I ask them to take a poem


and hold it up to the light


like a color slide




or press an ear against its hive.




I say drop a mouse into a poem


and watch him probe his way out,




or walk inside the poem's room


and feel the walls for a light switch.




I want them to waterski

But all they want to do

Which supporting detail from the passage would be most important to

include in a summary?


Until the 1800s, there was no such thing as standard time. Each local

town had its own time, based on the position of the sun over the town.

Times often differed between towns that were only a short distance

apart. In the United States, for instance, there were over 300 different

time systems

Why did this change? Railroads. With so many different times, it was

impossible for people to know when to catch the train Accidents even

resulted sometimes, when operators of trains using the same track

had different times on their clocks. So, to make train travel possible,

the world was divided into time zones, and times were standardized

Jason could feel butterflies in his stomach as he entered the bustling
airport. This place is a zoo!" his mother exclaimed as she got in line at the
ticket counter behind about a million other travelers. Like an obedient
puppy, Jason followed. After waiting forever to check their luggage, Jason's
family had a quick breakfast at the Dunkin Donuts counter before heading
off to airport security. "Great," whined Jason, "another line." As he glanced
ahead, Jason noticed that the main security guard looked more intimidating
than Mr. T. Finally, Jason placed his shoes, belt, and change onto the tired
conveyor belt and walked through the metal detector, relieved when he
didn't hear a beep. He collected his items and finally reached the gate.
Waiting in line to board the plane, an older lady asked Jason how he liked
flying. He was close enough now to hear the engines roar as they came to
life. “This is my first time," he replied.

Read the excerpt from Adam's personal narrative.

I stepped into the tidal pool carefully, wishing I had brought my water shoes. "What's the matter, afraid of a few crabs?" Laura smiled. "It doesn't hurt that much when they pinch. They're only little," she said. Laura wasn't afraid of anything, or at least I'd never seen her get scared. She was the type to dive off a cliff and not even think about what was in the water below.

"But there are so many of them!" I winced.

"I know, it’s so cool!" she replied, scooping a crab into her hand to look at it more closely. I nearly screamed.
