Select the paragraph that shows that Mason is excited after finding the baseball photo.
Who Were the Spiders?



The Cooper family was about to move because Dad had a new job in Colorado. He had been out of work for a year, and Natalie and Mason knew he had been unhappy, but now a new job was making things look better. As Dad said, “Every cloud has a silver lining.”



Dad was already in Colorado, but Mom stayed behind so that the twins Natalie and Mason could finish fifth grade at Oak School. Today, Natalie and Mason were helping to pack boxes, and they enjoyed looking at the old treasures, especially the photo albums.



Mason found many photos, and Natalie picked up one of a baseball team in which the men’s uniforms had CLEVELAND printed on them. Someone had written 1895 on the photo, and Natalie asked, “Why is this photo here? The year is more than one hundred years ago.”



Mason asked Mom, “Is there a famous baseball player in our family?”



“I don’t know of anyone in my family, but maybe there was someone in your dad’s family,” she said, “so remember to ask about the photo when you talk to your dad tonight.”





That night Dad called, and Mason was eager to talk to him. “Dad, we found a photo today of a baseball team that played in 1895. Did one of your relatives play on a team a long time ago?”



Dad said, “It’s familiar, but I don’t know the story. Some of the photos are my father’s, so why don’t you call him and see if he knows?”



Grandpa Ken recalled that a relative played for a Cleveland team, a cousin of his great-grandfather whose last name was Zimmer, so Grandpa suggested they look up early Cleveland teams.



Mason and Natalie headed for the computer and found a baseball encyclopedia, where they clicked on “Teams” and found links to “Active Franchises” and “Earlier Franchises.” Mason knew that a franchise is a name for a professional sports team. Under “Earlier Franchises” they found three teams: Cleveland Blue, 1879–1884; Cleveland Infants, 1890–1890; and Cleveland Spiders, 1887–1899.



Mason shouted, “We found the answer! Our 1895 photo must show the Cleveland Spiders.”



Natalie said, “You might be right, so let’s find out about them.”



They looked for Cleveland Spiders and found the headline, “Grand Opening. About Nine Thousand People See the First Game.” A new Cleveland ballpark had opened on May 2, 1891. Cy Young was the starting pitcher, and Zimmer was listed as one of the players. “That’s the cousin of our great-great-grandfather!” said Natalie.



Mom said, “That means he played on the same team as Cy Young, who was an exceptional pitcher who won more games than any other pitcher in history.”



Mason wanted to know more, so they searched a baseball almanac. Natalie saw a list of players, and Zimmer was a catcher in 1895, a year in which the team came in second. She also read that in 1899, the Spiders were baseball’s worst team.



Natalie checked the 1899 team, and there was Zimmer again. “Oh, well, you can’t win them all,” she said.



Mom then said, “Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.” They would have to find out more about the Cleveland Spiders tomorrow.




A Mason asked Mom, “Is there a famous baseball player in our family?”

B“I don’t know of anyone in my family, but maybe there was someone in your dad’s family,” she said, “so remember to ask about the photo when you talk to your dad tonight.”


C That night Dad called, and Mason was eager to talk to him. “Dad, we found a photo today of a baseball team that played in 1895. Did one of your relatives play on a team a long time ago?”

Read the excerpt from “W.E.B. Du Bois: Social Justice Leader.”

Du Bois graduated at the top of his high school class. With the help of his community, he graduated from Fisk University--a historically black university--in Nashville, Tennessee. He later went on to get a bachelor of arts and a doctorate from Harvard. He was the first African American student to earn a doctorate at Harvard.

Living in Nashville had a significant effect on Du Bois, because it allowed him to see firsthand the effects of racism and Jim Crow laws on African American culture. What he witnessed during his years at college helped form the basis of his life’s work in civil rights.

Which statement contains explicit information from the excerpt?

A) Du Bois was a very intelligent and hard-working student throughout his life.
B) Du Bois earned a bachelor’s degree and a doctorate from Harvard University.
C) Du Bois might not have attended college without his community’s support.
D) Du Bois led the way for other African American students to graduate from Harvard.

My heart leaps up when I behold
A rainbow in the sky:
So was it when my life began;
So is it now I am a man;
So be it when I shall grow old,
Or let me die!
The Child is father of the Man;
And I could wish my days to be
Bound each to each by natural piety.

You are to write an essay arguing the right OR wrong for stealing from (Papa) Esperanza's family. Write your essay after you've chosen a side - BANDIT or PAPA. Be sure to use evidence from the book to DEFEND your position (argument).
“Our land is alive, Esperanza,” said Papa, taking her small hand as they walked through the gentle slopes of the vineyard. Leafy green vines draped the arbors and the grapes were ready to drop. Esperanza was six years old and loved to walk with her papa through the winding rows, gazing up at him and watching his eyes dance with love for the land. “This whole valley breathes and lives,” he said, sweeping his arm toward the distant mountains that guarded them. “It gives us the grapes and then they welcome us.” He gently touched a wild tendril that reached into the row, as if it had been waiting to shake his hand. He picked up a handful of earth and studied it. “Did you know that when you lie down on the land, you can feel it breathe? That you can feel its heart beating?” “Papi, I want to feel it,” she said. “Come.” They walked to the end of the row, where the incline of the land formed a grassy swell. 2 Papa lay down on his stomach and looked up at her, patting the ground next to him. Esperanza smoothed her dress and knelt down. Then, like a caterpillar, she slowly inched flat next to him, their faces looking at each other. The warm sun pressed on one of Esperanza’s cheeks and the warm earth on the other. She giggled. “Shhh,” he said. “You can only feel the earth’s heartbeat when you are still and quiet.” She swallowed her laughter and after a moment said, “I can’t hear it, Papi.” “Aguántate tantito y la fruta caerá en tu mano,” he said. “Wait a little while and the fruit will fall into your hand. You must be patient, Esperanza.” She waited and lay silent, watching Papa’s eyes. And then she felt it. Softly at first. A gentle thumping. Then stronger. A resounding thud, thud, thud against her body. She could hear it, too. The beat rushing in her ears. Shoomp, shoomp, shoomp. 3 She stared at Papa, not wanting to say a word. Not wanting to lose the sound. Not wanting to forget the feel of the heart of the valley. She pressed closer to the ground, until her body was breathing with the earth’s. And with Papa’s. The three hearts beating together. She smiled at Papa, not needing to talk, her eyes saying everything. And his smile answered hers. Telling her that he knew she had felt it.
