First Passage: The Northern Red Oak

The northern red oak is a grand-looking tree. It can grow as high as 75 feet tall. The fall season brings shorter days and cooler temperatures. Fall also brings changes to the leaves of the northern red oak. Leaves turn from green to shades of yellow, orange, and red, which is an amazing sight. It makes the northern red oak an eye-catching stand out among other trees in the oak family.
In summer, the gray rough branches of the northern red oak grow long and wide. This is the season when branches can become overly long and heavy. The weight of the branches' leaves adds even more pounds. If the growth of the tree is not managed, the entire appearance of the tree can be changed. Early trimming helps groom the tree and keeps it from looking like a rounded triangle by summer's end.
Both the size and the shape of the northern red oak's leaves are especially interesting. It is easy to find leaves that are larger than a man's hand. They often have 8 or more pointed fingers. That makes northern red oak leaves look like large, flattened evergreen trees.
Residents in the Midwest especially enjoy the beauty of their northern red oaks in October. A common sight is to see people walking or relaxing under them. They gaze up, watching the colored leaves dance in the cool fall breeze, knowing that winter will soon come to take the leaves away.

Second Passage: The Hardy Live Oak

The live oak tree is one of the toughest trees found in the United States. It is not a tall tree. It grows only 30 to 40 feet high. But its branches are broad and strong. The branches make up for the tree's rather short height. How? The branches stretch out from the trunk like thick arms on a giant. The leaves on the branches are simple. They are oval in shape. They glisten in the sun. Most importantly, live oak leaves are always there. Live oaks stay green all year round.
The live oak is also a fast growing tree. It is often planted in the lawns of new houses. This lets people living in the house have shade in just a few years. However, the owner of the tree needs to keep the lower branches trimmed. If the lower branches are not trimmed, over time the lower tree limbs will grow downward toward the ground. These branches will seem to almost slither like a snake. In time, they will be only inches above the ground. They will also spread out over the lawn for up to 25 feet from the trunk of the tree.
The live oak tree is popular for a very important reason. It can live in very hot weather. Strong sunlight does not kill it. People in the southern United States see so many live oaks that they no longer really notice them. Live oak trees just blend into the landscape. Yet, live oaks contribute to the landscape in many ways. They provide shade in the summer heat. They also provide food for many animals. Each live oak tree can produce thousands of acorns. Squirrels are just one type of animal that scurries to feast on the little brown nuts. Live oaks are certainly a treasure in hot places with harsh sunny weather.

Scene 1

Princess is swimming in the ocean, singing.

Narrator: Once, long ago, there lived a beautiful princess on the island of Hawai'i. She loved the ocean, and every morning, she swam in the warm water. While she swam, she sang songs about her love for the deep, blue water and her gratitude for the gentle waves.

Princess: Oh, how I love the ocean. I never want to live anywhere else. If I could not see the beauty of the blue water or hear the sound of the waves, my heart would break.

Princess sees a huge shark fin approaching. Frightened, she swims for shore.

Narrator: One day, the king of the sharks heard the princess's song. Enchanted by her voice and her love for the ocean, he decided that he must meet her. Seeing how frightened she was of his true form, the shark king transformed himself into a human, with a magical cloak of scales in all the colors of the sea.

Princess watches in amazement as a prince in a cloak of many-colored scales steps out of the water and offers her his hand.

Shark King: Dearest Princess, I am so pleased to finally meet you. I have heard your songs many times, and I, too, love the ocean. It is my home.

Princess: Please, come with me to meet my family. They will be amazed to see you.

Exit princess and shark king.

Scene 2

Princess sits by a deep pool on the beach. A large home built into a cliff face is behind her. She holds a baby on her lap. In the pool, a large shark circles.

Narrator: After some time, the shark king and the princess were married. They lived together happily, and they had a son. Sadly, the enchantment that made the shark king human could not last forever.

Shark king emerges from the pool in human form. He removes his cloak and lays it at the princess's feet.

Shark King: My dearest one, I must return home to the ocean now. I will leave this magical cloak for our son. Whenever he wears it, he will be safe from all harm. One day, he will come to find me in his true home, under the waves.

Shark king jumps back into the pool and disappears down into its depths. The princess wraps the baby in the cloak.

Scene 3

Young man with a birthmark in the shape of shark teeth on his back is hiding behind some trees, listening to fishermen talk.

Narrator: The shark prince grew up. He became a strong young man who looked just like the other young men of the village, except for the strange birthmark on his back.

Fisherman 1: I hear there is good fishing out at the cove. I will head there tomorrow morning at first light.

Fisherman 2: I will join you! Be sure you don't mention where you are going to anyone else. It will mean more fish for us!

Fisherman 1: I won't tell a soul. You must have said something last time. There were hardly any fish left.

Narrator: The prince often listened to where the village fishermen planned to go, and he would always get there first to eat his fill of the delicious fish. With his father's cloak around his shoulders, the prince could transform into a shark whenever he chose. The fishermen were becoming suspicious.

Exit fishermen. Prince creeps down to the water's edge and wraps the cloak around his shoulders before jumping into the sea. A shark fin can be seen heading out into the water. Enter fishermen.

Fisherman 1: I knew it! That trickster boy has been stealing our fish.

Fisherman 2: It's not right, using magic to rob honest people of food and a living.

Fisherman 1: He must go.

Scene 4

Fishermen and other villagers are crowded around the pool outside the princess's house. The princess and her son stand in front of them.

Princess: It is time for my son to join his father in the ocean.

Prince: I'm very sorry for all the trouble I've caused.

Villagers: Back to the ocean with you!

Prince: I promise to never take more than my share of the fish again.

Prince hugs his mother goodbye and wraps the cloak around his shoulders. He jumps into the pool and swims down so deep that no one can see him. Far off, out in the ocean, a huge shark fin can be seen bobbing above the water. Soon, a smaller fin joins it.

Narrator: The shark prince joined his father in the ocean, and to this day, the sharks never take more than their share of the fish.

From Aesop’s Fables
The Fox and the Woodcutter
5. A FOX, running before the hounds, came across a Woodcutter felling an oak and begged him to show him a safe hiding-place. The Woodcutter advised him to take shelter in his own hut, so the Fox crept in and hid himself in a corner. The huntsman soon came up with his hounds and inquired of the Woodcutter if he had seen the Fox. He declared that he had not seen him, and yet pointed, all the time he was speaking, to the hut where the Fox lay hidden. The huntsman took no notice of the signs, but believing his word, hastened forward in the chase. As soon as they were well away, the Fox departed without taking any notice of the Woodcutter: whereon he called to him and reproached him, saying, "You ungrateful fellow, you owe your life to me, and yet you leave me without a word of thanks." The Fox replied, "Indeed, I should have thanked you fervently if your deeds had been as good as your words, and if your hands had not been traitors to your speech."

The Lorax was written in 1972; Have the environmental issues in the story changed in comparison to the environmental concerns of today? If so, how? If not, why do you think this is?
What was the biggest threat to sustainability in the Lorax story? What is the biggest threat facing our world today?
Was it harmful when the Once-ler cut down the first tree? Defend your opinion.
The Once-ler says that he didn't mean to cause any harm. Does not meaning to cause harm make you less responsible? How do you take responsibility for the things you have harmed? Do we ever have a responsibility to repair the harm someone else has caused?
5. Do you think that if we take the seed and follow the Once-ler's new advice that the Lorax and his friends will come back?
6. In the beginning of the story, the Once-ler claims that everyone needs Thneeds, but at the end he claims that what everyone really needs is Truffula trees. These opinions relate to classic arguments related to a healthy environment and a healthy economy. In your opinion what do you think is more important the economy or the environment?

Read the excerpts from the two articles on sea otters.

Article A

Sea otters live in the chilly Northern Pacific Ocean and spend almost all their lives in the water. They sleep, hunt, groom, mate, and give birth in the ocean, where they float on their backs on the water's surface. Adult sea otters spend more than a third of their day grooming their fur. This isn't for vanity; it's for survival. Unlike most sea mammals, sea otters do not have an inner layer of fat to protect them from the cold water. These creatures rely on their dense fur to protect them from the low temperatures. Sea otters have one of the thickest furs in all of the animal kingdom. An adult sea otter's coat can contain up to 1 billion individual hairs! These hairs form a protective, waterproof layer, which traps air and provides insulation. It is crucial that a sea otter's fur is kept clean to maintain this insulating layer between the water and their skin.

Article B

Oil spills from off-shore drilling and shipping are also an immense threat to sea otters. Sea otters are dependent on their thick fur to keep them warm. Its unique structure traps air that insulates their bodies from the cold water. When an otter's fur is covered in oil, it can no longer keep the otter warm. This can cause hypothermia and even death. If the otter tries to clean its fur, it will ingest the oil, which is poisonous. In 1989, the Exxon Valdez hit a reef in Alaska. The ship spilled over ten million gallons of oil into the ocean. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service believes that anywhere from 4,000 to 10,000 otters died due to this oil spill.

How are the authors' points of view different in these excerpts?

Article A focuses on the importance of the sea otter grooming its fur, but Article B shows that the sea otter's grooming habits endanger it when the water is not clean.
Article A explains that adult sea otters spend more than a third of their day grooming, but in Article B, the author explains that adults spend most of their day caring for their young.
Article A highlights the different reasons the sea otter's fur must be clean, and Article B highlights the actual process sea otters use to keep their thick coats clean and healthy.
Article A focuses on how the sea otter's fur can harm the animal, while Article B focuses on how the sea otter's fur can protect it from oil spills and other water pollution.

Part B
Select two sentences from Passage 3 that provide relevant support for
the answer in Part A.

"'Bats make sounds, listen to echoes, and then see objects,' notes
Simmons." (paragraph 9)

"'We now know that bats have a method of doing synthetic aperture
sonar while flying that not only determines the distance and direction
of all the objects in a scene, but also reconstructs one specific
object's shape.'" (paragraph 9)

"In Simmons' experiments, the bats are trained to differentiate
sounds with the time separation of those sounds shortened to test
the bats' response." (paragraph 10)

"Today's electronic sonar processing can differentiate between echoes
about 12 millionths of a second apart." (paragraph 11)

"Bats have it down to 2 to 3 millionths of a second." (paragraph 11)
