5. – 6. Guide students in locating appropriate texts for each activity. Answers will
vary. Students’ responses should show an understanding and mastery of the
skills that make up the standard. Possible responses: 5. Whitman’s elegy for
Abraham Lincoln, “O Captain! My Captain!” uses the extended metaphor of
a dangerous sea voyage. That metaphor was prompted by the perils of the
American Civil War. 6. Homer’s epic poem the Odyssey and Robert Frost’s
lyric poem “Home Burial” both explore the importance of home.

3. Possible answer: Bradstreet is saying that she loves her husband intensely, more
than she loves anything else, and that she treasures his love for her.
4. Possible answer: Bradstreet uses an aabbccddeeff rhyme scheme, with only a
single stanza. The meter of the poem is iambic pentameter, meaning there are
five feet per line, each consisting of an unstressed followed by a stressed syllable.
Some students may perceive there are slight variations in this pattern; for
example, an anapest (unstressed, unstressed, stressed) in the second foot of line
10 and extra unstressed syllables at the end of lines 11 and 12.
5. Answers will vary, possible answer: By declaring she values her husband’s love
more than “whole mines of gold” she establishes that nothing is greater than
this love. Her imagery creates an impression of her love as a fire or thirst that no
amount of water can “quench.” Her repeated use of the word “love” in different
contexts constantly returns the reader to her central message, which is the
strength of her love.

1. Answers will vary. Students may conclude that the successful marketing
strategy Morrisey mentions in the first article might be related to the information
DataSourcez claims was stolen. Students might call into question Morrisey’s
integrity and honesty.
2. Possible answer: Article 2 uses anecdotal evidence to support the conclusion that
TeenLife may have to pay money to DataSourcez. However, empirical evidence
indicates that the stock fell 20% in the third quarter and that construction has
been halted on three new stores in Oklahoma.
3. Possible answer: It appears that TeenLife, Inc., is in fairly serious financial
trouble, with investors worried about the corporate scandal. Falling stock prices
have made it impossible for the company to continue building stores outside
Texas. Knowing how a settlement between TeenLife, Inc. and DataSourcez might
affect TeenLife, Inc.’s stock might allow one to interpret the situation more
accurately.

4. Answers will vary. Students’ responses should show an understanding and
mastery of the skills that make up the standard. Possible response: As everyone
agrees, juniors like Matt don’t have time for extra-curricular activities because
they’re too busy thinking about college (appeal to commonly held opinions);
You must either elect Sasha or watch as our school government collapses (false
dilemma); for years, Sasha has been waiting for this chance to serve her fellow
students (appeal to pity); I don’t want to spread rumors, but Matt was reportedly
seen stealing quarters from a school vending machine (personal attack).

3. The pyramid represents the estimated populations of male and female
Americans within given age groups in the year 2025.
4. There will be more 30- to 35-year-olds than 45- to 49-year-olds in 2025. This holds
true for both males and females. The estimate for the younger group is about
12 million males and 12 million females. The estimate for the older group is
about 11 million males and 11 million females.
5. Answers will vary. Possible response: Students might expect to find this
population pyramid in an article about U.S. population growth that appears in a
government journal, a newspaper, or a magazine.

may note the way in which many news shows today combine information
with entertainment. They may observe how shifts between these two purposes
affect the tone and level of formality. 6. Students may refer to the commercials’
quick visual set up of mini-dramas involving families and friends. They may
also refer to the use of music to enhance a mood or create excitement.

You might offer students several possibilities, including beginning with the least
important reason and proceeding to the most important.
5. Answers will vary. Students’ compositions should include a thesis and
supporting details presented in a logical order. Students should complete filling
in the rubric and discuss the results with their partner.
TX 29
TEKS 14
Answers will vary. Students’ responses should demonstrate an understanding
and mastery of the skills that make up the standard. Pacing might be a difficult
concept for some students. Explain to them that pacing refers to the ways in which
a writer can slow readers down or speed them up at critical points and throughout
the story. For example, by zooming in on a particular moment, a writer can slow
the pace and create tension. To help students visualize the concept, have them
consider pacing in a film: how the director can make events seem to speed up or
slow down through editing and the use of different camera angles.

years older, I would like to become a firefighter. 7. I prefer that he remove
his winter coat before we start playing. 8. People who do not like pizza are
not worth knowing (restrictive clause). I’m certain that we would not get
along with each other anyway (reciprocal pronouns). They don’t even like to
discuss pizza toppings, and they feel justified in their prejudice (compound
sentence, joined by conjunction). I, on the other hand, wish I were eating a
pizza with extra cheese right now (subjunctive mood).

5. Answers will vary. Students may suggest looking in news articles, interviews
with players, almanacs that list specific incomes of professional sports players,
editorials, and biographies. Many of the sources will likely include both facts
and opinions, although the almanac would focus on facts and statistics.

1. Possible answer: After hosting many guests throughout the winter, Mrs. Baroda
was surprised and somewhat miffed to learn that her husband’s friend
Gouvernail would be visiting for a week or two. After Gouvernail arrived,
however, Mrs. Baroda found him inexplicably likable, although he differed
considerably from her expectations.
2. Answers will vary. Students should list three questions they asked while
reading the excerpt and discuss how questioning the text affected their
comprehension of it.
3. Answers will vary. Students may say they visualized how Mrs. Baroda pictured
Gouvernail and then what Gouvernail actually looked like.
4. Answers will vary. Students may infer that, based on how Mrs. Baroda judges
Gouvernail, she judges people before she meets them. They may also infer that
Mrs. Baroda is wealthy based on the fact that she entertains often and mentions
that Gouvernail is not a “society man.”

concern for the spread of infections due to increased travel. Answers should
include the following elements: (1) ideas organized into a clear introduction,
body, and conclusion; (2) smooth transitions that provide a logical progression
of ideas; (3) a variety of correct sentence structures; and (4) no errors in

3. Possible answer: Bradstreet is saying that she loves her husband intensely, more
than she loves anything else, and that she treasures his love for her.
4. Possible answer: Bradstreet uses an aabbccddeeff rhyme scheme, with only a
single stanza. The meter of the poem is iambic pentameter, meaning there are
five feet per line, each consisting of an unstressed followed by a stressed syllable.
Some students may perceive there are slight variations in this pattern; for
example, an anapest (unstressed, unstressed, stressed) in the second foot of line
10 and extra unstressed syllables at the end of lines 11 and 12.
5. Answers will vary, possible answer: By declaring she values her husband’s love
more than “whole mines of gold” she establishes that nothing is greater than
this love. Her imagery creates an impression of her love as a fire or thirst that no
amount of water can “quench.” Her repeated use of the word “love” in different
contexts constantly returns the reader to her central message, which is the
strength of her love.

1. Answers will vary. Students may conclude that the successful marketing
strategy Morrisey mentions in the first article might be related to the information
DataSourcez claims was stolen. Students might call into question Morrisey’s
integrity and honesty.
2. Possible answer: Article 2 uses anecdotal evidence to support the conclusion that
TeenLife may have to pay money to DataSourcez. However, empirical evidence
indicates that the stock fell 20% in the third quarter and that construction has
been halted on three new stores in Oklahoma.
3. Possible answer: It appears that TeenLife, Inc., is in fairly serious financial
trouble, with investors worried about the corporate scandal. Falling stock prices
have made it impossible for the company to continue building stores outside
Texas. Knowing how a settlement between TeenLife, Inc. and DataSourcez might
affect TeenLife, Inc.’s stock might allow one to interpret the situation more
accurately.

dilemma); for years, Sasha has been waiting for this chance to serve her fellow

and mastery of the skills that make up the standard. Pacing might be a difficult
concept for some students. Explain to them that pacing refers to the ways in which
a writer can slow readers down or speed them up at critical points and throughout
the story. For example, by zooming in on a particular moment, a writer can slow
the pace and create tension. To help students visualize the concept, have them
consider pacing in a film: how the director can make events seem to speed up or
slow down through editing and the use of different camera angles.

1. Possible answer: After hosting many guests throughout the winter, Mrs. Baroda
was surprised and somewhat miffed to learn that her husband’s friend
Gouvernail would be visiting for a week or two. After Gouvernail arrived,
however, Mrs. Baroda found him inexplicably likable, although he differed
considerably from her expectations.
2. Answers will vary. Students should list three questions they asked while

comprehension of it.
3. Answers will vary. Students may say they visualized how Mrs. Baroda pictured
Gouvernail and then what Gouvernail actually looked like.
4. Answers will vary. Students may infer that, based on how Mrs. Baroda judges
