In what ways does Anne's outlook relate to her current situation? Which emotions are shared by many teenagers?
This question is incomplete. Here's the complete question.
"The war is going to go on despite our quarrels and our longing for freedom
and fresh air, so we should try to make the best of our stay here.
I’m preaching, but I also believe that if I live here much longer, I’ll turn into a dried-up old beanstalk. And all I really want is to be an honest-to-goodness teenager!"
Excerpt from "The Diary of A Young Girl"
In what ways does Anne's outlook relate to her current situation? Which emotions are shared by many teenagers?
Answer:
Her frustration with the quarrels and longing for freedom relates to that situation, being unable to leave a place where the tension must have been unbearable. She remains hopeful, trying "to make the best" out of the situation, but she also longs for a normal life as a teenager. Ironically, most teenagers go through a stage of rebellion that has them feeling like they are trapped by their families and their environment, longing for a better future even under comparatively safe conditions.
Explanation:
Also known as "The Diary of Anne Frank" (1947), Anne´s account was written while she and her family were hiding during the Nazi occupation, so her life was secluded and crowded by too many people in a cramped hiding place.

Industries come and go, but our history is forever and stands as the

Although religion does not inharit acquisition of wealth , although it does not hold up large fortunes
Hello. This question is incomplete. the complete question is:
Although religion does not inhibit the accusation of wealth, although it does not hold up large fortunes as evil, the tenor of its teaching, by and large, is to induce an attitude of indifference to worldly things, things which gratify one's lower self and keep one engrossed in money-making. The student should be made to realize that the real goods of life are spiritual, love of things of the spirit and service of one's fellowmen, joy of an ordered disciplined life. These are blessings money cannot buy. What is wealth before such things of the spirit? Of all religious teachers Jesus Christ has dealt more comprehensively than any other with the problem of wealth in all its aspects. He may be called the greatest exponent of the science of the wealth. With only four words "Blessed are ye poor!" he changed altogether the values which man attached to human existence and human happiness and acquisition and possession of wealth. Real bliss consisted, he taught, not in riches nor in anything else which the world regarded as prosperity or felicity, but in the joy and happiness derived from being at peace with one's fellowmen through perfect love and fellowship and selfless service and sacrifice.
What, according to the author, is the meaning of "indifference"? "Is it applicable to all religions?
Answer and Explanation:
According to the text, we can say that the author shows that the term "indifference" is related to a lack of attachment and affection to wealth and material goods. Most religions preach this indifference, showing that the faithful should be attached only to spiritual goods, that is, they should not care about rich materials, but about a spirit rich in goodness and benevolence.
Although the author stated that religions preach this indifference, there are religions that are based on the term called "prosperity theology" that encourage the faithful to seek material wealth, but do not make it more important than spiritual wealth.

Timed Writing: Rhetorical Analysis
Read the prompt carefully. Craft a strong thesis that fully responds to the prompt. Write full body paragraphs (6-10 sentences) that contain direct quotes and commentary that develops and expands your argument about the rhetorical choices and message of the author.
The following passage is excerpted from the 1990 newspaper article “America Needs Its Nerds” by Leonid Fridman. At the time of the article’s publication, Fridman was a graduate student at Harvard University and a member of Harvard’s Society of Nerds and Geeks. Read the passage carefully. Write an essay that analyzes the rhetorical choices Fridman makes to develop his argument.
In your response you should do the following:
Respond to the prompt with a thesis that analyzes the writer’s rhetorical choices.
Select and use evidence to support your line of reasoning.
Explain how the evidence supports your line of reasoning.
Demonstrate an understanding of the rhetorical situation.
Use appropriate grammar and punctuation in communicating your argument.
There is something very wrong with the system of values in a society that has only derogatory terms like nerd and geek for the intellectually curious and academically serious.
A geek, according to Webster’s New World Dictionary, is a street performer who shocks the public by biting off heads of live chickens. It is a telling fact about our language and our culture that someone dedicated to pursuit of knowledge is compared to a freak biting the head off a live chicken.
Even at a prestigious academic institution like Harvard, anti-intellectualism is rampant: Many students are ashamed to admit, even to their friends, how much they study. Although most students try to keep up their grades, there is a minority of undergraduates for whom pursuing knowledge is the top priority during their years at Harvard. Nerds are ostracized while athletes are idolized.
The same thing happens in U.S. elementary and high schools. Children who prefer to read books rather than play football, prefer to build model airplanes rather than get wasted at parties with their classmates, become social outcasts. Ostracized for their intelligence and refusal to conform to society’s anti-intellectual values, many are deprived of a chance to learn adequate social skills and acquire good communication tools.
Enough is enough.
Nerds and geeks must stop being ashamed of who they are. It is high time to face the persecutors who haunt the bright kid with thick glasses from kindergarten to the grave. For America’s sake, the anti-intellectual values that pervade our society must be fought.
There are very few countries in the world where anti-intellectualism runs as high in popular culture as it does in the U.S. In most industrialized nations, not least of all our economic rivals in East Asia, a kid who studies hard is lauded and held up as an example to other students.
In many parts of the world, university professorships are the most prestigious and materially rewarding positions. But not in America, where average professional ballplayers are much more respected and better paid than faculty members of the best universities.
How can a country where typical parents are ashamed of their daughter studying mathematics instead of going dancing, or of their son reading Weber* while his friends play baseball, be expected to compete in the technology race with Japan or remain a leading political and cultural force in Europe? How long can America remain a world-class power if we constantly emphasize social skills and physical prowess over academic achievement and intellectual ability?
Answer:
Explanation:
In the passage from “America Needs Its Nerds” by Leonid Fridman, he is informing the public about America’s lack of support for the highly intelligent and those who seek knowledge instead of having it forced upon them. This is causing America to fall behind other countries academically. Fridman develops this argument through his creation of parallel sentence structure and the language within them, and comparing the people within society.
Fridman’s main purpose is to emphasize how tragic it is that most people do not wish to be educated in America. Throughout the passage Fridman uses small segments of colloquial language that have a powerful impact. He mainly uses the colloquial language to describe the majority of people who do not seek knowledge and value education. In the second paragraph Fridman wrote, “a freak biting the head off a live chicken” (10). That was referencing how Americans have changed the meaning of the word “geek” to make fun of someone who is intelligent. This could also represent the irony through which the uneducated American may not know what certain words mean, therefore making up their own definitions and create offensive slang terms from those words. When Fridman is giving the true definition of the word “geek” he uses the word “freak” to define it. The word “freak” stands out and will stick with the reader and by making the comparison between those who are smart to freaks it represents how they are perceived. They seem as though they are outcasts. He wants to make it clear that it should not be this way. Those who are smart are not outcasts and should not be treated as such; instead they should be valued and respected.
The seventh through ninth paragraphs have many comparisons that not only force the reader to think but also enhance Fridman’s argument that American society is slipping from an intellectual standpoint. He compares the US to East Asia (35-40) and baseball players to college professors (41-46). This highlights his idea that as a society it is vital to change our views and morals. America is supposed to be the best of the best, but it will not stay that way if its people do not value education like its competitors. Americans look up to baseball players as idols instead of college professors. Fridman is pushing for a change and ending the passage with the comparisons is important because the reader begins to make their own connections within their own mind and examples, therefore believing Fridman is correct in his reasoning.
The first, third, and fifth paragraphs are three examples of parallel sentence structure which compare the minority of those valuing education and the majority of those who do not. The first paragraph has the phrase, “intellectually curious and academically serious” (4). It is important to note the parallelism is at the end of the paragraph verses the beginning. Having the parallelism at the end adds greater emphasis to the phrase as the reader transitions into the next paragraph. It is the final idea the reader reads as they conclude that paragraph. The parallelism adds a smooth transition into the next idea and paragraph. In the third paragraph there is a comparison of nerds and athletes, it says “nerds are ostracized while athletes are idolized” (17-18). Again, this sentence comes at the end of the paragraph which emphasizes Fridman’s point that those with intellectual ability are ignored while those with athletic ability are praised. The emphasis demonstrates how prominent this issue is in American society. At the end of the fifth paragraph there is an example of a parallel sentence that offers a problem and solution. It states, “Enough is enough” (28). It is brief and to the point which is Fridman’s purpose in writing it. He is stressing the importance that society needs to stop shaming its wise minority. This furthers his argument that a change is necessary.
Throughout the passage, Fridman uses colloquial language within parallelism and comparisons to persuade his audience that “nerds” are essential to society and that more people should strive towards being one or else America will no longer be a great academic nation.

what ways do you think unequal resources can be addressed so that all students have safe and effective access to learning?
Answer: Build relationships
Relationships and the importance of them in the classroom never goes away. As the education pendulum flies back and forth, one thing that you can always count on still being at the forefront of making a difference in the classroom is the idea of relationships. If you don’t have a relationship with your students the work you do on a daily basis will be flat and not nearly as effective as what it could be. Take the time to build connections with each and every one of your students. What makes them tick? What are their interests? What are their hopes and desires? These are all things that you continue to build and cultivate as the year progresses—community and relationship building does not just stop after the first two weeks. Regardless of class size or other circumstances that have an impact on the classroom, this is number one for a reason!
Be intentional with your lesson planning
As you sit down and plan out the upcoming week, really give some thought to how you are going to reach all your students. What are the various entry points students are going to need to access the curriculum and reach your lesson target? Or perhaps, how can you help engage students at the start so they are ready to learn? Would a morning meeting or quick team building activity in table groups help get the kids primed for learning? Have a warm-up to settle and set a tone. Review the learning targets for the lesson to inform the students and tune them in.
Use a balanced data approach
Using data to drive your instruction and decisions is vital. However, it needs to be done in a balanced approach to where you are taking into consideration your students and the direct knowledge you have about them. As educators, we are lucky that we know more about our students than what can be represented on a test. Use this information to help drive your instruction and decisions. How can you leverage this knowledge to help improve outcomes for kids? Are there additional ways that you can help support your students? Apply formative practices that not only will inform you of the “Are they getting it?” factor, but also use them to inform your students about their own progress.
Have high and consistent expectations
Most of us believe we have high expectations for kids, which is good. However, don’t let your high expectations limit your students with what they can accomplish. Your students will reach and often surpass your high expectations and when they do, don’t hold them back. Often our perception of what they can accomplish limits them, even when they are set at high levels. Push the students and they will surprise you…and you might surprise yourself. Also, those expectations need to be held consistent throughout the building. Expectations are the constitution of the school and need to be known and upheld in all areas at all times. Students from trauma or adverse backgrounds have significant difficulties adapting to differing systems or environments.
Scaffold instruction to grade level standards
Kids need access to grade level curriculum and grade level expectations. Yes, some students are not ready for it but if we keep playing catch-up by working on math facts when they are in middle school, they are never going to get exposed to higher level thinking. Educators need to find ways to expose all students to grade level curriculum and standards while scaffolding their learning or finding ways to provide intervention to them outside of the core instruction.
Teach vocabulary explicitly
Vocabulary, vocabulary, and more vocabulary. You’ve read the research: students coming from a poverty background have been exposed to an incredible shortage of words compared to their peers brought up in a middle class home. What does this mean to you as an educator? You have to go double time to expose kids to vocabulary that is varied, challenging, and new to them. Students need a rich vocabulary environment to catch-up and this doesn’t mean that you teach the same themed words that come with the various seasons. You have to be intentional about this and constantly on the lookout for opportunities to build this. Focus not only on the Tier 3 words which are content-specific but provide ample exposure to the Tier 2 words that provide meaning and comprehension.
Get your students engaged and excited
If you aren’t engaged and excited, your students won’t be engaged or excited, it’s as simple as that. You have to look for ways to connect the learning and content standards back to your students. How can you capture their attention? Show your excitement and get passionate! Use relevant practices and put the students in charge of their own learning. Groups, pairs, share outs, questions, and reflections encourage deeper thinking and provide meaning.

The main reason an author include evidence in a case study is to help the reader creek case study. Add a case study. Draw a conclusion from the case study. Conduct an investigation from the case study
Answer: To draw conclusion from the case study

A case study is an in-depth study or description of a person, place or an event. A case study is usually included in a writing to cite a detailed example of the topic being discussed. It is done to give readers a clearer picture and insight of the topic in general.
And when an author includes evidence in a case study, it is not to conduct an investigation or add a case or help the reader check the case study but to help the reader draw conclusion from the case study.

Read the passage from When Birds Get Flu by John DiConsiglio. Dr. Dowell had proven that bird flu could pass from person to person. But still, it hadn’t been spread easily. Which excerpt from earlier in the text best provides evidence to support Dr. Dowell’s conclusion in this passage? The next step for Dr. Dowell and his colleagues was to determine how mother and daughter had caught the flu. After helping her uncle bury some dead chickens, the girl developed a stomachache and a high fever, Dowell learned. During her day in the hospital, she never left her daughter’s room. That meant the mother most likely caught bird flu directly from her infected daughter. It had become even more dangerous than before. Now many other people would be at risk of getting sick and dying.
