Coatis are raccoon-like mammals native to South and Central America. Many people find them cute, and tourists have made a habit of offering the coatis food. Coatis realize that it is easier to seek out tourists than to search the forest for bugs. Like humans, they prefer junk food to what they should be eating. For their part, tourists do little to discourage the animals. After all, a coati drinking soda makes for a great vacation photo. Scientists, however, say that coatis and humans do best when they stay away from each other.

Use the text of the opinion piece, "What's for Lunch," and your completed graphic organizer to answer the question below. Include evidence from the article to support your answer. Do you think this author has an agenda? If so, what is it? If not, what is the purpose of her article? Does she achieve her purpose?
What’s for Lunch?
Marcia Amidon Lusted
Zachary Maxwell was tired of trying to explain to his parents why he wanted to bring lunch to school instead of eating hot lunch. They couldn’t understand why he didn’t want to eat the gourmet food described on the school’s online menu, which sounded both nutritious and interesting. Zachary just couldn’t convince them that the food wasn’t as great as it sounded. So in the fall of 2011, he began sneaking a small video camera into the cafeteria at his school, to show his parents what the lunches were really like. Six months and 75 school lunches later, Zachary made a documentary film about his lunch called Yuck: A 4th Grader’s Short Documentary About School Lunch.
Truth in Advertising?
"The city’s Department of Education says that it’s committed to providing ‘delicious and nutritious meals’ through their food service program. But the lunch being served at my school was nothing like what they were advertising on their web site," Zachary, now 11, says in the documentary’s trailer. "I told [my parents] that’s not what they were actually serving me," he said. "But I don’t think they believed me." For example, an "oven-baked pizza bagel with tricolor salad" was really nothing more than a slice of pizza and a wisp of lettuce. Sometimes there was no connection between the menu and what Zachary actually got. "Cheesy lasagna rolls with tomato basil sauce, roasted spinach with garlic and herbs" was, in reality, just a plastic-wrapped grilled cheese sandwich, all alone on a foam plate.
"When I came back home and showed them the footage, they were like, ugh!" Zachary said. His dad, an amateur filmmaker, started helping Zachary transform his video footage into a film. It won several awards, and Zachary also made appearances on television shows like Good Morning America.
Not Perfect, But Better
Let’s face it: many times school lunches just aren’t going to taste as good as they sound. Students also complain that with lunches that follow the new school lunch guidelines, there just isn’t enough food. Smaller portions, more fruits and veggies, and fewer calories leave some kids, especially teenagers, still hungry after eating their lunch. A group of students in Kansas even wrote a music video called "We Are Hungry," where they sing about their stomachs growling after lunch and how they’re collapsing on the sports field because they haven’t eaten enough.
However, the new federal lunch guidelines do mandate meals that are better for students, with less sodium, more whole grains, fewer calories, and more fruits and vegetables, as well as skim or 1 percent milk. These are a definite improvement over school lunches of not that many years ago, which once stuck with fare like burgers, French fries, and chicken nuggets. Some schools even allowed fast food outlets like McDonald’s and Pizza Hut to operate mini-restaurants in their cafeterias, or supply their products for students. Many schools have also reconsidered vending machines filled with sugary sodas, candy, and chips, replacing them with water and healthy snacks.
Answer:
Yes, the author of this article has an agenda. Her goal is to raise awareness of the unhealthy and unsatisfactory food that is served in school cafeterias and encourage parents and schools to make a change. She provides evidence to back up her claims, such as Zachary's story and the Kansas student's music video. She also acknowledges the improvements that have been made, such as the new federal lunch guidelines and the replacement of unhealthy snacks with healthier options. By citing examples and providing evidence, she successfully demonstrates that better food options are needed in school cafeterias.

Explanation:
The Ornithopter
Many people know Leonardo da Vinci today as an artist, and it is true that he was indeed a great painter and sculptor, but he was also an inventor and one of the first individuals in recorded history to draft detailed plans for a flying machine.
In order to make a living, Leonardo often depended upon wealthy individuals who would commission work from him. That means they would hire him and pay him to create specific work they wanted. In 1482, when he was 30 years old, Leonardo heard of an opportunity to work for Ludovico Sforza, the Duke of Milan. The duke, however, did not want a painter; he wanted a military engineer to help him defend the city against its enemies. This was an excellent opportunity that would pay Leonardo well, but Leonardo was a peaceful man. He considered war to be “a beastly madness.” He preferred to make things of beauty.
Leonardo made the decision that he could tolerate making weapons if the resources the duke could provide would also allow him to create things he loved. He sent a letter to the duke detailing his skills in designing and building weapons. “I will assemble catapults, mangonels, trebuchets and other instruments of wonderful efficiency…I will make an infinite number of items for attack and defense,” he wrote.
Leonardo’s letter convinced the duke of his talents, and he got the job. He set about designing the weapons that the duke desired. But Leonardo was infinitely creative, always thinking of new things, new ideas—he could not be limited to weapons alone. One idea that he had not mentioned in his application was the ornithopter. It was not a weapon of war, and it was not something that the duke had asked for, but Leonardo went ahead and designed it anyway.
Leonardo was fascinated by the idea of flight. The word “ornithopter” comes from two words meaning “bird” and “wings.” And on first inspection, his plans resembled a bird’s wings attached to a human being’s arms. He concluded that a human being’s arms were neither strong enough nor light enough to stay in the air for long. So, his design included sets of foot pedals and levers that were operated with the hands. He created detailed plans and presented them to the duke, uncertain of how the duke would react to a design for which he didn’t ask.
As it turned out, the duke was very impressed with the ornithopter, but it wasn’t Leonardo’s innovation that excited him. He immediately thought of the ways this machine could be used in war. If a spy could fly over the enemy’s camp, imagine what information he could gather! This was not what Leonardo had intended for his beautiful flying machine.
But how Leonardo felt about war turned out not to matter in the end. His ornithopter was never built—along with his designs for tanks, parachutes, diving suits, machine guns, and even robots that he created for the duke. The ideas of Leonardo da Vinci were centuries ahead of the technology needed to make them.

There is 2 questions answer in complete sentences: 1. What is the central idea of: From Storytelling Book Introduction by Josepha Sherman? 2. Review the quoted words in paragraph 6. How do the words and ideas of the expert add to the author's points about storytelling? HMH.(learning tool for English.) 6th grade.
Story:
1. Once Upon a Time . . .
. . . there was a story. Story openings take many forms: “once there was,” “once there was not,” “once, in the long-ago days,” and many others. But no matter what shape the opening words take, the result is always the same—listeners are hooked.
2. Once a story has begun, there is something deep within the human psyche that must hear what will happen next. The pull of the story is universal. There is no known culture without some form of storytelling, and the craving to know “what comes next” has been felt by every human being, regardless of age, gender, culture, or century.
3. Storytelling is present in many aspects of human life. Stories are told by grandparents, parents, and other family members. Professional storytellers share their tales at fairs, festivals, schools, libraries, and other sites. Stories are integral to the mediums of television, film, opera, and theater, and storytelling sessions sometimes take place in the business world at special meetings. Campfire tales are meant to make campers shiver. And urban legends, contemporary folktales that usually are attributed to a “friend of a friend,” are told and retold. No matter how unlikely the tale may be, the teller invariably insists, “It’s true! ”
Why Tell Stories?
4. The real question may be how can one not tell stories. Every conversation is rife with information-packed stories of what the teller has been doing recently. People share stories they have heard from others, retell stories they have read, and even rehash things they have seen on television. Anyone who chooses to formalize this sharing takes on the role of the “storyteller.”
5. The most wonderful gift of a story is the bonding of a group. Held close under the spell of a story, the group breathes as one. The shared experience softens the edges between individuals and brings everyone closer in the warmth of the moment. Together, the members of the group enter a “story trance.” Storytellers benefit, in turn, as they experience the heartwarming feeling of holding the audience’s attention and nurturing the group by sharing a beloved tale.
6. Many stories also serve the community in a broader sense. All societies use stories to pass on group values. Wrapped in the sweet pill of an entertaining story, a moral goes down easily. Stories also can be useful tools that allow individuals to chastise or expose negative behaviors without overtly speaking the truth. The Liberian storyteller Won-Ldy Paye related how Anansi spider stories have been used to “say without saying” in front of a chief. If the chief has behaved greedily, the storyteller shows Anansi in this incorrect behavior. Everyone knows whom the storyteller is talking about. The chief hears, and he knows, too.
7. Many families draw “catchphrases” from their favorite stories, with which they can quickly refer to a story in the course of their daily lives. A phrase, such as “It doesn’t take long to look at a horseshoe,” can bring family members back to the original story, as well as remind them of the moral of the tale.
8. Communities and families also may wrap their history in stories to remember details of events long past. A moment in time can be preserved by creating a story and telling it a few times. The story format bundles the facts into a neatly tied packet that is more readily stored and retrieved than many separate details.
9. Stories also help to broaden awareness of other cultures. The folktale genre, in particular, reflects many traditions and helps to familiarize people with world cultures.
10. Stories also can be used for educational purposes. Stories can help to develop a child’s literary sensibilities, and listening to tales impresses a sense of story structure into a child’s mind. Stories aid in stretching vocabulary and children who can tell stories often gain the advanced verbal ability and an increased sense of self-worth.
11. Storytelling provides other growth opportunities, as stories help listeners to see through another’s eyes and to share the protagonist’s feelings of anger, fear, or love—all from a safe place. The Austrian-born American writer and child psychologist Bruno Bettelheim explained that stories are important to children because battling difficulties through a story can help them face real-life troubles. Stories provide role models who show us how to face demons and overcome adversity.
12. Perhaps best of all, stories stretch the imagination. The teller takes the listener to distant places where remarkable things happen. And once stretched, an imagination stays stretched.
After reading the text about storytelling, we can answer the questions as shown below, mentioning the central idea and how the quotes in paragraph 6 add to the points.
The central idea of "From Storytelling Book Introduction" by Josepha Sherman is that storytelling is a universal human experience that has many benefits, including bonding individuals and groups, passing on group values and history, broadening awareness of other cultures, aiding in educational development, and stretching the imagination.The quoted words from the expert in paragraph 6 add to the author's points about storytelling by providing an example of how stories can be used to chastise or expose negative behaviors without overtly speaking the truth. The Liberian storyteller Won-Ldy Paye's Anansi spider stories have been used to say without saying in front of a chief, allowing everyone to understand the intended message without explicitly calling out the chief's behavior.What is storytelling?Storytelling is a universal form of communication that has been present in human cultures since ancient times. It involves the sharing of narratives, whether true or fictitious, through oral, written, visual, or digital means.
In the text under analysis here, the author explains that storytelling is a crucial part of any culture. that is the central idea of the text. In paragraph 6, the author mentions that storytelling may have a purpose, such as teaching values or exposing negative behaviors in a way that says without saying, that is, that talks about something implicitly.
With that in mind, we can conclude the answers we provided above are correct. However, they are just examples, so feel free to edit them and adapt them to your own writing style.

Write a sentence to the illustrate each verb mood.
(Indicative)
(Imperative)
(Interrogative)
(Conditional)
Answer:
Indicative
Indicative indicates a state of factuality or states something that is happening in reality. Most sentences in English are written in the indicative mood. For example, the sentence - The dog jumps into the car - simply states what is really happening in the present moment.
Imperative
Imperative is a command. A way of remembering this is to think of your parents saying, 'It is imperative that you do your chores.' This is not a suggestion, a statement about what is going on, or a question. It is a direct command, telling you what to do.
Most people know someone who is pretty bossy and demanding. He or she might say imperative sentences all the time, like:
Interrogative
Interrogative asks a question. A great way to remember the term 'interrogative' is to think of an interrogation room where a suspect is asked a series of questions.
Conditional
Conditional depends on something else to happen under certain conditions. A way to remember this is to think of the phrase 'If this, then that.' The conditional often uses words like might, could, and would.
The baby might cry if you pick him up.
Subjunctive
Subjunctive is a wish or hypothetical and is contrary to reality. An easy way to recall the definition for subjunctive is to think: What if? The subjunctive mood is uncertain and may never happen, unlike the conditional mood. The subjunctive is rarely used compared to the other moods we've discussed, but it's still important to be able to identify, use and understand
