8th Grade- Week 6 Reading Language Arts MONDAY

Dear Mama: Letters from a Mill Girl By Cynthia Overbeck Bix Lowell, Massachusetts, on the Merrimack River, was founded in the 1820s as a textile manufacturing center. Powered by the river's 30-foot waterfall, the great mills housed thousands of machines that processed raw cotton into thread and then wove the thread into cloth.

Mill owners needed many workers to operate those machines, but they didn't want to pay too much for labor. They found the perfect labor force—mostly teenage girls and young women from the farms of New England. Life on farms had given girls and women experience in cloth production. They saw mill work as a way to help their families by sending money home as well as an opportunity to earn a little money of their own.

To help attract female workers, mill owners built boardinghouses near the mills. A respectable older woman called the boardinghouse keeper ran the house. She monitored the girls' activities and was required to report any bad behavior to mill management.

Work at the mills was tightly managed and monotonous. The girls signed a contract that bound them to follow the company's rules and to work six days a week, 12 to 14 hours a day, for at least one year. They were on their feet all day.

Grace, the 14-year-old girl in the following story, comes from a farm. She is a fictional character, but her story is based on the actual experience of mill girls.

September 21, 1835

Dear Mama, I am arrived in Lowell at last. My, what a lot I have to tell you!

The journey here seemed mighty long. Bumping along in the wagon and then the train, I couldn't help but think how every mile was carrying me farther away from home.

Cousin Abigail met me at the depot. I knew her by her red hair—just like Papa's. She took me straight to her boardinghouse, so I only got a quick peek at the town. How I longed to stop and just stare at it all! The streets are lined with building after building, all crowded and close together.

And so many people and horses and carriages hurrying here, there, and everywhere. It's so noisy and busy and bright.

Our boardinghouse is built of red brick. It is three stories tall, and our unit is joined to others on both sides. Thirty-six girls live here, four girls and two beds to a room. Abigail is in a room with older girls. I share a bed with a girl named Anne, who is fourteen—just my age! She is nice and quiet. A cheery, younger girl named Mary and a fourth girl, Susan, complete our room. I shouldn't say it, but Susan is a bit stuck-up. Anne whispered to me that it's because we're new girls and Susan has been here for five months. We are all crammed in like hens in the chicken coop. We have a single pitcher and basin for washing up.

Mrs. Chase keeps the house. There are such a lot of rules! We must be ever so quiet coming into the house and hang up our bonnets, shawls, and coats in the entry. We must never be rude or loud.

And we must all be in bed by 10 o'clock.

I must say they feed us plenty. Yesterday's noon dinner was codfish hash and apple pie and warm biscuits and hot coffee.

One nice surprise is there are some books here we can borrow. I know Papa used to think me too bookish for a farm girl but, oh, Mama, I am so eager to read them.

Well, I had better stop. It's almost bedtime, and tomorrow I go to the mill to see about getting a position.

Your loving Grace November 7, 1835

Dear Mama, Forgive me for not writing sooner. This is the first chance I have had.

I don't mean to complain, but — oh! my fingers are sore and my feet are so swollen.

Let me tell you about my days. At 4:30 in the morning, the factory tower bell wakes us with a loud clanging. Such a scrambling goes on in our room. We must all be dressed and at the factory by 5 o'clock sharp or risk being locked out and losing our day's wages.

In the spinning room are rows and rows of big machines with huge, leather drivingbelts, all running at top speeds. You have never heard such a terrible, loud clatter in all your life. We have to holler to hear each other talk. It never lets up all day long.

All the windows are shut tight. It's so stuffy—a fine cotton dust flies everywhere. It makes me sneeze and gets in my hair something awful. It gets hot, too. By the end of the shift, my dress is all wet down the back.

My job is to tend the spinning machines that wind thread onto rows and rows of tall bobbins. I tend eight sides. One side includes long rows of many bobbins, and you'd be amazed at how fast they spin! All day, I walk up and down on the lookout for broken threads. I must tie them together quickly so as not to stop the machine too long. The overseer keeps a sharp eye on all of us.

When the bell rings at 7 o'clock, we stop work. We hurry back to the boardinghouse, eat breakfast, and then it's back to the factory by 7:30. We do it all again for our noon dinner. After that, I am at my machines until closing time at 7 o'clock in the evening. We make our way home in the dark.

By then we are all so tired, we're like to drop. Last night at supper, little Mary fell asleep right at the table!

Mama, enclosed you will find my first month's wages. I earned 14 dollars. They took out 5 dollars for my room and board, and I kept 50 cents for myself as you told me to. I hope the 8 dollars and a half will help.

8th Grade - Week 6 Spanish Language Arts TUESDAY

La escuela STAR enseña a sus alumnos a proteger el planeta Tierra con valores navajo

By Agence France-Presse, adaptado por la redacción de Newsela on 01.13.20 Word Count 983 Level 1050L

Los alumnos de cuarto grado estudian inglés en la escuela STAR, un centro educativo charter que quiere revitalizar el idioma y la cultura navajo, el 23 de febrero de 2018, en Leupp, Arizona. Fotografía por: Douglas Curran/AFP/Getty Images

Una de las escuelas más ecológicas de Estados Unidos se encuentra en el corazón del alto desierto de Arizona, en la frontera de la extensa reserva de la Nación Navajo. La escuela está protegiendo el planeta y su cultura en riesgo, inspirándose en los valores de los nativos americanos.

La escuela STAR tiene clases en inglés, aunque, si el acelerado plan de estudios lo permite, también enseñan en el idioma nativo local conocido como diné.

En el jardín de infancia, una maestra les muestra tejidos tradicionales a un puñado de niños.

Mientras, los alumnos que están en edad de primaria, algunos con sus trenzas tradicionales, hablan de los fundamentos de la escritura de ficción o la informática.

"Me gusta esta escuela porque hay muchos miembros de mi familia aquí", dijo Akura, una niña alegre y de voz suave, de 11 años.

El nombre de la escuela significa "Servicio a todas las relaciones" This article is available at 5 reading levels at https://newsela.com.

20

El nombre de la escuela es un acrónimo en inglés de "Servicio a Todas las Relaciones". Resalta la perspectiva navajo de que todos los seres vivos están conectados, desde la planta más pequeña hasta el mamífero más grande.

"Enseñamos a los niños la paz tradicional. No hemos tenido una pelea que haya llegado a los puños en ocho años", dice el fundador de la escuela, Mark Sorensen. "He sido director durante 40 años y puedo decir que esto es algo extraordinario".

La escuela STAR tiene alumnos de hasta la escuela secundaria. La institución genera toda su electricidad con dos turbinas eólicas y 300 paneles solares. Las energías solar y eólica son más limpias que la electricidad que se obtiene a partir de la combustión de carbón o petróleo.

Este enfoque se tomó, en parte, de la ideología aunque también de la necesidad. No hay suministro de energía eléctrica en el campo, que se encuentra a unas 25 millas de Flagstaff, Arizona, la ciudad más cercana.

"Se ha estimado que entre los desiertos de Arizona y Nevada los paneles solares podrían alimentar a la mitad del país", dice Sorensen. Sorensen es un ecólogo que ha estado por años "fuera de la red" eléctrica. En otras palabras, no ha dependido de la red eléctrica y, en cambio, ha empleado fuentes renovables, como el viento o la energía solar.

En este lugar, los niños aprenden y crecen

Sorensen fundó la escuela STAR hace 17 años con su esposa, pagando el primer edificio él mismo.

El campus ahora recibe a 130 estudiantes y ahora hay un gimnasio y un invernadero donde los estudiantes cultivan vegetales y hierbas que se usan en la cafetería.

Ahí aprenden a vivir de un modo "renovable" con el que no andan por el mundo agotando sus recursos. Los alumnos también se familiarizan con formas de cultivar vegetales. Esos métodos casi han desaparecido de las mesas en la alejada región, donde la comida es escasa.

La comunidad sufre un "trauma histórico"

La comunidad navajo tiene altos índices de pobreza y adicción a las drogas, violencia doméstica y problemas de salud como la diabetes, además de aún sufrir las consecuencias del "trauma histórico", como lo llaman los lugareños.

El trauma se originó por una situación, sucedida a mediados del siglo 19. Cerca de 9.000 navajos fueron expulsados de sus tierras por el ejército de los Estados Unidos, quienes los forzaron a marchar cientos de millas para encerrarlos en Fort Sumner, en Nuevo México.

En 1868, se firmó un tratado que los autorizaba a ser parte de un área protegida reconocida por el gobierno federal, la reserva de la Nación Navajo.

Los niños fueron enviados a internados, donde los maltrataron y les prohibieron hablar en su idioma.

"Es un modelo que se utilizó en todo el mundo, con los aborígenes de Australia... en todas partes", dice Sorensen. "Las escuelas eran un lugar donde había violencia psicológica hacia las personas y la cultura. Hay mucho dolor y enojo entre las familias nativas con las escuelas".

La escuela STAR celebra la cultura navajo

La escuela STAR y otras similares están a la vanguardia de los intentos por mantener viva la cultura navajo. La escuela celebra la cultura que ha sido erosionada por una larga tradición de colonizadores anglosajones que se establecen en tierras nativas.

Los estudiantes de octavo grado completan un proyecto científico que sirva a su comunidad. Un grupo ganó una beca de Samsung por convertir un simple cubo en un aparato de aire acondicionado de bajo costo y bajo consumo de energía.

Los maestros navajo quieren dedicar más tiempo a enseñar su cultura

Al igual que cualquier otra institución pública, la escuela STAR tiene sus propios conflictos internos y prioridades en competencia.

Para mantener su financiamiento, la escuela tiene que obtener un nivel educativo equivalente al de las escuelas públicas locales. Esto significa que los alumnos deben obtener calificaciones con un promedio de C, lo que representa uno de los peores estados en términos educativos, de acuerdo con las clasificaciones del sitio web de la revista U.S. News & World Report.

Los maestros no nativos lamentan que la atención a la tradición afecta el tiempo de clase, que podría dedicarse a lectura o matemáticas.

Por otro lado, los maestros navajos se quejan de que solo dedican dos horas semanales al estudio de su idioma en peligro de extinción.

Las autoridades "nos dicen qué enseñar, que esto es más importante que aquello, y siempre la cultura occidental es la dominante", dice Revalane Nez. A ella le gustaría dedicar tiempo a historias de héroes navajos y otros aspectos de su historia y cultura.

Hace lo que puede para mantener viva su herencia con un club de cultura navajo, un campamento de bienestar en primavera y un campamento de idioma navajo.

La escuela realiza esfuerzos para evitar que la lengua navajo se olvide pero, en las familias navajo, a veces son solo los abuelos quienes todavía hablan el idioma con fluidez.

The Letter Dear Jane, I was delighted to read you're letter last week. Its always a pleasure to recieve the latest news and to here that you and your family had a great summer.

We spent last week at the beach and had so much fun on the sand and in the water exploring the coast we weren't prepared for the rains that came at the end of the vacation. The best parts of the trip was the opportunities to sightsee and relax.

My kids are back in school to. I find their are less things to worry about now that the kids are at school all day. There is plenty of fun things to do in the summer, but by August, I've running out of ideas. I've excepted the fact that we'll have to think up brand-new activities next summer; hoping to round up some creative ideas soon.

Thanks again for your letter!

Sincerely, Karen

6th, 7th and 8th Grade ART Zentangle Reflections

Standard: Creative expression. The student communicates ideas through original artworks using a variety of media with appropriate skills. The student expresses thoughts and ideas creatively while challenging the imagination, fostering reflective thinking, and developing disciplined effort and progressive problem-solving skills.

Objective

In this Zentangle Reflections Art Lesson, students will design a Zentangle drawing creating positive and negative space using the silhouette of an animal or a recognizable shape.

Materials • • • •

Pencil, Optional: Sharpie Markers 2 sheets 8x10 White paper, Optional: one sheet 8x10 black paper Scissors Optional: Glue sticks or white glue

Instructions

1. Choose any animal or recognizable shape (outline only): sharks, unicorn heads, Converse shoes, butterflies, or a T-Rex for example. The sky is the limit!

2. Draw the chosen shape in the middle of a sheet of white paper.

3. After you have drawn your shape, place a clean sheet of paper on top of it. Lay your papers on a window to help you see through your clean paper in order to trace your drawing. Trace around the silhouette of the first drawing onto a new white paper.

4. You have some options here. If you have black paper, cut the second shape out and glue it to the center of the black paper. Make it the mirror image of the 1st image (facing each other) on the first paper. See example above.

5. Shade your drawing completely (see first image of example above) and fill the background completely with Zentangle patterns.

6. Once the half sheet of paper is filled in completely with Zentangles, students create another Zentangle on their cut-out shape. The Zentangle does not need to match the half sheet paper Zentangle. It can be a fresh set of patterns and lines. IF you do not have black paper, shade around the shape with your pencil or black marker (Sharpie). You also have the option of just leaving the 2nd background white if you like.
