Explanation:

Read the article "Make a Change: Alternatives to Plastic Straws": Plastic is ruining the environment. Every year, 300 million tons of plastic are discarded in America, more than 8 million tons of which end up in the ocean. Over half of plastic waste is single-use plastic items such as bags, bottles, and food containers. Americans use 35 billion plastic water bottles a year. Similarly, over 1 million plastic bags are used every minute worldwide. These wasteful products are choking landfills and polluting waters. They should be, and can be, replaced with more environmentally friendly alternatives. A good example of a plastic item that should be replaced is the plastic straw. 500 million straws are used and discarded each year in America. That is enough straws to wrap around the whole of the Earth two-and-a-half times! Straws are, for the most part, completely unnecessary. Only a small number of people with certain medical conditions need straws for drinking. The rest of the population does not need straws. They simply have become accustomed to using them. Alternatives are available, but which one is best? Natural Alternatives Materials such as paper, straw, and bamboo are natural and biodegradable. They can also be used to make environmentally friendly drinking straws. Straws made from natural materials will decompose much more easily. They can be thrown in with food waste and composted. They are also relatively easy to find in stores and are inexpensive to buy. However, there are some drawbacks. Paper straws can quickly turn to mush when submerged in liquid. Likewise, drinking straws made from straw are not as strong as plastic and can tear easily. This makes both of these alternatives non-reusable. While bamboo is a more robust material, it too can only be reused a limited number of times. Bamboo must be responsibly sourced, as well, making it a more expensive option. Straw grass is similarly costly to use. Human-Made Alternatives Biodegradable plastics are now available and are used in many products, including straws. These plastics can decompose naturally in as little as 12 weeks. Unlike more natural alternatives, these straws look and feel the same as plastic straws. They are also stronger than natural products and can be easily mass-produced. Similar to natural straw alternatives, though, they are more expensive than plastic. They also must be disposed of properly (with food waste) or they will not fully decompose. Metal straws are another human-made alternative to plastic. Metal is very durable, which means that straws made from this material are long-lasting. They are more expensive to buy, but because they are reusable, they are actually cheaper in the long run. Glass straws are another alternative and offer many of the same benefits as metal straws. Both are dishwasher-safe and highly reusable. Unlike metal, however, glass can break easily, which is something that needs to be taken into account. Nevertheless, glass straws often feature unique designs that can be seen as works of art, which is a plus for some consumers. There are many alternatives to plastic straws currently on the market. While each one has its benefits and drawbacks, any of them would be a better choice than harmful plastic. On the other hand, going straw-less would be even better! How does the author's choice of words or phrases influence what the reader thinks about the topic in the article? The author uses phrases like "same benefits," "some drawbacks," and "many alternatives" to show while there are still positives and negatives to the alternatives, they are still better than plastic. The author uses phrases like "unique designs," "easily mass-produced," and "stronger than natural products" to show that plastic straws have many benefits compared to other materials. The author uses words like "drawbacks," "unlike," and "harmful" to create a negative feeling about the alternatives to making plastic straws, showing plastic is still the better option. The author uses words like "metal," "glass," "plastic," and "bamboo" to show the reader there is hope towards finding the best materials to use when producing straws.

If I Can't Have You - Shawn Mendes (Lyrics)
I can't write one song that's not about you
Can't drink without thinkin' about you
Is it too late to tell you that
Everything means nothing if I can't have you?

I'm in Toronto and I got this view
But I might as well be in a hotel room, yeah
It doesn't matter 'cause I'm so consumed
Spending all my nights reading texts from you

Oh, I'm good at keepin' my distance
I know that you're the feelin' I'm missing
You know that I hate to admit it
But everything means nothin' if I can't have you

I can't write one song that's not about you
Can't drink without thinkin' about you
Is it too late to tell you that
Everything means nothing if I can't have you?
I can't write one song that's not about you
Can't drink without thinkin' about you
Is it too late to tell you that
Everything means nothing if I can't have you?

I'm so sorry that my timing's off
But I can't move on if we're still gonna talk
Is it wrong for me to not want half?
I want all of you, all the strings attached

Oh, I'm good at keepin' my distance
I know that you're the feelin' I'm missing
You know that I hate to admit it
But everything means nothin' if I can't have you

I can't write one song that's not about you
Can't drink without thinkin' about you
Is it too late to tell you that
Everything means nothing if I can't have you?
I can't write one song that's not about you
Can't drink without thinkin' about you
Is it too late to tell you that
Everything means nothing if I can't have you?

I'm trying to move on
Forget you, but I hold on
Everything means nothing
Everything means nothing, babe
I'm trying to move on
Forget you, but I hold on
Everything means nothing if I can't have you, no

I can't write one song that's not about you
Can't drink without thinkin' about you
Is it too late to tell you that
Everything means nothing if I can't have you?
I can't write one song that's not about you
Can't drink without thinkin' about you
Is it too late to tell you that
Everything means nothing if I can't have you?

It has been suggested that the Dinomatron shortage was a conspiracy
to drive up prices, but I disagree. First of all, no one could have
predicted the immense popularity of this toy. Just last year, a very
similar dinosaur-building kit was ignored by shoppers. Second, severe
winter weather all along the East Coast led to shipping delays,
contributing to the shortage. Could someone have conspired to create
bad weather? I don't think so. The Dinomatron price increase was the
natural result of supply and demand economics. During the busy
holiday shopping season, weather prevented toy stores from receiving
enough toys to fill demand. Therefore, they became more valuable.
How does the author respond to the counterclaim?
A. By accusing someone of manipulating the weather to cause the
shortage
B. By explaining how uncontrollable circumstances led to the price
increase
C. By illustrating how Dinomatron was a popular holiday toy
D. By showing how increased prices led to competition in the
marketplace

Write about winter.

A Fall Display

In some parts of this country, Fall is the most colorful season of the year. It is the time when leaves change color. As colder temperatures blow in the green leaves are transformed into beautiful shades of yellow, red, and orange. How splendid and colorful the fall leaves become depends on what the weather was like in the summer. When summer brings warm, sunny days and crisp cool nights, the leaves in fall are more colorful. Rain also plays a role. If it rains too much or not enough over the summer the fall leaves may not be as bright. Many people will enjoy outside to see fall's beautiful display of color. But do you know what happens next? All of those beautiful leaves fall out of the trees. And then its time to bring out the rake!

GOLD IN THE SKY
By Alan E. Nourse

Chapter 1. Trouble Times Two

The sun was glowing dull red as it slipped down behind the curving horizon of Mars, but Gregory Hunter was not able to see it.

There was no viewscreen in the ship's cabin; it was too tiny for that. Greg twisted around in the cockpit that had been built just big enough to hold him, and shifted his long legs against the brace-webbing, trying to get them comfortable.

He knew he was afraid ... but nobody else knew that, not even the captain waiting at the control board on the satellite, and in spite of the fear Greg Hunter would not have traded places at this moment with anyone else in the universe.

He had worked too hard and waited too long for this moment.

He heard the count-down monitor clicking in his ears, and his hands clenched into fists. How far from Mars would he be 10 minutes from now? He didn't know. Farther than any man had ever traveled before in the space of 10 minutes, he knew, and faster. How far and how fast would depend on him alone.

"All set, Greg?" It was the captain's voice in the earphones.

"All set, Captain."

"You understand the program?"

Greg nodded. "24 hours out, 24 hours back, 90 degrees to the ecliptic1, and all the acceleration2 I can stand both ways."

Greg grinned to himself. He thought of the months of conditioning he had gone through to prepare for this run ... the hours in the centrifuge to build up his tolerance to acceleration, the careful diet, the rigorous hours of physical conditioning. It was only one experiment, one tiny step in the work that could someday give men the stars, but to Gregory Hunter at this moment it was everything.

"Good luck, then." The captain cut off, and the blastoff buzzer sounded.

He was off. His heart hammered in his throat, and his eyes ached fiercely, but he paid no attention. His finger crept to the air-speed indicator, then to the cut-off switch. When the pressure became too great, when he began to black out, he would press it.

But not yet. It was speed they wanted; they had to know how much acceleration a man could take for how long and still survive, and now it was up to him to show them.

Fleetingly, he thought of Tom ... poor old stick-in-the-mud Tom, working away in his grubby little Mars-bound laboratory, watching bacteria grow. Tom could never have qualified for a job like this. Tom couldn't even go into free-fall for 10 minutes without getting sick all over the place. Greg felt a surge of pity for his brother, and then a twinge of malicious anticipation. Wait until Tom heard the reports on this run! It was all right to spend your time poking around with bottles and test tubes if you couldn't do anything else, but it took something special to pilot an XP ship for Project Star-Jump. And after this run was over, even Tom would have to admit it....

There was a lurch, and quite suddenly the enormous pressure was gone.

Something was wrong. He hadn't pushed the cut-off button, yet the ship's engines were suddenly silent. He jabbed at the power switch. Nothing happened. Then the side-jets sputted, and he was slammed sideways into the cot.

He snapped on the radio speaker. "Control ... can you hear me? Something's gone wrong out here...."

What is the purpose of Miep Gies in this excerpt?
Alb
to tell people about all of her heroic actions during
Ms. MIEP GIES: I, myself, I'm just a very common
person. I simply had no choice. I could foresee many,
many sleepless nights and a life filled with regret if I
would have refused to help the Franks. And this was not
the kind of life I was looking for at all.
SCHULTZ: Gies explained another motivation for
emphasizing her modesty. She said if people are allowed
to think it takes remarkable qualities to act boldly on
behalf of others, few will attempt it.
Ms. GIES: People should never think that you have to be
a very special person to help those who need you.

For this portfolio, you will be writing a 5-paragraph essay. This time you will be writing an argumentative essay. You need to make a "claim" or "thesis" on a topic. Then, you need to come up with 3 arguments or reasons that a reader should believe your claim. (these are the three body paragraphs )


Here are some ideas you can choose from:


Which is a better pet- cat or dog?


Should smoking be outlawed?


Is gaming dangerous to children's health?


Which is better- traditional school or online school?


Again, you can choose your own topic, but make sure to create a strong thesis that you will prove with facts, reasons, examples, and evidence.

Chapter 9 To Kill a mockingbird At the end of the chapter, why did Scout want to hear his words?

Select the correct text in the passage.
Donny has written a letter to his principal. One sentence is unclear because it’s not specific enough. Which sentence is it?
Dear Principal Shelton,

We heard that you were looking for a celebrity to come and speak to our school. You don’t want to choose just any celebrity; you need to choose someone who can impact our school for good. Emma Watson played the character of Hermione in the Harry Potter movies. She’s someone that students at our school can relate to, admire, and be inspired by.

Ms. Watson is known as a kind person, and because of this, she was chosen for an important role in an organization. She believes in the importance of educating girls around the world. She spent time in Bangladesh and Zambia in order to promote education for girls in these two countries. Both of these countries have large populations of women who cannot read. Emma Watson travels the world to encourage people to support equality for females, the empowerment of women, and education for everyone. Not only does her message encourage girls to strive for excellence and equality, but it can also teach everyone the importance of education.
