Before You Begin
Choose one of the Civil War topics listed below. Using the library and the Internet, find one research source about the topic. Your source should be at least five hundred words in length, or, if you select a print source, at least four to five pages.
Choose one topic:
a major Civil War battle
Civil War munitions and uniforms
the Emancipation Proclamation
the Gettysburg Address
After you find your source, you should meet with your teacher to get it approved before moving on to the next step.
Good readers rely on a set of skills to help them understand a text. You can use these strategies as you read the research source about the Civil War.
If possible, print a version of the text that you can write on. It is helpful to highlight key points and make notes in the margins. This strategy is called annotating.
When you find words or phrases that you do not know, do not skip over them. There is a series of steps you can take to understand the meaning of these words and phrases, so that you do not miss out on key ideas.
Context clues: Look at the words before and after the unknown word or phrase. Using the surrounding text, or context, can you find any clues to the meaning of the unknown word?
Using a dictionary: To find the specific meaning of a word, including helpful information like part of speech, word origin, and multiple meanings, you can use a dictionary. There are both print and online dictionaries available.
Using an encyclopedia: Some words or phrases may have an important historical or contextual meaning behind them, especially in a social studies or history text. In this case, an encyclopedia is an excellent resource. For example, you would not want to simply use a dictionary to look up George Washington; in fact, an encyclopedia would provide you with a clearer meaning.
After annotating the text, go back and read the text one more time. You might notice new details that you missed the first time.
After you have finished reading the text a second time and have defined any unknown words, jot down some notes about the key points or ideas. It can be helpful to write a quick summary of the source in order to prepare you for your next step: writing a report.

Answer:
The Gettysburg address
On November 19, 1863, in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, Abraham Lincoln presents his most famous speech as president. This speech was presented at Union Cemetery after the Battle of Gettysburg, and it was intended to help those soldiers who died, however, it accomplished much more. The Gettysburg address summarizes everything that the United States was striving for during that time.
The Gettysburg address represents what our nation attains for yet also shows how the United States holds a magnificent country. His speech lasted only nearly 270 words long in ten sentences. It took him around three minutes to read the address. The beginning of the address introduces the tone for the message Lincoln was seeking to convey. In his speech, he declares, "Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, on this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal." In this quote, he is proposing to declare that this country is established upon the principle of equality.
Another point Lincoln emphasizes in his speech is that the events of the war must not be overlooked. He states “That we here highly resolve these dead shall not have died in vain; that the nation shall have a new birth of freedom and that the government by the people by the people for the people, shall not perish from the earth”. Abraham is striving to show the people regarding the union including the rest of the country that we ought to defend those principles that these men upon the battlefield are fighting for, and we can not allow them to die in vain.
To conclude, the Gettysburg Address stays one of the most powerful speeches from its time and is still recognized around the United States today. Lincoln was capable to deliver a message of hope and courage when it was difficult to have either of them. This address can represent everything we attain as a country and it will always remain remembered as one of the greatest speeches presented by a president.

Excerpt from Stuff Matters
By Mark Miodownik
In the absence of copper, gold, and meteoric iron, our ancestors’ tools during the Stone Age were made of flint, wood, and bone. Anyone who has ever tried to make anything with these kinds of tools knows how limiting they are: if you hit a piece of wood it either splinters, cracks, or snaps. The same is true of rock or bone. Metals are fundamentally different from these other materials because they can be hammered into shape: they flow, they are malleable. Not only that, they get stronger when you hit them; you can harden a blade just by hammering it. And you can reverse the process simply by putting metal in a fire and heating it up, which will cause it to get softer. The first people to discover these properties ten thousand years ago had found a material that was almost as hard as a rock but behaved like a plastic and was almost infinitely reusable. In other words, they had discovered the perfect material for tools, and in particular cutting tools like axes, chisels, and razors. This ability of metals to transform from a soft to a hard material must have seemed like magic to our ancient ancestors.
***
In 1961 Professor Richmond from Oxford University discovered a pit that had been dug by the Romans in AD 89. It contained 763,840 small two-inch nails, 85,128 medium nails, 25,088 large nails, and 1,344 extra-large sixteen-inch nails. The hoard was of iron and steel and not gold, which most people would have found bitterly disappointing. But not Professor Richmond. Why, he asked himself, would a Roman legion bury seven tons of iron and steel? The legion had been occupying the advance headquarters of Agricola in a place called Inchtuthil in Scotland. This was at the outer reaches of the Roman Empire, and their mission was to protect its border from what they saw as the savage tribes who threatened it: the Celts. The legion of five thousand men occupied the region for six years before retreating and, in the process, abandoning their fort. They made great efforts to leave behind nothing that could help their enemies. They smashed all food and drink containers and burned the fort to the ground. But they weren’t satisfied with this. In the ashes were the steel nails that had held the fort together, and they were far too valuable to be left to the tribes that had driven them out. Iron and steel were the materials that enabled the Romans to build aqueducts, ships, and swords; they allowed them to engineer an empire. Leaving the nails to their enemies would have been as useful as leaving a cache of weapons, so they buried them in a pit before marching south.
Based on the excerpt, the reader can infer that Professor Richmond viewed the discovery of the Roman pit as –
A) Fascinating
B)Disappointing
C) Wasteful
D) Intelligent
Answer:
A) Fascinating
Explanation:
According to the excerpt from Stuff Matters
by Mark Miodownik, the history of metals is discussed and how their discovery helped shape mankind and how he used tools. Professor Richmond discovered a pit dug by the Romans in AD 89 which contained buried nails meant to be kept out of reach of from the Celts.
Based on the excerpt, the reader can infer that Professor Richmond viewed the discovery of the Roman pit as fascinating because he thought it interesting that they valued the nails so much to keep them out of the reach of their enemies.

Write a ' I have a dream one day' speech about any topic and it has to be 4/5 paragraphs
Answer: I Have A Dream Speech by Martin Luther King Jr. Paraphrased
Five years ago, the good American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Declaration of Emancipation. This head of the judiciary came as a great ray of redemption to the millions of Black slaves who had been sealed in the fires of wiping oppression. It was a glorious daybreak to end the long night of their imprisonment.
But 100 yrs later, the Slave is still not free. One hundred years old, the existence of the Negro is still unfortunately segregation and the chains of seclusion and the chains of racism. One century later, the Black lives on a secluded island of hardship in the middle of a vast ocean of material prosperity. A hundred yrs later...
The Colored is now languishing in the shadows of Society today and finding himself in exile in his own country. And then we came here today to sensationalize a shameful state of affairs. In a way, we've traveled to the capital of our country to pay a check.
Because when founders of our country penned the glorious words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they signed a promise note upon whom all American was to become heir. This note was a pledge that all men-yes, men of color as well as white men-would be granted the inalienable rights to life, freedom and the pursuit of happiness.
It is now clear that United states has defaulted on this promising note as far as its people are concerned. Rather than upholding this sacred responsibility, America has given the Colored people a poor check, a check that has come back marked a lack of money.

The Rainy Day
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
The day is cold, and dark, and dreary;
It rains, and the wind is never weary;
The vine still clings to the moldering wall,
But at every gust the dead leaves fall,
And the day is dark and dreary.
My life is cold, and dark, and dreary;
It rains, and the wind is never weary;
My thoughts still cling to the moldering Past,
But the hopes of youth fall thick in the blast,
And the days are dark and dreary.
Be still, sad heart! and cease repining;
Behind the clouds is the sun still shining;
Thy fate is the common fate of all,
Into each life some rain must fall,
Some days must be dark and dreary.

Some plants such as orchid plant or strangler fig have roots above the ground, what do we call them? How do they get water to grow?
Answer:
1. They are called AERIAL ROOTS
2. Their aerial roots absorb water from the air and other plants.
Explanation:
Roots are generally used for anchorage and absorption in plants, however, they do not always grow below ground level as seen in most plants. Roots called AERIAL ROOTS grow into the air above the ground as observed in plants such as epiphytic orchids and strangler fig.
These plants i.e. orchids and figs get water to grow with the aid of the AERIAL ROOTS they possess. Aerial roots in orchids absorb water from the air while those in strangler figs absorb it from the plants they entangle.

Elaborate on answer.
Answer:
Lord Capulet changes from a considerate, sensible father in act one to a brash, overbearing guardian in act three. Initially, Lord Capulet wants Juliet to make her own decision regarding her future husband and believes that she is too young to get married.

How does the "Life in the wild" contribute to the author's argument in "Excerpt from Marine Mammals in Captivity"?
Incomplete question. I assumed you are referring to the article "Excerpt from Marine Mammals in Captivity" by The Humane Society of the United States.
Explanation:
In that section, the author provides real-life examples that back his claims about why animals should be taken from their natural wild habitat.
For example, the author stated, "The very nature of these animals makes them uniquely unsuited to confinement." He further continued by stating how Whales and Dolphins naturally love to travel long distances every day, "they are always aware, and always moving."
The author made a lasting point by adding, "Understanding this, it is difficult to imagine the tragedy of life in no more than a tiny swimming pool." With such expression the author no doubt causes the reader to think about the sudden changes experienced by these living organisms.

Using at least three quotes from Act IV of Romeo and Juliet as evidence, describe the internal conflict felt by Juliet before she takes the Friar's vial of dubious poison. Ex. "A quote from Act IV of Romeo and Juliet" - This quote shows the internal conflict of Juliet before she takes the poison because.... "A quote from Act IV of Romeo and Juliet" - This quote shows the internal conflict of Juliet before she takes the poison because.... "A quote from Act IV of Romeo and Juliet" - This quote shows the internal conflict of Juliet before she takes the poison because.... Then in 3-4 sentences explain what you would have done in Juliet's situation. Would you have followed the Friar's plan? Would you have simply run away?
Answer and Explanation:
"Juliet- Oh! Close the door soon! And after you have closed it, come and cry with me too. There is no hope, no medicine, no help." This quote shows Juliet's internal conflict because she is on the eve of her marriage to Paris, and she is already married to Romeo.
"Juliet - Oh! Tell me to throw myself off the battlements of that tower, but in marriage to the count do not speak; or invite me to walk on the roads of robbers, or to hide in nests of snakes; tie me up with bears roars; in a ram you shut me up at night, full of human bones, [...] "This quote shows Juliet's internal conflict, because it shows that she would rather suffer than marry Paris.
"Juliet - [...] What if, after being in the grave, I wake up, without Romeo arriving to save me? Oh horrible case! I will not be asphyxiated inside the grave, whose filthy mouth does not breathe healthy air, and, thus, suffocated dying without my Romeo coming? Or if I live, it will not be very plausible that that image of blackness and death, associated with the dread of the point itself - a sepulcher, a ram where there are hundreds of my ancestors; since a little bloody Tebaldo, decomposing in his white shroud [...] "This quote shows Juliet's internal conflict because she fears that Romeo will not vape it or be afraid to enter the tomb, leaving her suffocated dying , slowly.
In Juliet's place, I would not have followed through with the Friar's plan, nor would I have run away. Since this was a completely dead end situation, I would tell my family that I had already married Romeo, that the marriage was already finished and there was nothing more to be done.
