes? It just didn't make sense that there
would be smalls and larges but no mediums.
Astronomers began the search, and found them.
There's just one size that still hasn't been found, even
though it has been predicted. The tiniest of all, the
"Tom Thumbs" of the black-hole world, have yet to be
discovered if they even exist.
Ricardo had read a children's story with a character
named "Tom Thumb," so he understood the author's
description of the tiniest" black holes.
Ricardo had watched a video about big discoveries
in space, so he had some background information
on the subject of the excerpt.
While reading the excerpt, Ricardo remembered
playing a game when he was a child that had a
"Papa Bear," "Mama Bear," and "Baby Bear."
While reading the excerpt, Ricardo remembered
hearing about black holes in school, and it made him

Read this excerpt of a speech that Javier is writing about the topic of a longer school day.

I don’t think we should have a longer school day. Children already spend 7 hours in school. _____ If parents and teachers want students to do better in school, they should make smaller classes and pay teachers more money instead of extending the school day.

Which best addresses the counterclaim that “students should have a longer school day” and belongs in the blank space in Javier’s speech?

The school day now lasts from early in the morning to late in the afternoon, which is long enough for children to have to sit in school.
With a longer school day, students would not get a chance for free play, which studies prove helps students develop the creative thinking skills they need.
I’ve heard that some countries have longer school days and not as much homework, which seems to suit those students well.

A revolution in the textile industry

Answers

TEXTILE MANUFACTURING IN THE

INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION

One of the main industries that benefitted from the Industrial Revolution was the textile industry. The textile industry was based on the development of cloth and clothing. Before the start of the Industrial Revolution, which began in the 1700s, the production of goods was done on a very small scale. Historians refer to this method of production as the ‘cottage industry’. Simply put, the cottage industry refers to a period of time in which goods for sale were produced on a very small scale, usually in a home. In this system, people produced goods, such as wool, in their homes or on their own farms and then sold it to local communities since long distance transportation was uncommon. This method of production was slow and inefficient and struggled to keep pace with the growing demand caused by the increased population. In contrast, industrialization allowed goods to be produced in a central location and on a mass scale. It also led to the creation of inventions that helped speed up the production method of many goods, but most noticeably in the textile industry.

Memos and Emails
Email

Ok so here's the thing: 90% of the emails I get from students look like texts. When I was a grant writer, if I sent an email like that, I would have been in my boss's office so fast. SO let's learn proper etiquette for sending emails.

1) Start with a salutation. Hello, Hi, Dear _____, Hi _______, Greetings! any of these work. Make sure your initial email has these. If you don't know the person personally, use Mr., Mrs., Ms., or the new Mx. and their last name.

2) Body: The body has to be right to the point and formal. Most work emails are all business. You can say something like "I hope your Monday is going well!" but beyond that, get to the point.

3) End it well. Best is a good way to go if you don't know the person. Sincerely is good too. It's all personal preference. Just make sure you end it. Also, ALWAYS include your last name. I get so many emails that say "Jackie" or whatever short name people go with, and I have 5 classes. Let's do some math here.

Your job is to create an email that you, as the CEO, are sending to one or more of your staff. One is preferable. Set up an issue you wish to address with that person (I really don't care what it is). Make it at least 100 words.



Memo

An intra-office memo is very important for giving widespread information to your employees. For this piece, you will create a big problem that your employees created, and then send them a memo explaining how you fixed it and how to prevent it from happening again. Use your imagination.

Second, it is incredibly narrow-minded to assume that the only service libraries offer is book lending.
Libraries have a multitude of benefits, and many are only available if the library has a physical location.
Some of these benefits include acting as a quiet study space, giving people a way to converse with their neighbors, holding classes on a variety of topics, providing jobs, answering patron questions, and
keeping the community connected. One neighborhood found that, after a local library instituted
community events such as play times for toddlers and parents, job fairs for teenagers, and meeting
spaces for senior citizens, over a third of residents reported feeling more connected to their community. Similarly, a Pew survey conducted in 2015 found that nearly two-thirds of American adults feel that closing their local library would have a major impact on their community. People see libraries as a way to connect with others and get their questions answered, benefits tablets can’t offer nearly as well or as easily.
