Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before

And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, "Lenore!"
This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, "Lenore!"
Merely this and nothing more.

Read (or reread) these two paragraphs from a science course, looking for differences in how the ideas are organized and presented.

Light
Light passes through some materials without scattering. We call objects of this kind transparent. Clear glass and clear plastic wrap are two transparent objects. Other objects, such as wax paper or frosted glass, let some light through but scatter or block the rest. These objects are translucent. Then there are opaque objects, which do not let any light through. Opaque objects block all light. Instead, they produce shadows on a surface when an object prevents light from reaching that surface. You are an opaque object. So is a wooden door, a refrigerator, or a moose.

Sound
Sound travels in waves that are produced when something vibrates. Sound waves are invisible—we cannot see the movement of sound through the air with our eyes. Unlike light, sound needs a medium, something to travel through. Sounds can move through solids like walls or clothing, liquids such as water, or gases such as air. Walls, water, and air are all examples of different media through which sound travels.

Which answer does a good job of contrasting thetwo paragraphs?

Both paragraphs use lots of familiar images to help readers imagine how energy flows through things.

One paragraph introduces and defines basic terms while the other sticks with more basic information.

Both paragraphs focus on substances that an energy form might travel through.

One paragraph is about how light travels, and the other is about how sound travels.

The poem:
I, too, sing America.

I am the darker brother.
They send me to eat in the kitchen
When company comes,
But I laugh,
And eat well,
And grow strong.

Tomorrow,
I’ll be at the table
When company comes.
Nobody’ll dare
Say to me,
“Eat in the kitchen,”
Then.

Besides,
They’ll see how beautiful I am
And be ashamed—

I, too, am America.

What does this phrase mean?


It would be catastrophic if humanity’s greatest voyage were brought low by the mind’s tendency to wander when left to its own devices.

Read the excerpt from “Tools of the Spymaster."


The numbers that Major Tallmadge assigned to members of the Culper Ring were from a secret writing system he invented. He substituted digits for words that would be used in messages. "Long Island," for example, was 728, "arms" was 7, and "city" was 88. There was a number for each month, such as 341 for "January." He made four copies of his codes. He kept one and gave the others to Woodhull, Townsend, and General Washington. For words that did not have a number code, Tallmadge gave his agents a cipher. In a cipher, each letter in a message is replaced by another letter or a number.


The author’s purpose in this excerpt is to


teach readers about a code system used during the American Revolution.

persuade readers that ciphers are the greatest American invention.

argue that Major Tallmadge made a mistake in sharing copies of his codes.

compare the American codes for secret letters to the British codes.
