1.Read the excerpt from the story Penguin Parade: An Antarctic Adventure and listen to the audio clip:

We boarded a flight from Orlando, Florida to Buenos Aires in Argentina.



We would then board a ship that would take us from Argentina to the remote Snow Hill Island in the Weddell Sea. Mom slept for the whole plane ride, but I stayed awake and researched penguins that live in Antarctica on my phone. I hadn't realized how many penguins didn't live in cold areas like Antarctica. Apparently, I wasn't the only one on the plane interested in reading about animals. The boy sitting across the aisle from me was reading a book about sharks, which was pretty neat.

How does the audio clip contribute to the tone of the story? (2 points)
The audio clip explains why the characters took an airplane instead of taking a boat.
The audio clip helps the reader feel as though they are flying with the characters.
The audio clip makes the reader scared for the safety of all the characters.

Read the excerpt from the story Penguin Parade: An Antarctic Adventure and look at the image:

The emperor penguins laid their eggs in early spring, and the eggs hatched in late summer. There were several locations where they gathered, and Mom and I researched them all. We decided that Snow Hill Island would be the best place to start taking pictures. There was a large rookery, or penguin nesting area, there, and it appeared to be the best place for Mom to get some great photos of the penguin chicks. (2 points)

How would the meaning of the excerpt change if the image was removed and replaced with this audio clip?


The focus would be on the character relationship rather than the fact that they are in a cold location.
The focus would be on the mother and daughter taking pictures, rather than the cuteness of the baby penguin.
The focus would be on the type of camera the character is using rather than adorable baby penguins.
The focus would be on the weather rather than on the relationship between the mother and daughter characters.

Read the excerpt from the story Penguin Parade: An Antarctic Adventure and listen to the audio clip:

When the day of our departure arrived, I hugged my dog, Bruce, goodbye at the kennel before jumping into the car.



On the way to the airport, I drummed my fingers against the car window. I couldn't sit still. I was so excited for our trip.

How would this image add meaning to the story if it were included instead of the audio clip? (2 points)

girl hugging dog

The image would show the reader that Bruce is not actually sad, but worried.
The image would add meaning by showing how sad the narrator is at having to leave Bruce.
The image would add emotion by showing Bruce sitting in the kennel, watching his owner leave.
The image would show the bond between the narrator and Bruce, which adds more emotion to the story.

Why the Cat Always Lands on Its Feet

A gentle magician was traveling in a forest. He’d been traveling forever, it seemed. So when he spotted a tree with gnarled roots, he had to lie down among them to rest. He had just snuggled in and closed his weary eyes when a great serpent slithered out of a thicket. Had the magician noticed the snake in the undergrowth, he would have turned it into a harmless stick.

When the snake saw the sleeping man at the foot of the tree, it coiled in anger. “I will kill him!” it hissed. The snake recalled that this was the very man who had surprised it sometime earlier, just when the snake was about to dine on a tabby cat for breakfast. “Flee for your life!” the magician had cried, and the cat had scrambled up a tree just in time.

The serpent slithered closer now. It hissed its war cry as it remembered the magician’s meddling. “You will be my breakfast,” the deadly troublemaker spat, its forked tongue testing the air for a sniff of its sleeping quarry. “And when I swallow you down, you will be sorry you ever interfered.”

Now, it just so happened that the same breakfast cat had noticed the conflict from the branches high above the sleeping magician. “Arrrr,” she snarled, her little body quivering in fright when she heard the serpent’s hiss. She was slight compared to the enormous serpent. But as she watched the evil one glide toward the man, the memory of the magician’s kindness to her transformed her fear to anger. That snake would pay for preying on helpless victims! The tabby sprang for the coiled serpent like a bolt of striped lightning!

Flames shot from the serpent’s eyes as it struck wildly again and again. But the tiny cat clawed and bit with such passion that the creature soon lay dead.

The magician awoke with the snake’s dying hiss. He found the injured cat lying nearby and guessed what she had done. “Little cat,” he said, “in honor of your bravery you shall always have a home with man. And because you leaped from the high tree to kill the deadly serpent, you shall leap where you wish and always land upon your feet.” Part A

Read the excerpt from chapter 6 of The Travels of Marco Polo.

Now that I have described the ships in which merchants voyage to and from India, let us change the subject and pass on to India itself.
