adapted from Cats: Their Points and Characteristics
by W. Gordon Stables

“Are cats to be trusted?”

A question like this, which to kitty is a most momentous one, affecting not only her comfort and happiness, but her standing as a social pet and her very existence itself, cannot be treated lightly in a work like mine. My own opinion is, and always has been, that if cats are properly fed and cared for, they will do anything rather than steal. However, I was not content with providing just my own experience in this volume, since some might say my cats have been exceptional. Instead, I placed cats in court, as it were, and given them a long, fair, and impartial trial. For several months, I have summoned evidence for and against cats’ honesty from people all throughout Great Britain and Ireland.

Based on the information my participants provided, the verdict is as follows: “Cats are not as a rule thieves, but in fact, quite the reverse.” In most cases, when properly treated, cats are to be trusted.

In every case investigated, where a feline theft was proven, it turned out that the cat had been mistreated. Of course, a cat that has no food or is left out overnight may prowl or steal. However, by regular feeding, good housing, occasional gentle correction — when your cat is misbehaving — and kindness, you may make almost any cat honest.

Which sentence from paragraph 5 best conveys Europeans' impact on the prairie?

help me, please it timed

Whenever I see Gas balloons go up

I wonder where we’d end up

If we’re balloons.

Would we go far away to some unknown destiny?

Or will it be carefully decided goal.

We would work our way to?


Balloons! How much they’re

like human beings-

so different from each other

in colors, shapes, design and sizes

Some live long and some don’t.


Just like us some find

A pair of loving hands and some don’t

They get lost, burst or destroyed


Like we do at times

They rub cheeks affectionately

Occasionally you can hear

they whisper secrets

As only friends will.


And once in a while, in the chill

of the night, or mist of dawn

you may find one tear

flowing down silently.

"Ashes of Life" by Edna St. Vincent Millay
Love has gone and left me and the days are all alke
Eat I must, and sleep I will-and would that night were herel
But ahl-to be awake and hear the slow hours strikel
Would that it were day again! - -with twilight neart
Love has gone and left me and I don't know what to do
This or that or what you will is all the same to me
But all the things that I begin I leave before I'm through -
There's little use in anything as far as I can see.
Love has gone and left me, and the neighbors knock and
borrow
And life goes on forever like the gnawing of a mouse, -
And to-morrow and to-morrow and to-morrow and to-morrow
There's this little street and this little house.

Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World.

The diamond and the house: two family treasures, two parts of the story of sugar. We realized that our two family stories—Marina's great-grandparents, brought to Guyana to replace slaves, and Marc's aunt's grandfather, helping to refine an alternative to that same sugar—were just the beginning of a much larger story about a remarkable substance. It is a story of the movement of millions of people, of fortunes made and lost, of brutality and delight—all because of tiny crystals stirred into our coffee, twirled on top of a cake. Sugar, we began to see, changed the world.

What is the purpose of this passage?

to explain who Marina and Marc are
to link the authors’ families to sugar
to explore the history of Guyana
to show what sugar is used for

Step 1: List your ideas, using the seven questions you saw earlier in this lesson. Copy
1. What is your perspective on the story?
Did it happen long ago or just recently?
2. What is the dramatic situation at the
heart of the story? What question will the
story need to answer for viewers?
3. What is the emotional content of the
story? What feelings should it convey?
4. How will your voice be represented in
the story? Will you record a voiceover
audio track? Will you include text on
screen?
5. What other sounds should you include
in the story? Music? Sound effects?
6. How much of the story should appear
in your digital version? Are there details

most "screen time?"

Step 2: Select the details and language that you'll use to tell your story in a digital form. Write
a script representing what you will say in the audio voiceover or in on-screen text. (You might
want to highlight text in your reflective essay and then copy and paste those excerpts below.)


Step 3: Create a storyboard showing what will appear on each screen in your presentation. A storyboard is like an outline that includes a script and a list of images, audio, or sound effects
that will accompany the script.
