your answer.
In the story, Li-Jun and his 3 friends were motivated to find Wilbur by different
things. Lin-Jun was motivated by the $50 reward. He wanted to find the cat by
himself, so he would receive all the reward money. His friends, however, were
motivated by the fact that they wanted to find Wilbur and return him to Mrs.
Kowalski because it was the right thing to do. They made posters, brought
supplies, and created a search plan, all with the goal of finding Wilbur. In the
end, Li-Jun realized that finding and returning Wilbur was the best motivation, not
the money.

Dear Journal, Today was an eventful day. I woke up to the news that Mrs. Kowalski’s cat,
Wilbur, was missing, and she was giving a $50 reward. I tried looking for Wilbur on my own, but
Jayla, Elinor and Ty wanted to help when they heard the cat was missing. I didn’t tell them
about the reward, hoping they wouldn’t want to help, but they still did. They brought supplies,
posters and created a plan to find Wilbur all without knowing about the money. Together, we
found Wilbur, and I felt so guilty about hiding the money from my friends. We didn’t end up
taking the reward from Mrs. Kowalski. My friends wanted to find Wilbur because it was the right
thing to do. I only wanted the money. I definitely learned a lesson from them that it’s more
important to be kind and helpful than to get a reward.

answer.
There are a lot of similarities and differences between Sofia’s life in 2035 and our present-
day life. First, Sofia has an iPhone just like we do. However, Sofia has an IPhone 22 which is not
the same version we have currently. In Sofia’s house, she has a virtual home assistant named
Rafael. He can start the coffee pot, turn on the lights, lock the doors, and turn on and off
anything in her house. In our present-day life, there are devices that can do some of the things
Rafael can do, such as turn off and on lights and music. Although, our current technology
can’t control everything in a house life Rafael. Finally, Sofia rode in a self-driving car, which the
text stated was how everyone traveled. In our present-day life, there are some self-driving cars,
but they are new and not very common. A lot of the things Sofia has in 2035 are present in our
current lives, just not as developed.

When she is getting ready for work, Rafael, her virtual home assistant, brews her
coffee, turns on and off the radio and locks her apartment doors. Technology
also drives her to work in a self-driving car, so she has time to work on writing her
novel. However, as the story progresses, technology has a negative impact on
her life. When she gets to work, Sofia is informed that a robot will be replacing her
at her job. She realizes that she needs to find a new career that can’t be

The text states that robots and artificial intelligence technology are more
likely to take jobs that are repetitive and predictable. These jobs include flipping
burgers, repairing a car, and giving medication at a pharmacy. Because of this,
a high school student would likely be given the advice to choose a career that
“requires critical thinking, creativity, and communication skills”. These jobs are
harder for robots and AI to complete because they require strategies,
relationships, and interpersonal communication skills. A high school student
should find a career that would be harder for a robot to complete.

5. Read the text, “Robot Invasion”. Based on information in the text, which one of the following, robots,
artificial intelligence technology, or artificial intelligence programmed into a robot, is the greatest
threat to jobs? Support your opinion with evidence from the text.
In my opinion, artificial intelligence programmed into a robot is the greatest
threat to jobs. This is because it combines the technology and capabilities of
both a robot and AI (artificial intelligence). The physical capabilities of a robot
are important for completing tasks that a job requires. AI can complete tasks,
solve problems, use logical reasoning to make decisions, which makes it capable
of completing a lot of jobs. When these two technologies are combined, they
are a larger threat to taking jobs away from humans.

According to the text, the Birmingham protests and violence from the police
were broadcast on every news station across the United States. The way the
students reacted with not meeting violence with violence resulted in outrage by
Americans at how brutal the attacks were on students, and the police were
criticized. The president called for a peaceful outcome. As a result of the
criticism and pressure to end the protests peacefully, Birmingham officials met
with protest leaders and agreed to terms that started desegregation in the city.
The students’ reaction of nonviolence led to the beginning of reaching their
goals.

At the beginning of the text, it was stated that in the “spring of 1963, support
for the Civil Rights Movement was declining.” The Birmingham Children’s March
had a lot of publicity throughout the United States. As a result, Birmingham
leaders met with protest leaders and agreed to begin desegregation efforts in
the city. The Birmingham Children’s March was considered a turning point
because the Civil Rights movement was declining, and the march gave it the
publicity it needed, which resulted in the goal of desegregation being met.

answer.
At the beginning of the story, both Liv and Zoey were not nice to Steven.
However, as the story progressed, Steven and Zoey started to talk and ended up
helping each other prepare for the talent show. This was a turning point where
Zoey realized Steven wasn’t the enemy. Liv did not feel the same way. She said,
“You told the enemy how to beat you?”. The day of the talent show, Liv
sabotaged Steven’s guitar making it impossible for him to play. Zoey was upset
with her friend for her actions and ended up helping Steven by performing with
him. Zoey and Liv acted very differently towards Steven throughout the story.

The text is structured in chronological order by day and time. I think the author
structured the text in this way because he/she wanted the reader to know what
events occurred on each day/time and how much time passed throughout the
entire story. I think this was an effective way to structure the text because it was
as if each day/time was a chapter in the story. This made the text easy to read
and organized. Also, the fact that the author broke up Saturday into different
times proves that it is the most important part of the story and deserves more
details.

The function of the stage directions is to provide the characters and people
behind the scenes of a drama more information about each scene and what
the characters are supposed to be doing. For example, in Scene 1, the stage
directions say the scene is in a forest with a large tree stump that the lion is laying
behind and the narrator is in the front corner wearing black robes. These
directions are important because they explain how the scene should look and
where the characters should go. If they weren’t there, the scene might not have
the tree stump, might be set in the jungle, and the narrator might be wearing
white clothes. Stage directions are important because they give directions to the
people preforming the drama.

the role of the narrator in this drama different from most other dramas? Do you think this approach was
effective in this drama? Cite evidence from the text to support your answer.
In this drama, the narrator was involved in the play. She talked to the
characters and ended up being in the action. In most dramas, the narrator does
not interact with the characters in the play and is not in the action. The narrator
usually serves as an outside character, talking about the play as it is happening. I
think this approach was effective because it was different and unexpected.
Because the narrator’s role in this drama was so different than normal, it made it
entertaining.

Model Example: Constructed Response 1 - Q2:7

It is important to know the difference between real and fake news because
real news includes facts that actually happened, while fake news is news that is
not true. The reason it is important to know the difference is because fake news is
intentionally misleading, which can make people believe things that didn’t
happen. This is a problem because if people believe fake news, they can share it
with others, which continues to spread false information. Knowing the signs of
real and fake news will help people be better informed.

5. Read the text, “Online News: How to Tell If It’s Real of Fake”. Based on information from the
text, why do you think a news source would intentionally print fake news? Cite evidence from
the text to support your answer.
There are many reasons a news source might intentionally print fake news.
First, they could print them for money. According to the text, one characteristic
of fake news is advertorial, which means it was paid for by an advertiser. So, the
news source might have printed the fake news to make money from the
advertiser. Another reason might be to embarrass a person because a news
source has a bias against them. The text states that another characteristic of
fake news is using unflattering photos, such as someone sneezing or blinking.
There are many different reasons a news source might print fake news.

I think Liam would handle a similar situation differently in the future. He made
a lot of assumptions about Mrs. Strickland that weren’t true. When he was looking
at her notebook and realized they were sketches, he was embarrassed and
apologized to her for thinking she was a spy. I think he learned that assumptions
without a lot of information are often incorrect. In the future, I think he will stop
himself before making assumptions and try to get more information.

5. Read the story, “The Football Spy”. Rewrite this story (in a much shorter version) from a
different character’s point of view. Make sure you include key details from the text.
I had just gotten home from watching and sketching at the boys’ football practice when I
heard a knock on my door. To my surprise, it was Liam and his brother. I wasn’t quite sure what
they wanted, but I invited them in for cookies and lemonade. After a bit of chatting about
football, Liam started acting funny and ran towards my sketch book. He looked quite
confused as he flipped through the pages. I asked him why he grabbed my sketch book, and
he said he thought I was a spy for Lanville. I laughed so hard at this. Me? A spy? I explained to
the boys that I like drawing action shots, and I agreed to come back to practice next week to
sketch the team again. I think the boys learned a lesson about making assumptions, and I got
a good laugh out of the situation.
