Remembering 9/11


Look at the picture below.  This is one of the memorials at the World Trade Center site.  All of the names of the people who died are on this memorial reflection pool.  
Why do you think this memorial was built?  How do you think this memorial can help the families of those who lost their lives?  Explain using specific evidence from what you have learned about 9/11.

**Remember to write an 8th-grade quality response..... details, details, details! I want to clearly know what you are thinking.**

Avoiding Plagiarism by SUMMARIZING

1)  List as many steps to avoid plagiarism by summarizing as you can remember. 2)  Summarize the following paragraph: I n the movies, quicksand looks pretty scary, but in real-life it is rarely more than a few feet deep.  If you are ever caught in a pool of quicksand, don’t panic and kick around.  The best thing you can do is to lay back with your arms spread.  Then you will float on top of the sand instead of being sucked down. by Sandy Sanderson; New York Times

"Thank You Ma'am" setting

Write an 8th grade quality paragraph explaining how the short story Thank You, Ma'am  might change if the setting's time period were different?
