ENGLISH Q2-W1 CROSSING THE BAR

Directions: Answer the questions below.

CROSSING THE BAR
by Alfred Lord Tennyson

Sunset and evening star,

And one clear call for me! Twilight and evening bell,
And may there be no moaning of the bar, And after that the dark!
When I put out to sea, And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark;
But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam, For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place
When that which drew from The flood may bear me far,
out the boundless deep I hope to see my Pilot face to face
Turns again home. When I have crost the bar.

An Excerpt from President Obama's Presidential Proclamation

Martin Luther King, Jr. Day (January 15, 2010)

The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. challenged our Nation to recognize that our individual liberty relies upon our
common equality.
In communities marred by division and injustice, the movement he built from the ground up forced open doors to
negotiation. The strength of his leadership was matched only by the power of his words, which still call on us to perfect those
sacred ideals enshrined in our founding documents.
"We have an opportunity to make America a better Nation," Dr. King said on the eve of his death. "I may not get there
with you. But I want you to know tonight that we, as people, will get to the promised land." Though we have made great strides
since the turbulent era of Dr. King's movement, his work and our journey remain unfinished. Only when our children are free to
pursue their full measure of success -- unhindered by the color of their skin, their gender, the faith in their heart, the people they
love, or the fortune of their birth -- will we have reached our destination.
Today, we are closer to fulfilling America's promise of economic and social justice because we stand on the shoulders of
giants like Dr. King, yet our future progress will depend on how we prepare our next generation of leaders. We must fortify their
ladders of opportunity by correcting social injustice, breaking the cycle of poverty in struggling communities, and reinvesting in our
schools. Education can unlock child's potential and remains our strongest weapon against injustice and inequality.
Recognizing that our Nation has yet to reach Dr. King's promised land is not an admission of defeat, but a call to action. In these
challenging times, too many Americans face limited opportunities, but our capacity to support each other remains limitless. Today,
let us ask ourselves what Dr. King believed to be life's most urgent and persistent question: "What are you doing for others?"...

1. On the eve of his death, what did Dr.

King say about the opportunity that we
have to do?
2. Even after his death, Dr. King has
continued challenging the Americans to
make America a better nation. What
evidence from the text supports this
conclusion?
3. Based on this speech, what can you infer
about economic and social justice in
America?
4. Based on this proclamation, how could
Americans support each other in bringing
America closer to Dr. King's "promised
land" of equality and opportunity?
Support your answer with evidence from
the text.
5. In the last paragraph of the text, what did
President Obama try to persuade people
to do? Do you think this could also be
applied in the current situation of our
country? Explain your answer.

Community spirit drives volunteer firefighters in Portugal
By Associated Press, adapted by Newsela Staff
This summer, 2,000 Portuguese firefighters battled a deadly,
weeklong wildfire that killed 64 people. Besides facing serious danger,
these firefighters had something in common: they were doing it for no pay.
Over 90 percent of Portugal's firefighters are volunteers. From
lawyers to construction workers, they take time off work to risk their lives.
The volunteer fire departments where they work nee donated money to
pay for their equipment.
During the summer fire season, firefighters are often sent to
fires far from their homes. Then the government pays these brave men
and women $2 an hour. The volunteer firefighters usually give the money
to their fire departments.
Sense of Duty Pushes Volunteers
Hugo Simoes is a 33-year-old bombeir , or firefighter. In June,
he was sent to the country's deadliest wildfire. He says a sense of duty
and brotherhood drives the volunteers. "We do it out of community spirit,"
he says. Volunteer firefighters are not uncommon in Europe and beyond.
More than 97 percent of German firefighters are volunteers. In the United
States that figure is around 70 percent. But in Portugal, these volunteer
services are the front line in emergencies. There are just seven paid fire
departments in the country.
Cultural Tradition
Simoes works for Portugal's oldest fire department, the
Bombeiros Voluntarios de Lisboa. It was created in 1868 in the capital city
of Lisbon. For him, the volunteer spirit shown by generations of firefighters
is not remarkable. It is a cultural tradition.
"Here in Portugal, it has been like this for a long time," he
shrugs. "We like what we do. On hot days when we could go to the beach,
we come here to the fire department instead."
Simoes works full-time doing administrative work at the fire
department. He earns around $700 a month.
In June, there was a huge blaze about 90 miles north of Lisbon
in Pedrogao Grande. Simoes set off with four vehicles and their crews
"Some walked out of work and risked being marked as absent,"
Simoes says. Across the country, other volunteer firefighters did the same.
.
1. What are the two main ideas of the article?
2. What do you think is the purpose of the
article?
3. Do you know any similar circumstances
experienced by Filipino firefighters and/or other
risk-reduction personnel in your community?
4. Complete the Community Connections

Summer is the Time for Wildfires
The Pedrogao Grande blaze grew because of hot weather,
strong winds and dry woods. The fire spread quickly and trapped people in
their cars when they tried to escape.
"The stress, the adrenaline, the heat — they demand a huge
effort," Simoes said. "At times it can get a bit hairy, but our training kicks
in."
Similar scenes play out every summer in Portugal. Giant
flames make the firefighters look tiny. Huge clouds of smoke stretch to the
horizon. Locals help out with buckets and garden hoses and try to stop the
flames with broken-off tree branches. Wildfires race through eucalyptus
and pine forests that are uncleared and tightly packed.
This year has been particularly bad, due to a severe drought.
Portugal is one of 28 cou n tries in the European Union. But the wildfires in
Portugal caused more than one-third of the burnt forest of the European
Union.
Last week, Simoes and his team were sent to a major forest
fire near Pedrogao Grande. Firefighters had the blaze under control within
48 hours.
Donating Food and Water
The volunteer firefighters are seen as heroes in Portugal. A
recent fundraising effort called them "heroes without capes." The people
of Portugal happily donate large amounts of food and water to help the
firefighters.
About 80 people are on call at the Bombeiros Voluntarios de
Lisboa. They receive more than 300 hours of training, which is also done
outside their day jobs.
Simoes says the department has always had enough workers,
though it is stretched in emergencies. It has just enough money. Fire suits
cost over $2,000 each. The recent purchase of 100 new helmets cost
$33,000.
Portugal's volunteer fire departments often buy used vehicles.
In Lisbon, that includes a fire truck purchased in Luxembourg. A new one
costs almost $300,000 — way too expensive for the department. Their
dream, they confide, is to own a big American fire truck

ENGLISH Q2-W6 Task 6 p 33

Directions: Read the poem carefully. Then, answer the questions that follow.

If We Must Die
By Claude McKay (1889–1948)

If we must die, let it not be like hogs If we must die, O let us nobly die,
Hunted and penned in an inglorious spot, So that our precious blood may not be shed
While round us bark the mad and hungry dogs, In vain; then even the monsters we defy
Making their mock at our accursèd lot. Shall be constrained to honor us though dead!
 O kinsmen! we must meet the common foe! What though before us lies the open grave?
Though far outnumbered let us show us brave, Like men we’ll face the murderous, cowardly pack,
And for their thousand blows deal one death-blow! Pressed to the wall, dying, but fighting back!

1. What do the first four lines establish?

2. What message does the persona
forward to his allies?
3. How does the persona describe his
enemies?
4. According to the poet, how can one die
nobly?

5. Using the Venn diagram below, compare and contrast the specific messages and/or values presented in the poem and in the
article in Task 5
