There are those, however, who do not promote wind power such as the National Research Council. They claim that, "wind turbines already in place...kill hundreds of birds and bats each year." It is true that during the early years of wind power, many birds were drawn into windmills. Plans,however, are in place to guard these species from flying into the turbines. In addition, scientists are already developing technology off the shore of coastal Georgia to measure the harnessing of offshore breezes that could be harvested during the summer when the need for power reaches its highest demand. Science has a plan to protect our environment and those who fly its skies.

Which of the following BEST explains the author's purpose for including this paragraph in "Wind
Power"?

A or B

A- the author focuses on the counter argument to make his claim balanced

B- the author introduces the counter argument in order to refute it and further his own claims about wind power

HELP PLEASE THANKS!
Read the following paragraph:

"The 'marshmallow test' was developed in the 1960’s as a way to understand personality traits. In the test, preschoolers were given a marshmallow, then told they would get two marshmallows if they didn’t eat the first one while the researcher left the room for a few minutes. At the time, researchers thought that the children who held out for a second treat had greater willpower.

"However, a new investigation suggests that the marshmallow test didn’t really measure willpower after all. When researchers tried the experiment again, they found that the decision to eat or wait had more to do with economic background than personality. Children from poorer families were more likely to eat the first marshmallow than wait, perhaps because in their experience the future is uncertain. Wealthier children found it easier to hold out, perhaps because they had more expectation that their needs would always be met."

A. What is the implied main idea of this reading?


B. Research experiments are not reliable.


C. The results of scientific studies should be interpreted cautiously.


D. Wealthy people have more willpower than poor people.


Some kids like marshmallows more than others.

Blue-Screen Technology
The camera rolls as an actor stands in front of a blue screen. The actor stands alone, saying his lines. However, when you see the actual movie, he is talking to a formidable seven-foot-tall monster in a creepy dark forest. A process called blue-screen technology is used to insert images into a background. Today, moviemakers use this process to combine digitally created, or computer-generated, characters with real people on the screen. Here’s how it works:
The scene calls for a real character to interact with a seven-foot-tall digitally created monster. First, the real character’s part must be filmed. He may rehearse with another actor who plays the part of the monster. During the rehearsal, the “monster” might wear a tall hat to represent the stature of the monster. The real actor practices looking at the top of the hat during the scene so that is seems that he is looking up at a very tall creature. The actor gets used to where the monster stands and moves. The monster’s movements are marked on the floor so that the actor doesn’t walk on top of the monster during the scene. Then it is time for the scene to be shot. The actor stands alone in front of a blue screen and delivers his lines as if the monster were there. Eventually, the blue background is deleted, using a computer, and images of the digital monster and background are then transferred to the film.

Which of these steps is second in the blue-screen process?
a.
The real character rehearses his part with another character playing the monster.
c.
The blue background is deleted, using a computer, and images of the digital monster and background are then transferred to the film.
b.
The scene is shot.
d.
none of the above

MOM: You need to start your homework as soon as you get home from school. You will be too tired to do it later.

ISAAC: I'm tired when I get home from school because I've been paying attention in class and surrounded by people all day. I also have to clean my room and take Boomer for a walk.

MOM: Your homework is more important than both of those things.

ISAAC: I agree with you. But by the time I get home from school, I've been doing schoolwork for eight hours straight. If I had a break from doing schoolwork to take care of the other things I need to do before starting homework, I think I would be more focused. Also, I always finish my homework. It's important to me that it get done, too.

Mt. Pleasant School was on one hill, Hillside was across A long, green field of cool, fresh grass, perfect for lacrosse. When winter storms embraced the land, these rivals claimed the snow. The feud between them grew as fierce as a lion, the snow they would forgo. Tired of the quarrel, Tucker, Billy, and Joanne Met with their Hillside enemies to formulate a plan. An epic snowball battle would decide the war for land. The conquerors would claim it; the defeated would be banned. At last it was the evening of the legendary fight. Mt. Pleasant versus Hillside schools—who would win that night? Tucker, Billy, and Joanne met in the field at six To create a strong snow fort made from icy bricks. Hillside functioned as a team to build a mighty wall. It grew so tall and powerful that it amazed them all. Mt. Pleasant students were concerned—their fort had many cracks, So secret windows were prepared for surprise attacks. Both teams had made their forts. Small snowballs were prepared. Both teams huddled in their forts, terrified and scared. Both teams waited for their foes and peeked above snow doors. Both teams threw their snowballs. Both teams dodged the lobs of war. Suddenly, Joanne dashed out, racing through the fray Toward some snowballs piled high—but foes kept her at bay. Next, Joanne hurled snowballs through secret window gaps. Snow flew both ways—Joanne had snow in her face and lap. Leaders slipped, great walls collapsed, and snowballs fell from heights, Until supplies ran out and all could see the starry sky. For minutes long, two foes had played together on the field. A truce was called, new friends shook hands, and the rift was healed. How many stanzas are in the poem?

Record a 9- to 11-minute presentation based on your close reading of "The Oval Portrait" by Edgar Allan Poe that answers one of the topic questions listed in the project.

Do an initial reading of "The Oval Portrait" based on your first reading and choose a question to answer in your presentation.
Do a close reading of the story in order to answer your topic question. Analyze aspects of the story that are relevant to your question, such as the historical and literary context of its author, the story's plot or themes, or the author's word choices, style, and tone.
Formulate a thesis statement that answers your topic question.
Write an outline of your presentation that includes:
an introduction in which you state your thesis
a body, in which you present evidence to support your thesis
a conclusion that summarizes your evidence and restates your thesis
As you prepare your outline, reread the story as many times as needed to gather evidence from the text that supports your position. Write down quotations you'll use in your presentation. Use information you learned earlier in this unit, too.
Rehearse your presentation thoroughly until you can speak smoothly but naturally. Do not write out or read your presentation word-for-word. Read quotations to make sure they're exact, but use your own words for the rest of the presentation.
Record your presentation. Follow your outline and introduce your evidence appropriately while using cue words to help your audience understand the organization of your ideas. Your teacher may ask you to submit your outline.
Refer back to the rubric provided in the project to evaluate your performance before submitting it.
