Read the passage and study the map from Sugar Changed the World.

A map of the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. The United notes is east of the Mississippi River, the Louisiana Purchase territory west of the river, and New Spain on the west coast and southwest region of North America.

When the Haitians defeated the French armies, Napoleon lost control of the world's most productive sugar islands and with it his dream of great sugar profits. As a result, Napoleon had no use for the land in North America he had so recently obtained from Spain. Napoleon did, though, need money to pay for his wars. That is why he sold the vast Louisiana Territory to Jefferson for the bargain price of just fifteen million dollars. What textbooks call the Louisiana Purchase should really be named the Sugar Purchase. Americans obtained the middle part of what would become their nation because the Haitians achieved their freedom. But, paradoxically, that gave Haitian slave owners a new home.

As sugar planters fled from the revolution in Haiti, some moved to Cuba's Oriente Province, others to North America—to Louisiana.

How does the map help develop the central idea that the Louisiana Purchase had profound effects on sugar and the United States?

The map illustrates the spread of sugar plantations from Haiti to the Louisiana Territory.
The map clarifies how the Louisiana Purchase eventually became part of the United States.
The map illustrates the size of the Louisiana Purchase and suggests its economic potential.
The map clarifies that the Louisiana Territory was large enough to be sold for more money.

Then I walked into Mr. and Mrs. Frank's bedroom. On the floor, amidst the chaos of papers and books, my eye lit on the little red-orange checkered, cloth-bound diary that Anne had received from her father on her thirteenth birthday. I pointed it out to Elli. Obeying my gesture, she leaned down and picked it up for me, putting it into my hands. I remembered how happy Anne had been to receive this little book to write her private thoughts in. I knew how precious her diary was to Anne. My eyes scanned the rubble for more of Anne's writings, and I saw the old accounting books and many more writing papers that Elli and I had given to her when she had run out of pages in the checkered diary. Elli was still very scared, and looked to me for direction. I told Elli, "Help me pick up all Anne's writings.”
Choose the question that would be most effective at encouraging good discussion.
A. What would you have done if you found Anne’s dairy pages in the midst of the chaos?

Can you rewrite this poem in your own words ??


When we say we want gender equity
We mean we want the same opportunities.
To grow and thrive, work hard, and succeed.
As men have. After all, we’re fifty-fifty.
And the world is fifty percent women.
Many variations get misunderstood.
We all have identities on top of our gender.
And some of those get supported better.
Race, religion, and nationality
Age, ability, and sexuality
There is no one size fits all strategy.
To empowering women equitably.
Let’s talk about norms - they’re used to define
The traits and qualities to make people to stay in the line,
With what we expect to see and hear
The narrower they are, the more women disappear.
To support the mental space.
For all women to thrive in this little rat race
We need to expand the norms we believe.
Which are indicative of what it looks like to succeed
Language, mannerisms, accents, style
Let’s not make some women go the extra mile.
To conform to arbitrary standards.
Not all women wear skirts.
And within women’s styles, there are at least ten.
Equal pay is crucial to workplace equity.
So let’s make sure we’re looking at it granularly.
Historically white women are the first to see progress.
We cannot rest; no woman of any background should settle for less.

Which theme is conveyed in this excerpt from "The Tell-Tale Heart" by Edgar Allan Poe?

TRUE!—nervous—very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad? The disease had sharpened my senses—not destroyed—not dulled them. Above all was the sense of hearing acute. I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth. I heard many things in hell. How, then, am I mad? Hearken! and observe how healthily—how calmly I can tell you the whole story.

It is impossible to say how first the idea entered my brain; but once conceived, it haunted me day and night. Object there was none. Passion there was none. I loved the old man. He had never wronged me. He had never given me insult. For his gold I had no desire. I think it was his eye! yes, it was this! He had the eye of a vulture—a pale blue eye, with a film over it. Whenever it fell upon me, my blood ran cold; and so by degrees—very gradually—I made up my mind to take the life of the old man, and thus rid myself of the eye forever.

A.
The insane have no sense of time.
B.

In this excerpt from H. H. Munro's The Open Window," which line is an example of direct characterization?


"Here we are, my dear," said the bearer of the white mackintosh, coming in through the window,"fairly muddy, but most of its dry. Who was
that who bolted out as we came up?
"A most extraordinary man, a Mr. Nuttel," said Mrs. Sappleton; "could only talk about his illnesses, and dashed off without a word of good-bye
or apology when you arrived. One would think he had seen a ghost."
"1 expect it was the spaniel," said the nlece calmly, he told me he had a horror of dogs. He was once hunted into a cemetery somewhere on the
banks of the Ganges by a pack of pariah dogs, and had to spend the night in a newly dug grave with the creatures snarling and grinning and
foaming just above him. Enough to make anyone lose their nerve."
