comparing and contrasting the poems. How are they the same and how are they different. Be sure to talk about the conflict, characterization, or setting in each poem, differences between the speakers in the poems, both poems’ use of at least one literary technique (sensory language, figurative language), and differences between the structures of the poems (stanzas, rhyming, rhythm). I would create one paragraph on how they are the same and one paragraph about how they are different.

Underline the simple subject and the simple predicate.

The Camper Badge

Marisol had been in Girl Scouts for five years, and she only needed one more badge to complete her scouts uniform. She had put off the camping challenge required to obtain the Camper Badge because sleeping outside in the woods sounded terrible, but the time had come, and Marisol couldn't put it off any longer.
Her parents began packing everything for their weekend camping trip the day before. Their living room was piled with sleeping bags, a tent, coolers, flashlights, and backpacks. Marisol's mother asked her to gather the sunscreen, bug spray, and extra batteries while her dad dug for a lantern and the hotdog skewers. It seemed like an awful lot to pack for one weekend.
Early the next morning, they loaded the car and began their hour-long drive to the campsite. While gazing out the window, Marisol began to think about her Camper Badge. In order to receive her badge, Marisol had to build a fire, sleep overnight in a tent, navigate the campsite using a compass, and draw a map of the area, so as soon as they arrived, she took out her drawing supplies. Once her map was complete with major landmarks including the river, two large trees, a picnic table, and fire pit, she dug around in her bag for her compass. Surprisingly, the compass ended up being quite simple and fun to use.
Marisol began feeling anxious as she noticed the sun starting to set and the sky becoming darker and darker. Working together, Marisol and her mom started a campfire and began roasting hotdogs and marshmallows. Cooking over a fire was fun and tasty, but then it was time to settle into the tent for the night. Marisol couldn't stop thinking about the sounds of the woods and darkness; surely, she wouldn't sleep at all.
Marisol woke to the sound of her father stoking the fire as he stacked rocks and placed a skillet full of pancakes on top. She was surprised at how fast she had fallen asleep the night before. The weekend turned out to be better than she anticipated, and Marisol couldn't wait to plan their next camping trip.What is the best summary of the passage?

Thinking up a Storm

Tucker and Anita need to decide on the topic of their upcoming science project. Both are feeling stuck because they are having a hard time coming up with workable ideas. Anita wisely suggests that they just start writing down all the ideas that come into their heads, however seemingly silly or unusable. From their list, Tucker points out that they actually have a few really great proposals.

In this scenario, Anita and Tucker made use of a brainstorming technique. Brainstorming is valuable when a creative idea is needed and ideas are difficult to generate. One begins the process by throwing out as many ideas as possible—even some that seem crazy. Sometimes the perfect idea comes straight from that list, or sometimes that list just leads to other ideas.

There are certain things to consider when brainstorming for a project. First, set the tone by reminding people not to criticize anyone’s ideas so that no one feels uncomfortable giving wild suggestions, which can sometimes turn out to be the best ones. Next, try out several brainstorming tools and see which works most effectively. For example, try having everyone write ideas down individually and then compare thoughts aloud. Another option is to start by using a “brain dumping” technique, where you simply write every thought that comes into your head for five minutes, no matter how unrelated to the topic it may seem.

A more extreme method of brainstorming is called “reversing,” which starts by taking a thought and reversing it. For example, the question of “What is the best way to build this website?” would be reversed and turned into “What is the worst way to build this website?” An outside-the-box question such as this fuels the imagination. Then some of the bad ideas can inspire a great idea that would not have been considered using a more traditional brainstorming method.

However you choose to start, the important thing is to play around with ideas until some start to stick. Be creative, be wacky, and have fun with the topic. If you remember that no thought is a wasted thought while brainstorming, you can find some truly imaginative solutions.



The Teamwork Trap

A fairly common thought is that if everyone else thinks something is the best idea, then it must be the best idea. This is a prime example of a phenomenon known as “groupthink.” Groupthink often occurs when members of a team attempt to make a decision or solve a problem. The problem with groupthink is that group members start to overvalue unity and hesitate to oppose popular opinion. The negative result is that alternate ideas are not even considered and flaws in the popular plan are not discussed.

However, what are the causes of groupthink? It often occurs when there is a persuasive leader with whom the other group members always want to agree. Sometimes there is the illusion of unanimity, or the belief that everyone else is in agreement already, so you should be too. Another cause of groupthink is when people feel they will be criticized for their opinions. The result of this attitude is that no one wants to think too creatively. Too much confidence can even be a cause. If everyone is so positive that an idea will succeed, they will not likely explore alternatives to that idea. Furthermore, many people simply want to be agreeable so that they are accepted and liked by the group.

The problem with this mindset is that it often yields poor results. For instance, suppose no one wants to argue with the leader that their group essay is not being written well, and so all students end up receiving a bad grade. At its worst, groupthink can be a trap that produces disastrous outcomes. One example occurred in 1986 when the Challenger space shuttle exploded before ever making it out of Earth’s atmosphere. It was revealed later that a few members of the group who designed the shuttle knew that a few parts were not quite right. Due to a groupthink mentality, none of them spoke up before the shuttle launched.

Ultimately, a group needs to make a decision to value and listen to everyone’s opinions in order to avoid groupthink. Groups that learn to brainstorm well together often avoid a group mentality, and this is when the best ideas tend to thrive.

why is this poem the biggest piece of junk on the planet it makes no sense

The right to make my dreams come true,
I ask, nay, I demand of life,
Nor shall fate's deadly contraband
Impede my steps, nor countermand;
Too long my heart against the ground
Has beat the dusty years around,
And now at length I rise! I wake!
And stride into the morning break!

1. Which best paraphrases this excerpt without changing Chisolm's meaning?

The Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments guarantee due process of law, which should include sex distinctions, but their application remains unclear because women are excluded from some state colleges and universities, some juries, some business, and some courtrooms.
The Constitution guarantees equal protection under the law, but the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments do not apply equally to women; for example, women are not allowed to attend certain schools, serve on certain juries, engage in independent business, or even be given the same penalty for the same crime a man commits.
Due process, guaranteed by the Constitution, is inconsistently applied to women, who are excluded from some colleges and universities and some juries, who may be restricted from engaging in a business, and who may also be penalized more harshly than men for similar crimes.
While the Constitution was originally intended to include all United States citizens, amendments guaranteeing due process of law exclude women who want to attend college, serve on juries, run a business, or receive the same criminal penalties as men.
