(THE paragraph)

1 Tight school budgets could soon translate into Missouri school districts’ selling ad space on yellow school buses.



2 Missouri state Rep. T.J. Berry, R-Kearney, says his bill—HB 224—isn’t a cure-all by any stretch. But legalizing ads inside and outside the buses would give school districts one additional way to raise money in these tough times.



3 “Every single school district has had to deal with budget concerns,” Berry said last week. “And generally speaking, the way they have had to deal with those has been cuts or tax increases.”



4 The school bus is something that is already out there and paid for, he said. His bill would permit districts to generate a modest stream of income from their buses.



5 Few question the need for finding additional funds when it comes to educating children, but at least two groups think the school bus exteriors should remain ad-free.



6 “There is no such thing as free money,” said Josh Golin, associate director for the Campaign for a Commercial Free Childhood. “There are real costs to this: the price of selling out your students to advertisers.”



7 Students don’t need the first and last message they receive from their schools each day to be advertisements, Golin said. Students boarding a bus are certainly a captive audience.



8 The National Association of State Directors of Pupil Transportation Services opposes advertising on safety grounds. Obscuring the recognizable school-bus yellow exterior with ads and distracting other drivers “present a safety problem around school buses that cannot be ignored,” the group said in its position paper.



9 National studies have shown that anything that diverts a driver’s attention from the road can pose a hazard, opponents say.



10 “And a big yellow bus doesn’t distract?” Berry asked.



11 Several years ago in Indiana, a Department of Education lawyer suggested that allowing advertisements on buses would invite First Amendment challenges by spurned advertisers, the group noted.



12 Berry said the bill would limit the types of advertising that would be allowed.



13 The regulations would prohibit ads that contain obscene or sexual material, or messages associated with gambling, tobacco products, alcohol, and political campaigns or causes. The ads could not promote drug use or “any illegal activity or antisocial behavior.” They can’t contain “harmful, discriminatory, false, misleading or deceptive” messages.



14 “There are a lot of safeguards being built in,” he said.



15 Berry emphasized that the space reserved for the ads would be “very limited,” meaning toward the back of the bus.



16 By 2012, nine states—Arizona, Colorado, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, Tennessee, Texas and Utah—permitted advertising on the exterior of school buses, according to the Campaign for a Commercial-Free Childhood. Several, including Missouri, considered it last year.



17 The bill made it out of the Missouri House last year but did not clear the Senate, Berry said. He acknowledged that the idea was “very controversial.”

One of the many things that authors have to consider when writing is the audience they are writing for. The author may use specific techniques to interest a particular audience, or shape their writing to ensure that their specific audience will understand the main ideas. For example, if you were writing an instruction manual for rocket scientists, it would likely look very different from one you would write for young children. Your language, tone, and writing style would change significantly.

You will be writing two separate paragraphs in this journal entry, each intended for a very different audience. Imagine you have been asked to write a paragraph about something you can do to improve your school or community. First, write the paragraph imagining that the readers of the paragraph will be first- and second-graders at the local elementary school. Then, revise the paragraph, this time writing it for an audience of political repesentatives in your city.

Your response should be no less than 150 words in total, and must include both versions of the paragraph.

Read the excerpt passage then answer the questions below, based on the reading

When another old cave is discovered in the south of France, it is not usually news. Rather, it is an ordinary event. Such discoveries are so frequent these days that hardly anybody pays heed to them. However, when the Lascaux cave complex was discovered in 1940, the world was amazed. Painted directly on its walls were hundreds of scenes showing how people lived thousands of years ago. The scenes show people hunting animals, such as bison or wild cats. Other images depict birds and, most noticeably, horses, which appear in more than 300 wall images, by far outnumbering all other animals. Early artists drawing these animals accomplished a monumental and difficult task. They did not limit themselves to the easily accessible walls but carried their painting materials to spaces that required climbing steep walls or crawling into narrow passages in the Lascaux complex. Unfortunately, the paintings have been exposed to the destructive action of water and temperature changes, which easily wear the images away. Because the Lascaux caves have many entrances, air movement has also damaged the images inside. Although they are not out in the open air, where natural light would have destroyed them long ago, many of the images have deteriorated and are barely recognizable. To prevent further damage, the site was closed to tourists in 1963, 23 years after it was discovered.

Write three sentences correctly using ‘future tenses’ to describe the future advantages and disadvantages of the Lascaux cave complex being closed in 1963.

Has beat the dusty years around,
And now at length I rise! I wake!
And stride into the morning break!

SHARKS' TEETH
Langston Carter

The day we found the sharks' teeth was foggy and cool. Moisture hung in the air so thick you could almost see it sparkling in the dim sunlight. There were days, early in the summer like this one, where it seemed there was more water in the air than in the bay. We had beached the boat and stepped out on the recently cleared spit of land. The ground had a light dusting of white sand over an under layer of dried black mud. It looked like a recently frosted chocolate cake, though the frosting was spread a bit thin for my taste. The ground was solid, but we knew from experience that it was full of fiddler crab holes, and would be underwater at the first super-high tide. Mysteriously, to us anyway, someone wanted to build a house there.

We often came to these spots to look for artifacts. Our beach, our summer home, had been a fishing camp for as long as anyone living could remember. The oldest stories told of travelers coming down to the edge of the sea, lining up to fill their wagon beds with salted fish to take back home. Old decaying cabins still lined the beach. Rotting nets, hung out to dry in the last century, decorated their weathered walls. Their broken faces spun stories in our minds. The fishermen who, tanned and wrinkled from sun and salt, hauled their nets full of splashing mullet in to cheers from the waiting crowds. The bounty of the sea lightened everyone's hearts, and the smell of roasting fish filled the damp air. Women fanned themselves from wagon seats. Children splashed in the shallow edges of the bay. It was a scene we had acted out as youngsters, building an imaginary bridge to a life we would never fully know.

Emma was having a wonderful time at summer camp. She’d made friends with
all the girls in her cabin, and she was having taking part in all the activities, and
she even secretly enjoyed some of the chores.
One day, a package arrived at camp from Emma’s grandmother. The other girls
in the cabin were excited about what the package contained, and watched as
Emma opened it. Inside was a box of her grandmother’s homemade caramels,
which were Emma’s favorite. She was about to eat one of them when one of the
other girls asked if she could have a caramel. Then the other girls asked the
same question. Emma counted the caramels. There were ten in the box. There
were eight other girls in the cabin, so if she gave each of them one caramel,
there would only be two left for her. She thought about keeping them for herself.
After all, they were her favorite, and her grandmother had sent them to her. As
much as she loved the caramels, though, she also wanted her friends to get a
chance to try them. So she gave each girl a caramel. That night they all got a
treat, and Emma was glad she’d shared her favorite treat with her new friends.
