Write three to five sentence explaining any strategies you used and what new understanding you gained from the text as a result
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

Sample Response: When I read silently, I focused on punctuation, context, and words with strong emotions. This strategy helped me understand people's feelings. When I read aloud, I kept in mind that the author feels pained in the first paragraph. Then, I kept in mind the fact that when she realizes people are on her side, she feels joy and hope. By thinking about the tone, I understood how the same picture makes Melba feel two different ways.

What is the meaning of soil
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

there are different meanings of soil. here are a few with some examples :

-"She soiled herself because her parents wouldn't take her to the bathroom." You can first assume it has to do with the bathroom because it says so in the text, now another definition of soil is dirt, or the top layer of the earth. using this definition you can assume it is dirty. Then another clue would be that SHE soiled HERSELF. Using these clues you can assume it means that she had to use the BATHROOM and because her parents wouldn't let her she went to the bathroom on herself.

-"The Gardner put some new soil down to help cover the gopher holes." You can now assume that soil has to do with gardening because it says so in the text. You can also infer that they used it to cover gopher holes. You can now get a better understanding because gophers like to dig holes in dirt. Using these clues you can predict soil is dirt.

scoundrel [369]

Dudley Randall's poem “Ballad of Birmingham” is a tribute to a real-life church bombing in 1963, which killed four young girls. The main theme is that nothing - not even a mother's love or the sacred walls of a church - can protect an innocent child from racial violence.

how the federalist papers would have been more or less successful if newspapers had been printed monthly
Zielflug [23.3K]

If newspapers had been printed monthly instead of daily, The Federalist Papers would have been less successful.  The Federalist Papers had essays which were printed in the newspapers, with three or four pieces of them each week. If they were printed monthly instead, they wouldn’t be able to reach as much people.
