The Rainy Day
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
The day is cold, and dark, and dreary;
It rains, and the wind is never weary;
The vine still clings to the moldering wall,
But at every gust the dead leaves fall,
And the day is dark and dreary.
My life is cold, and dark, and dreary;
It rains, and the wind is never weary;
My thoughts still cling to the moldering Past,
But the hopes of youth fall thick in the blast,
And the days are dark and dreary.
Be still, sad heart! and cease repining;
Behind the clouds is the sun still shining;
Thy fate is the common fate of all,
Into each life some rain must fall,
Some days must be dark and dreary.

Answer:

The Rainy Day

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

The day is cold, and dark, and dreary;

It rains, and the wind is never weary;

The vine still clings to the moldering wall,

But at every gust the dead leaves fall,

And the day is dark and dreary.

My life is cold, and dark, and dreary;

It rains, and the wind is never weary;

My thoughts still cling to the moldering Past,

But the hopes of youth fall thick in the blast,

And the days are dark and dreary.

Be still, sad heart! and cease repining;

Behind the clouds is the sun still shining;

Thy fate is the common fate of all,

Into each life some rain must fall,

Some days must be dark and dreary.

Before You Begin
Choose one of the Civil War topics listed below. Using the library and the Internet, find one research source about the topic. Your source should be at least five hundred words in length, or, if you select a print source, at least four to five pages.

Choose one topic:

a major Civil War battle
Civil War munitions and uniforms
the Emancipation Proclamation
the Gettysburg Address
After you find your source, you should meet with your teacher to get it approved before moving on to the next step.

Good readers rely on a set of skills to help them understand a text. You can use these strategies as you read the research source about the Civil War.

If possible, print a version of the text that you can write on. It is helpful to highlight key points and make notes in the margins. This strategy is called annotating.
When you find words or phrases that you do not know, do not skip over them. There is a series of steps you can take to understand the meaning of these words and phrases, so that you do not miss out on key ideas.
Context clues: Look at the words before and after the unknown word or phrase. Using the surrounding text, or context, can you find any clues to the meaning of the unknown word?
Using a dictionary: To find the specific meaning of a word, including helpful information like part of speech, word origin, and multiple meanings, you can use a dictionary. There are both print and online dictionaries available.
Using an encyclopedia: Some words or phrases may have an important historical or contextual meaning behind them, especially in a social studies or history text. In this case, an encyclopedia is an excellent resource. For example, you would not want to simply use a dictionary to look up George Washington; in fact, an encyclopedia would provide you with a clearer meaning.
After annotating the text, go back and read the text one more time. You might notice new details that you missed the first time.
After you have finished reading the text a second time and have defined any unknown words, jot down some notes about the key points or ideas. It can be helpful to write a quick summary of the source in order to prepare you for your next step: writing a report.
Directions
Choose one Civil War topic from the list below. Research your topic using the library and the Internet. Then, write a report of at least four hundred words.

a major Civil War battle
Civil War munitions and uniforms
the Emancipation Proclamation
the Gettysburg Address
Make sure you correctly cite your research source or sources in your writing.

“A Child was standing on a street-corner. He leaned with one shoulder against a high board-fence and swayed the other to and fro, the while kicking carelessly at the gravel. Sunshine beat upon the cobbles, and a lazy summer wind raised yellow dust which trailed in clouds down the avenue. Clattering trucks moved with indistinctness through it. The child stood dreamily gazing.”

Read the following excerpt from The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling.

"How little! How naked, and—how bold!" said Mother Wolf, softly. The baby was pushing his way between the cubs to get close to the warm hide. "Ahai! He is taking his meal with the others. And so this is a man's cub. Now, was there ever a wolf that could boast of a man's cub among her children?"

"I have heard now and again of such a thing, but never in our pack or in my time," said Father Wolf. "He is altogether without hair, and I could kill him with a touch of my foot. But see, he looks up and is not afraid."

What does the dialogue between Mother and Father Wolf reveal about the characters?

They think that the man cub is perfectly safe in the jungle.
They feel a tenderness and affection toward the man cub.
They intend to leave the man cub to fend for himself in the jungle.
They are worried that humans will come to find the man cub

Excerpt from Stuff Matters

By Mark Miodownik

In the absence of copper, gold, and meteoric iron, our ancestors’ tools during the Stone Age were made of flint, wood, and bone. Anyone who has ever tried to make anything with these kinds of tools knows how limiting they are: if you hit a piece of wood it either splinters, cracks, or snaps. The same is true of rock or bone. Metals are fundamentally different from these other materials because they can be hammered into shape: they flow, they are malleable. Not only that, they get stronger when you hit them; you can harden a blade just by hammering it. And you can reverse the process simply by putting metal in a fire and heating it up, which will cause it to get softer. The first people to discover these properties ten thousand years ago had found a material that was almost as hard as a rock but behaved like a plastic and was almost infinitely reusable. In other words, they had discovered the perfect material for tools, and in particular cutting tools like axes, chisels, and razors. This ability of metals to transform from a soft to a hard material must have seemed like magic to our ancient ancestors.

In 1961 Professor Richmond from Oxford University discovered a pit that had been dug by the Romans in AD 89. It contained 763,840 small two-inch nails, 85,128 medium nails, 25,088 large nails, and 1,344 extra-large sixteen-inch nails. The hoard was of iron and steel and not gold, which most people would have found bitterly disappointing. But not Professor Richmond. Why, he asked himself, would a Roman legion bury seven tons of iron and steel? The legion had been occupying the advance headquarters of Agricola in a place called Inchtuthil in Scotland. This was at the outer reaches of the Roman Empire, and their mission was to protect its border from what they saw as the savage tribes who threatened it: the Celts. The legion of five thousand men occupied the region for six years before retreating and, in the process, abandoning their fort. They made great efforts to leave behind nothing that could help their enemies. They smashed all food and drink containers and burned the fort to the ground. But they weren’t satisfied with this. In the ashes were the steel nails that had held the fort together, and they were far too valuable to be left to the tribes that had driven them out. Iron and steel were the materials that enabled the Romans to build aqueducts, ships, and swords; they allowed them to engineer an empire. Leaving the nails to their enemies would have been as useful as leaving a cache of weapons, so they buried them in a pit before marching south.
Based on the excerpt, the reader can infer that Professor Richmond viewed the discovery of the Roman pit as –

A) Fascinating

B)Disappointing

C) Wasteful

D) Intelligent
