When Geraldine looked to the sky, she was amazed by what she saw. The tail from a comet cut across the sky like a knife through butter. It was the first time she had seen one in real life. Every comet she had seen up until now came from a book.

She almost didn't see it at first. The stars hung in the sky like a million eyes blinking and winking down at Geraldine. Geraldine wasn't even thinking about them or the campfire or the woods. Her mind was someplace else, and she had her mind on a lot of different things. She was thinking about how she was going to pay for college. She was thinking about graduation. She was thinking about everything but the sky. The last time that she was in the woods was when she was a little girl. It seemed so foreign to her. As her mind wandered, that's when the comet appeared. It was almost like it had read her thoughts. It passed over her head, and she traced its path with her finger like she was waving a magic wand.

Unlike Young, Champollion changed the spelling of “Ptolemy” to “Ptolmis,” which allowed him to decipher some of the hieroglyphs on the Rosetta Stone.

Unlike Young, Champollion traveled to Egypt, which allowed him to study other hieroglyphic inscriptions and decipher the hieroglyphs on the Rosetta Stone.

Unlike Young, Champollion had extensive mathematics knowledge, which allowed him to decipher the hieroglyphs on the Rosetta Stone.

Reread these sentences from Progress Report 10 (April 21) from “Flowers for Algernon” by Daniel Keyes.

I’m not sure what an I.Q. is. Dr. Nemur said it was something that measured how intelligent you were—like a scale in the drugstore weighs pounds. But Dr. Strauss had a big argument with him and said an I.Q. didn’t weigh intelligence at all. He said an I.Q.showed how much intelligence you could get, like the numbers on the outside of a measuring cup. You still had to fill the cup up with stuff. Then when I asked Burt [. . .] he said that both of them were wrong [. . .]. Burt says that the I.Q. measures a lot of different things including some of the things you learned already, and it really isn’t any good at all.

Write a multi paragraph essay that explains which character’s opinion (Dr. Nemur, Dr. Strauss, or Burt) is most supported by “Does IQ Test Really Measure Intelligence?” and “IQ Tests are ‘Meaningless and Too Simplistic’ Claim Researchers.” Cite evidence from the both texts to support your response. Be sure to observe the conventions of standard English.

Don’t forget that you must restate and answer to create your thesis statement and follow with 1 or 2 reasons.

Lucia is paraphrasing this passage from Through the Looking-Glass to help her understand what she reads. However, the egg only got larger and larger, and more and more human: when she had come within a few yards of it, she saw that it had eyes and a nose and mouth; and when she had come close to it, she saw clearly that it was HUMPTY DUMPTY himself. “It can't be anybody else!” she said to herself. “I'm as certain of it, as if his name were written all over his face.” It might have been written a hundred times, easily, on that enormous face. Humpty Dumpty was sitting with his legs crossed, like a Turk, on the top of a high wall—such a narrow one that Alice quite wondered how he could keep his balance—and, as his eyes were steadily fixed in the opposite direction, and he didn't take the least notice of her, she thought he must be a stuffed figure after all. “And how exactly like an egg he is!” she said aloud, standing with her hands ready to catch him, for she was every moment expecting him to fall. Which detail does Lucia need to avoid in her paraphrase? .
A.The egg is Humpty Dumpty.
B.Alice expects Humpty Dumpty to fall.
C.Humpty Dumpty crosses his legs.
D.The egg has eyes, a nose, and a mouth.
