A Short Story by Langston Hughes BUILD BACKGROUND

USE READING SKILLS

Social Context “Thank You, M’am” tells the story of a boy who tries to steal and is surprised by the reaction of his victim. These two characters are typical of Hughes’s literary characters. They portray the joys and miseries of ordinary African Americans living in Harlem, a section of New York City. Their dialect reflects the language of the common people.

Determine the Importance of Details Some details that appear in selections may be more important than others.

These details provide the reader with a better understanding of a character, situation, and/or place. As you read the following selection, note any details that seem significant to the story and write them down or mark the page in some way. It might be helpful to note how the detail adds to the story.

Reader’s Context Have you or someone you know been given a “second chance” to right a wrong? What lesson was learned from this experience?

ANALYZE LITERATURE: Character A character is an individual that takes part in the action of a literary work. “When I get through with you, sir, you are going to remember Mrs. Luella Bates Washington Jones,” declares one of the characters in “Thank You, M’am.” Memorable characters give you clues to their personalities through what they say and do. You also learn more about a character through what the narrator or other characters say about them.

SET PURPOSE As you read, pay attention not only to what you are told directly about the characters, but also what you can gather from other clues. Consider what the characters say and do, as well as what they perceive about one another.

MEET THE AUTHOR Langston Hughes (1902–1967) was born in Joplin, Missouri, and grew up in Lawrence, Kentucky, and Cleveland, Ohio. He came from a family of abolitionists, people who fought for the end of slavery in the United States. Hughes started writing at an early age and published poetry and fiction in his high school magazine.

After attending Columbia University for one year, he worked at a series of odd jobs while developing his skills as a writer. He then attended Lincoln University in Pennsylvania and graduated in 1929. By that time, he had published two books of poetry and had become known as a versatile and gifted poet. Hughes eventually settled in Harlem, New York, and wrote several poetry and short story collections as well as a novel and an autobiography.

GUIDED READING

The standards establish a “staircase” of increasing complexity in what students must be able to read so that all students are ready for the demands of college- and career-level reading no later than the end of high school.

• EMC’s unique scaffolded approach incorporating gradual release of responsibility promotes the progressive development of reading comprehension so that students advancing through the grades are able to read independently and gain more from whatever they read.

WRITING Writing Workshop

▼

T he ability to write logical arguments based on substantive claims, sound reasoning, and relevant evidence is a cornerstone of the writing standards, with opinion writing—a basic form of argument—extending down into the earliest grades.

• Mirrors & Windows persuasive writing assignments clearly ask writers to support their arguments and opinions with convincing, reasonable evidence.

• Persuasive/argumentative, as well as narrative, expository/ informative, and descriptive writing activities are provided throughout the program: — post-reading Writing Option assignments — in-depth Writing Workshops at the end of each unit — additional writing workshops in Exceeding the Standards: Writing supplement Research—both short, focused projects (such as those commonly required in the workplace) and longer term in depth research—is emphasized throughout the standards but most prominently in the writing strand.

• Mirrors & Windows offers numerous short research writing options in post-reading activities and includes a formal in-depth Research Paper Writing Workshop in every grade level.

Persuasive Writing

Assignment: Write a persuasive essay in which I present and support a clearly stated opinion.

Persuasive Essay

Goal: Persuade my audience to accept or act on my opinion.

Strategy: Present clear reasons for my opinion, support my reasons, and anticipate and address counterarguments.

Reading and Writing In this unit, you read several pieces of persuasive writing. Topics ranged from personal advice, such as letting oneself be “found,” to political issues, such as bearing responsibility for life in a democracy. No matter what the topic, writing that presents an opinion or argument is persuasive writing.

Standardized tests will often ask you to write persuasively. You will also need persuasive skills in other areas of your life—from getting what you want from a brother or sister to achieving success in the workplace.

▼

In this workshop, you will learn how to write a persuasive essay. You will present a clear opinion in a thesis or opinion statement and back it up with reasons and support. You will also anticipate and address counterarguments, which are arguments that oppose your own. The following summary shows a typical persuasive essay assignment. It includes requirements and standards that might not always be stated in an assignment but that you should consider when writing a persuasive essay.

Writing Rubric: My persuasive essay should include the following:

• an introduction that clearly states my opinion

• reasons for my opinion • support for my reasons • thoughtful answers to counterarguments • a conclusion with a call to action

What Great Writers Do Mawi Asgedom came to the United States from Ethiopia. In this passage, he reflects on his journey and his mother’s wise advice. What is his opinion? How does he support and explain it?

My mother’s advice in childhood was to pull the covers over my head—that had been the easy part. But her later advice meant, I now realize, that I should know when to pull the covers down and stick my neck out. That’s the hard part. Too many of us go through life with the covers over our heads. We want to reach out, but we fear to make ourselves vulnerable. And we are also busy....We race through a world of demands. And then we ask ourselves almost helplessly, “What can we do as individuals?”

SPEAKING & LISTENING ▼

The standards require that students gain, evaluate, and present increasingly complex information, ideas, and evidence through listening and speaking as well as through media.

• Each unit includes one Speaking and Listening Workshop that includes step-by-step instructions and speaking and listening evaluation rubrics.

SPEAKING & LISTENING WORKSHOP Prepare a Multimedia Presentation You’ve heard the expression “A picture is worth a thousand words.” This tends to be especially true when it comes to presenting information. In the past, there was little a person could do to enhance a presentation visually, aside from using posters, charts, graphs, and overhead projectors. Technology has made it possible to present information in colorful and compelling ways. In this workshop, you will prepare and deliver an informative presentation using a combination of text, sound, pictures, animation, and video. A multimedia presentation uses a variety of media, a plural form of medium referring to a system of communication, information, or entertainment.

Presentation Tip

As you are choosing details for your outline, think about the types of multimedia that would work well with those details.

1. Develop your topic

Select a topic you know well. Make an outline with at least three main subtopics.

Then brainstorm details about each subtopic. You may also need to do some research.

S P E AK I N G & L I S T E N I N G W O R K S H O P L E A D A G R O UP DI S C US S I O N O R M E E T I NG

Soccer I. History of the game A. Origins B. Development C. Modern soccer

2. Create multimedia elements

Decide on a theme or design for your presentation, and use that theme or design throughout. For example, if you are doing a presentation on the destruction of the rainforest, you might want to use backgrounds and fonts that resemble the jungle. Give your pictures, photos, video, charts, and written materials a similar look and feel. Use media to emphasize key points.

Avoid including too much text on a slide or an image.

3. Rehearse

Practice giving your presentation as you operate your equipment. Make sure all components are clearly audible and visible and that the room will accommodate both your needs and those of your audience.

4. Make the presentation

Do not rush through your presentation. Remember to speak clearly and loudly and to look at your audience.

Allow time at the end for audience questions.

Speaking and Listening Rubric Your presentation will be evaluated on these elements:

Content and Development

✔ ❏ ✔ ❏ ✔ ❏ ✔ ❏

clear topic and goal for presenting the topic effective use of multimedia elements logical organization of ideas appropriate amount of information

Delivery

✔ ❏ ✔ ❏

appropriate volume, enunciation, and pace

✔ ❏

competent use of multimedia technology

1. Understand the Tasks of Group Leader/Facilitator As a group leader/facilitator, you probably will play several roles. Understanding each function, and feeling at ease performing it, will benefit you and the other group members:

effective use of eye contact and audience interaction

SPEAKING & LISTENING WORKSHOP

0872-0885_Lit3eG10_U05_4_End.ind873 873

A small-group discussion or meeting might contain between three and fifteen people, interacting in a face-to-face situation, who have a sense of group identity. At some small-group sessions, participants meet one or more times to discuss a particular project, issue, or event—for example, to plan a volunteer effort sponsored by the class. Meetings of this type are sometimes called ad hoc sessions. At other smallgroup sessions, members of a club or similar organization meet, usually on a regular schedule, to conduct club business, such as holding elections.

Group leaders, sometimes called facilitators, have the task of keeping the discussion flowing smoothly.

Professional facilitators, such as social workers, may have special training in conducting discussion groups.

For instance, a facilitator would reduce tensions among group members in ways that can help members learn to handle interpersonal conflict. As a student leader or facilitator, you might sometimes find yourself encouraging shy participants to join the discussion or tactfully discouraging other group members from taking over the meeting.

●

The primary role of the leader/facilitator is to direct the work of the group or the ad hoc session.

If you are the leader/facilitator of a club meeting, your tasks might include introducing topics for discussion; calling on members to speak; ensuring that members with certain responsibilities do their jobs (for example, that the secretary keeps minutes of the meeting or that the treasurer gives a financial report); making sure that the procedures for voting on motions or electing club officers are conducted fairly; following the agenda, or list of tasks to be done or topics to be covered at the meeting; and adjourning, or closing, the meeting.

If you are leading or facilitating an ad hoc session, your chief task is likely to be keeping the discussion on track so that the group can achieve its goal.

●

Regardless of the type of meeting group you are leading or facilitating, try to maintain a sense of order and purpose. As gatekeeper, you keep communication open and moving ahead, by reminding participants of the focus of the session. As harmonizer, you help resolve conflicts or reduce tension between group members.

2. Learn How to Work with Less Cooperative Group Members In general, participants will cooperate to make the discussion productive. Some participants, however, may choose to play destructive roles. As a leader/facilitator, you might encourage these participants to turn their negative contributions into constructive ones.

Disruptive types include the joker, who distracts the group by engaging in horseplay; the dominator, who tries to control the group for his or her own advantage; the blocker, who belittles the ideas of others; and the deserter, who withdraws from the group and refuses to participate.

3. Serve as a Role Model for Group Members Most groups have norms (unwritten rules) or written rules governing appropriate behavior for their members. For example, participants are expected to arrive promptly, be courteous to each other, and follow through on tasks they have offered to do. As leader/ facilitator, you may function as a role model for other members, so be sure you are familiar with and respectful of the group’s written and unwritten rules.

SPEAKING & LISTENING RUBRIC

Your role as group leader/facilitator will be evaluated on these elements: Performance as Conductor of Meetings ❏ You conduct the group’s work by making sure the group stays focused on the topic or agenda and by ensuring that everyone has a chance to speak and that no one monopolizes the discussion.

Behavior as Role Model for Other Members ❏ You function as a role model for other members by

being familiar with and respectful of the group’s written and unwritten rules.

SPEAKING & LISTENING WORKSHOP

4

An important focus of the speaking and listening standards is academic discussion in one-on-one, small-group, and whole-class settings.

• In addition to the formal presentations in Speaking and Listening Workshops, many discussion opportunities are also provided in post-reading extension activities.

▼

A formal outline framework shows the most important and least important relationships among the topics and subtopics. Use an outline like the one below, which is about the game of soccer, to organize the ideas for your presentation.

LANGUAGE VOCABULARY & SPELLING

▼

The standards expect that students will grow their vocabularies through a mix of conversations, direct instruction, and reading.

The standards recognize that students must be able to use formal English in their writing and speaking but that they must also be able to make informed, skillful choices among the many ways to express themselves through language.

• Vocabulary & Spelling Workshops and Grammar & Style Workshops are integrated within the literature units to extend the use of language skills across reading, writing, speaking, and listening.

▼

Literal and Figurative Meanings

Many words and expressions have both literal and figurative meanings. A literal meaning is the concrete or common meaning of a word. A figurative meaning suggests a meaning that goes beyond the literal or concrete meaning of a word. A figure of speech is meant to be understood imaginatively instead of literally. Many writers, especially poets, use figures of speech to create vivid, memorable images and to help readers see and understand things in new ways.

EXAMPLES

literal meaning: A graceful hawk soared across the sky. figurative meaning: The image of the graceful hawk soared in her heart.

In the first example, the hawk is literally soaring, or flying high. In the second example, the image of the hawk makes her feel elated; it is not literally flying in her heart.

GR AM M AR & STYL E PRE C I S E L A NGUA GE Understand the Concept

Apply the Skill

One of James Agee’s goals in writing Let Us Now Praise Famous Men was to achieve the effect of photography through the sounds and meanings of words.

One of the ways in which he achieved this goal was by using precise language.

For example, rather than simply writing “As the mother carried the child, the child looked about at his surroundings,” Agee used vivid language to make this scene come to life:

Identify Dull Nouns, Verbs, and Modifiers Copy the following sentences on your paper. Then evaluate each one and underline the dull, vague nouns, verbs, and modifiers it contains.

“She carried her youngest child, his knees locked simian across her, his light hands at her neck, and his erected head, hooded with night, next to hers, swiveled mildly upon the world’s globe, a periscope.”

Your writing will be more effective and interesting if you use words that show your readers exactly what you mean. Precise nouns give readers a clear picture of who or what is involved in a sentence: EXAMPLES

Original sentence The people made noise.

Revised sentence The crowd made an uproar.

Colorful verbs indicate the specific action in a sentence: EXAMPLES

Original sentence He took the pitcher and drank the cool water.

Revised sentence He grabbed the pitcher and gulped the cool water.

1. The Dust Bowl was caused by a big drought that dried up the dirt of the Great Plains.

2. Strong winds then blew all the dried dust into big, dark clouds.

3. The clouds dimmed the skies above Chicago, and dirt fell from the sky, piling up in city streets.

4. Because the Great Plains farmland was no longer productive, farm families lost their money and homes and went west to find work.

5. The Dust Bowl was one of the causes of the Great Depression, a time of economic hardship that hurt many Americans’ dreams of economic success.

Metaphors, similes, idioms, and personification are examples of figures of speech. Metaphors and similes compare one thing with another. Similes do so by using the word like or as; metaphors do not.

Idioms are commonly acknowledged metaphors used by speakers of a language. Idioms differ from slang in that they survive over the years; slang terms go in and out of use. Personification is a figure of speech in which something not human—an animal, object, place, or idea—is given human qualities and characteristics.

EXAMPLES

metaphor: Your smile melts my heart. simile: My love is like a red, red rose. idiom: He fell head over heels in love with her. personification: Misery, an unwelcome guest, walked through our front door.

418

What Great Writers Do Using a mix of literal and figurative meanings or language can add vibrancy and interest to the writing.

Notice how W. B. Yeats uses both literal and figurative language in these excerpts from “The Song of Wandering Aengus” (page 415).

I went out to the hazel wood, Because a fire was in my head, And cut and peeled a hazel wand, And hooked a berry to a thread…

Though I am old with wandering …

I will find out where she has gone, …

And pluck till time and times are done The silver apples of the moon, The golden apples of the sun.

REVIEW TERMS

• literal meaning: concrete or common meaning • figurative meaning: a meaning beyond the obvious or literal • figure of speech: a term or phrase meant to be understood imaginatively, not literally • metaphor: a comparison between two dissimilar items • simile: a comparison between two dissimilar items using like or as • idiom: an expression specific to a particular language that cannot be understood literally • personification: the description of a nonhuman object as if it were human

UNIT 3 POETRY

Replace Dull Nouns, Verbs, and Modifiers For each sentence in the previous exercise, replace the dull and vague nouns, verbs, and modifiers you underlined with more precise words and phrases.

0360-0437_Lit3eG09_U03.indd 418

Use Precise Language in Your Writing Write a paragraph that describes a building or other structure, using as many sensory details as possible to create a vivid description. Then review the paragraph, considering your use of nouns, verbs, and modifiers.

Replace any that are dull or imprecise with more interesting and specific words and phrases.

4/30/08 9:19:52 AM

Modifiers—adjectives and adverbs—change or describe the meanings of other words. Colorful or surprising modifiers can turn dull writing into dynamic writing: EXAMPLES

Original sentence The cold wind blew hard.

Revised sentence The frigid wind blew furiously.

BUILD BACKGROUND

USE READING SKILLS

Literary Context “The Teacher Who Changed My Life” is a memoir, or brief autobiography. In the memoir, Gage doesn’t discuss everything that has happened to him so far. Instead, he focuses on a significant event in his life.

The word memoir gives a clue to its meaning: Gage examines memorable experiences in his childhood and early adulthood and explains how these events helped shape his life. The title of the memoir indicates that Gage is describing a teacher who influenced him. What do the words “changed my life” suggest about the selection?

Summarize The ability to summarize a piece of writing, or recap its main ideas or events in your own words, is important to a successful reading experience. As you read the excerpt from “The Teacher Who Changed My Life,” use a graphic organizer like the one below to summarize each part of the selection.

Reader’s Context The author makes the statement, “For the first time I began to understand the power of the written word.” What does the “power of the written word” mean to you? What do you think gives the written word its power?

ANALYZE LITERATURE: Memoir A memoir is a type of autobiography that focuses on one incident or period in the writer’s life. Memoirs are often based on writers’ reactions to historical events.

MEET THE AUTHOR Nicholas Gage (b. 1939), born Nikos Gatzoyiannis, lived in a small village in Greece. His mother, Eleni, was killed for sending him and his sisters to join their father in America. With the encouragement of his junior-high teacher, Miss Hurd, he received a scholarship to Boston University and later graduated from the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism.

Gage moved to Athens, Greece, to become a foreign correspondent for the New York Times but later quit and began searching for information about his mother. His experiences became the basis for his book Eleni (1983). Gage, the author of a number of other books, has received several awards for his works.

Nicholas Gage and his teacher, Marjorie Hurd.

T Reading Literature he person who set the course of my life in the new land I entered as a young war refugee—who, in fact, nearly dragged me onto the path that would bring all the blessings I’ve received in America—was a salty-tongued, no-nonsense schoolteacher named Marjorie Hurd. When I entered her classroom in 1953, I had been to six schools in five years, starting in the Greek village where I was born in 1939.

MEMOIR,

with the father he didn’t know. My mother, Eleni Gatzoyiannis, had been imprisoned, tortured and shot by Communist guerrillas for sending me and three of my four sisters to freedom. She died so that her children could go to their father in the United States.

The portly, bald, well-dressed man who met me and my sisters seemed a foreign, authoritarian figure. I secretly resented him for not getting the whole family out of Greece early enough to save my mother. Ultimately, I would grow to love him and appreciate how he dealt with becoming a single parent at the age of 56, but at first our relationship was prickly, full of hostility.

As Father drove us to our new home—a tenement1 in Worcester, Massachusetts—and pointed out the huge brick building that would be our first school in America, I clutched my Greek notebooks from the refugee camp, hoping that my few years of schooling would impress my teachers in this cold, crowded country. They didn’t.

In this excerpt from the first draft of a student’s paper, words and phrases are underlined and numbered. Alternatives to the underlined words and phrases appear in the right-hand column. Choose the one that best corrects any grammatical or style errors in the original. If you think that the original is error-free, choose “NO CHANGE.” Some questions might also be asked about a section of the passage or the entire passage. These do not refer to a specific underlined phrase or word and are identified by a number in a box. Record your answers on a separate sheet of paper.

Carefully read the following writing prompt. Before you begin writing, think carefully about what task the assignment is asking you to perform. Then create an outline to help guide your writing.

Many people today worries more about their own 1 future than about the future of the human race.

In “Abd al-Rahman Ibrahima,” Walter Dean Myers describes a young man’s journey into slavery. What caused the young son of an African tribal king to become a slave? Why did he decide to return to his “owner” after his escape? What events enabled him to return to Africa?
