Write a two-paragraph story about traveling on a dog sled, using the same tone and style of The Call of the Wild. Before you begin, read a few paragraphs from the book. Pay attention to the different kinds of sentences; some are long and some are short. Some of the sentences involve many verbs, and some use just one. Try to use the same sentence variety in your own story.

Answer:

I live in the outskirts of a large city in western Canada. I live in the same place as a million other people. The dominant season for those so far north is winter. It can be so cold that the pine beetle freezes to death and our pines are saved from their ravaging destructive teeth. Other places, places with far more beauty and far more attractiveness, are punctuated by dead pine dotting the road side. We have special tires for winter: the snow can be feet deep and people clearing their walks and make piles of snow many more feet deep. Our insurance companies insist on winter tires; the snow is too treacherous, too slippery, too unfriendly just to rely on all season tires -- especially lately. The weather has changed.

We do have dogs. Some like winter, others tolerate it. Some play and frolic jumping up to grab the snow flakes, barking as they ascend, before the white hits the ground. They are active innocents who amuse us when we are out walking them. We meet others that we know and we stop to talk about the weather or our children or other neighborhood news. We are dressed with scarves covering our faces, but nothing hides the glow of our eyes as we welcome the company of those we know and like.

I've seen deep snow. I've seen well dressed people, prepared for winter and enjoying their pets, but I've never seen a dog sled or the kind of husky that would pull it. There are just too many people where I live. And I'll bet the same is true for you unless you live in Alaska or the Yukon.

Read the excerpt from Story of My Life by Helen Keller.

When we arrived in Baltimore, Dr. Chisholm received us kindly: but he could do nothing. He said, however, that I could be educated, and advised my father to consult Dr. Alexander Graham Bell of Washington, who would be able to give him information about schools and teachers of deaf or blind children. Acting on the doctor's advice, we went immediately to Washington to see Dr. Bell, my father with a sad heart and many misgivings, I wholly unconscious of his anguish, finding pleasure in the excitement of moving from place to place. Child as I was, I at once felt the tenderness and sympathy which endeared Dr. Bell to so many hearts, as his wonderful achievements enlist their admiration. He held me on his knee while I examined his watch, and he made it strike for me. He understood my signs, and I knew it and loved him at once. But I did not dream that that interview would be the door through which I should pass from darkness into light, from isolation to friendship, companionship, knowledge, love.

Paraphrase the following paragraph (3) from “Teaching Versus Acting”

“Indeed, not all teachers are brilliant ones. There are specific skills that good teachers should have. For instance, the true teacher knows how to engage the audience and turn class into and interesting demonstration of knowledge. In other words, a good teacher understands that it is not enough to know the subject, one has to know how to make this subject interesting and attractive to the audience - students. So, teaching and acting are two sides of the same coin.”

Read the excerpt from "On Becoming an Inventor" by Dean Kamen.

When I was twelve years old and Barton, my older brother, was around fifteen, we took over the family basement. At first, I made a darkroom for developing pictures, and Bart was using it as his lab where he was raising about one hundred white rats, removing their thymus glands, and trying to figure out the glands' dysfunction. He wanted pictures taken of his experiment, doing the surgery on rats, and since I already had a darkroom, I took the pictures, though somewhat reluctantly. I didn't like the blood.

What can you conclude about Barton from the excerpt?

He was interested in solving medical mysteries at a rather early age.
He did not understand why Dean would be squeamish about the blood.
He went on to become a very famous and successful doctor.
He had a severe dislike for rats and all other kinds of rodents.

Read the excerpt from The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone, by James Cross Giblin.

Young had learned to read before he was two, and by the age of twenty had mastered a dozen foreign languages including Arabic, Persian, and Turkish. An inheritance from an uncle left him free to pursue his scientific interests. At various times, Young studied the habits of spiders, the surface features of the moon, and diseases of the chest. Then, intrigued by the challenge of the Rosetta Stone, he put aside his other studies and concentrated on attempting to decipher the writing on it. Young had read of de Sacy’s and Akerblad’s work in Paris, and was determined to succeed where they had failed.

The details in this excerpt hint that Giblin has a
