Answer:

Explanation:

We can be proud of what we achieve in the Mount Vernon City Schools. This year, as in the past, we must concentrate

on the processes that spur continuing advancement: evaluating what we have, determining what we can do to improve,

and identifying what we need to make those improvements. The Curriculum and Instruction Department has taken a

close look at district-wide data, survey data, walk-through data, and teacher input to make amendments to our

curriculum. In order to ensure all stake-holders have clear expectations for the 2018-2019, please find an outline of the

expectations that include past practices and new initiatives.

Newness alone, however, cannot produce transformation. Starting a new year gives us the opportunity to make new

plans, design new strategies, and implement new ideas. There is a special kind of joy and satisfaction in planning lessons

and activities for a new class; for although the subject or grade level is the same, the students are new, and they appreciate

the planning that is done for them.

We are elated to announce the adoptions of “Collections”, a blended core ELA Curriculum Designed to prompt

thoughtfulness, inspire inquiry, and prepare students for 21st century literacies. The adoption will provide students in

engaging texts found in an anthology, coupled with a variety of trade books for indepth novel studies. Students and

teachers will interact with technology to increase engagement and support the acquisition of skills and strategies.

I need help. What is a witch cake in the witch hunt short story

"if you can keep your head when all about you

are losing theirs blaming it on you,

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

But make allowance for their doubting too;

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

Or being lied about, don't deal in the lies,

Or being hated, don't give away to hating,

And yet don't look to good, nor talk to wide:

If you can dream-and not make dreams your master;

If you can think-and not make thoughts your aim;

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster

And treat those two imposters just the same;

If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken

Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,

And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools.

If you can make one heap of all your winnings

And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings

And never breathe a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

To serve your turn long after they are gone

And so hold on when there is nothing in you

Except the Will which says to them: "Hold o"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,

Or walk with Kings-nor lose the common touch,

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,

If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,

Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,

And-which is more- you'll be a man, my son."

Read the following poem, You Begin, by Margaret Atwood.

You Begin

by Margaret Atwood

You begin this way:

this is your hand,

this is your eye,

that is a fish, blue and flat

on the paper, almost

the shape of an eye.

This is your mouth, this is an O

or a moon, whichever

you like. This is yellow.

x

Outside the window

is the rain, green

because it is summer, and beyond that

the trees and then the world,

which is round and has only

the colors of these nine crayons.

x

This is the world, which is fuller

and more difficult to learn than I have said.

You are right to smudge it that way

with the red and then

the orange: the world burns.

x

Once you have learned these words

you will learn that there are more

words than you can ever learn.

The word hand floats above your hand

like a small cloud over a lake.

The word hand anchors

your hand to this table,

your hand is a warm stone

I hold between two words.

x

This is your hand, these are my hands, this is the world,

which is round but not flat and has more colors

than we can see.

x

It begins, it has an end,

this is what you will

come back to, this is your hand.

x

The end

x

Concentrate on the following stanza:

Once you have learned these words
you will learn that there are more
words than you can ever learn.
The word hand floats above your hand
like a small cloud over a lake.
The word hand anchors
your hand to this table,
your hand is a warm stone
I hold between two words.

Answer the following questions:
1. What does the cloud in the simile represent?
2. What does the warm stone signify? Is it only the child's hand?
3. how is this description different from saying simply that the hand is warm?
4. How is this description different from saying the hand is like a warm stone?
5. Is this an effective metaphor? Why or why not?
