We usually do a fun activity this time of the year for Earth Day. This year our teacher assigned us a class project to help save the world. I wanted to work on something to help families recycle their trash. I started doing my research at the library when I saw a book titled: Save The Sea Turtle: An Endangered Animal. I sat there for at least 15 minutes looking through the beautiful pictures and reading about how the sea turtle was endangered (they are about to disappear/only some left). I read that they would soon be extinct (they would be all gone) if we do not do something to help save them. My heart sank when I read this. That was when I knew what I would do for Earth Day. I decided to conduct more research on this topic. I found different organizations and decided to write to them to ask what I could do to help. After a few days, I received a call from a lady named Jackie, from Sea World. We spoke for 30 minutes, and she invited my family to visit and learn more about these endangered species. I told my teacher, and she was extremely proud of my dedication to this project. After visiting Sea World and conducting a few weeks of research, I was ready to present my project to my class. I had created brochures, posters, and a presentation to get everyone involved. I even had approval to start the “Save the Sea Turtles Fundraiser” at my school. The most important thing Jackie told me was that awareness would help these creatures and many others that are endangered. Many more people are now aware of these beautiful creatures and will join in the fight to save them.

Select the correct text in the passage. which two lines in this excerpt from shakespeare's romeo and juliet foreshadow the tragic fate of romeo and juliet? friar laurence: so smile the heavens upon this holy act, that after hours with sorrow chide us not! romeo: amen, amen! but come what sorrow can, it cannot countervail the exchange of joy that one short minute gives me in her sight: do thou but close our hands with holy words, then love-devouring death do what he dare; it is enough i may but call her mine. friar laurence: these violent delights have violent ends and in their triumph die, like fire and powder, which as they kiss consume: the sweetest honey is loathsome in his own deliciousness and in the taste confounds the appetite: therefore love moderately; long love doth so; too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.

In just over one hundred years, between 1701 and 1810, 252,500 enslaved africans were brought to barbados—an island that occupies only 166 square miles (making it, today, one of the smallest countries in the world). the english then set out to conquer more sugar islands, starting with jamaica, which they took from spain in 1655. in the same period that the 252,500 africans were brought to barbados, 662,400 africans were taken to jamaica. thus, sugar drove more than 900,000 people into slavery, across the atlantic, to barbados and jamaica—and these were just two of the sugar islands. the english were eagerly filling antigua, nevis, saint kitts, and montserrat with slaves and sugar mills. they took over much of dutch guiana for the same reason. seeing the fortunes being made in sugar, the french started their own scramble to turn the half of the island of hispaniola that they controlled (which is now haiti), as well as martinique, guadeloupe, and french guiana (along the south american coast near dutch guiana), into their own sugar colonies, which were filled with hundreds of thousands more african slaves. by 1753, british ships were taking average of 34,250 slaves from africa every year, and by 1768, that number had reached 53,100. –sugar changed the world, marc aronson and marina budhos how do the authors use historical evidence to support their claim? x(a) they use secondary sources to show how french and english monarchs were indifferent to enslaved people. x(b)they use secondary sources to show that enslaved people often fought for their freedom after arriving in the caribbean. the answer is: (c)they use facts from primary sources to show how countries increased the number of enslaved people to produce more sugar. x(d)they use primary source interviews to show that countries could make more money in trading sugar without using enslaved people.
