APPLIED PRACTICE from A to Z

Supplemental Curriculum • Integrated Test Preparation

Applied Practice English from A to Z is a skills-based series designed to help students learn to analyze language and to think critically, becoming astute readers, writers, and thinkers This vertically aligned teaching curriculum weaves together stimulating classroom instruction with standardized test preparation. Available for Middle School Pre-AP, High School Pre-AP, AP Literature, and AP Language courses, these series utilize examples from classic and modern literature to teach topic-based lessons. Each volume contains lessons and activities for a specific unit of study within an overall Pre-AP or AP course curriculum. Both individual and group assignments are included for a more flexible and diverse learning experience. Foundations for Pre-AP middle school classrooms teaches middle school students basic AP terminology and helps them recognize purpose and tone in various literary genres, build vocabulary, use specific word choices and write strong sentences, and analyze literature.

uilding Blocks for Pre-AP 9-10 grade B classrooms instructs students in identifying and analyzing the basic elements of fiction and nonfiction genres such as tone, figurative language, and more.

ASSIGNMENT 9: VERB CHOICE GROUP PRACTICE The choice of specific, appropriate verbs is an important use of diction in writing. Many students have not had much practice in using a variety of verbs, but it is important that you learn to use a variety of specific, descriptive verbs in your writing. The use of specific rather than broad words can influence the effectiveness of the work. Consider the following example: I found my father sleeping at his desk and had to cover up my laugh. (no specific or colorful verbs)

Language Edition for AP*/IB/Honors Language and Composition Courses guides 11–12th grade students in their understanding of rhetorical devices encountered in nonfiction genres and helps them develop analytic writing skills.

An improved version of the same sentence might read: I stumbled upon my father dozing at his desk, but I was able to muffle my giggles so that no one heard. (much better) Notice how much more information the second sentence provides through its use of precise verbs. The following assignment is designed to help you recognize effective, vivid verbs and to help you use them in place of vague verbs in your own writing. Each person in your group will be assigned one or more verbs. Work together with the other members of your group to complete the following: 1. Using a thesaurus and/or a dictionary, find a minimum of four closely related verbs for each of your words. 2. Define each word. 3. Arrange the words in an intensity chart, ranging from least to most. Some verbs with similar meanings may be about the same in intensity. 4. Then write five sentences, each incorporating one of these five words in a context which uses the specific word appropriately.

Literature Edition for AP*/IB/Honors Literature and Composition Courses guides 11–12th grade students in analyzing stylistic elements found in fiction genres and helps them develop their personal writing style.

EXAMPLE: (intensity is measured on a 1 to 3 scale, with 3 being the most intense.) EXAMPLE DEFINITIONS: sleep - to rest in a suspension of consciousness during which the body is rejuvenated slumber – to sleep in a state of dormancy nap - to sleep briefly, especially in daytime snooze - to nap doze - to sleep lightly

Reading Selection 2 Read the following selection from Book VIII of The Odyssey and choose the best answer to each question. 1

Supper was then served, and the wine was mixed for drinking. A servant led in the favorite bard Demodocus, and set him in the midst of the company, near one of the bearing-posts supporting the cloister, that he might lean against it. Then Odysseus cut off a piece of roast pork with plenty of fat (for there was abundance left on the joint) and said to a servant, “Take this piece of pork over to Demodocus and tell him to eat it; for all the pain his lays may cause me I will salute him none the less; bards are honored and respected throughout the world, for the muse teaches them their songs and loves them.”

The servant carried the pork in his fingers over to Demodocus, who took it and was very much pleased. They then laid their hands on the good things that were before them, and as soon as they had had enough to eat and drink, Odysseus said to Demodocus: “Demodocus, there is no one in the world whom I admire more than I do you. You must have studied under the Muse, Zeus’ daughter, and under Apollo, so accurately do you sing the return of the Achaeans with all their sufferings and adventures. If you were not there yourself, you must have heard it all from someone who was. Now, however, change your song and tell of the wooden horse which Epeus made with the assistance of Athene, and which Odysseus got by stratagem into the fort of Troy after freighting it with the men who afterwards sacked the city. If you will sing this tale aright, I will tell all the world how magnificently heaven has endowed you.”

would only sing if they were fed well

only sang about events they had seen

would sing better if given fat, roasted pork

D were inspired by the gods and the Muse ___________________________________________________________________ 3

The bard inspired of heaven took up the story at the point where some of the Argives set fire to their tents and sailed away while others, hidden within the horse, were waiting with Odysseus in the Trojan place of assembly. For the Trojans themselves had drawn the horse into their fortress, and it stood there while they sat in council round it, and were in three minds as to what they should do. Some were for breaking it up then and there; others would have it dragged to the top of the rock on which the fortress stood, and then thrown down the precipice; while yet others were for letting it remain as an offering and propitiation for the gods, and this was how they settled it in the end, for the city was doomed when it took in the Argives waiting to bring death and destruction on the Trojans. Anon he sang how the sons of the Achaeans issued from the horse, and sacked the town, breaking out from their ambuscade. He sang how they overran the city hither and thither and ravaged it, and how Odysseus went raging like Ares along with Menelaus to the house of Deiphobus. It was there that the fight raged most furiously, nevertheless by Athene’s help he was victorious.

It can be inferred that Odysseus’s opinion of whether or not Demodocus sings this tale aright (paragraph 2) will be based mainly on Odysseus’s judgment of the song’s — A

All this he told, but Odysseus was overcome as he heard him, and his cheeks were wet with tears. He wept as a woman weeps when she throws herself on the body of her husband who has fallen before his own city and people, fighting bravely in defense of his home and children. She screams aloud and flings her arms about him as he lies gasping for breath and dying, but her enemies beat her from behind about the back and shoulders, and

One suggestion is to have her seem to always “tremble and fear.” Greek goddess of Love and Beauty Perhaps she is the definition or ideal of beauty for ancient Greeks. Implements suggest literacy. Perhaps the equal size and stature represents a partnership or equality in a business deal. She left a situation and was brought back under force. No one intervened. This is a painting created long after the event took place.

Questions 34-37 refer to the following experiment.

Questions 39-40 refer to the graph below, which resulted from the following experiment. The DNA of a group of mammalian cells was labeled with a fluorescent dye, and then the cells were divided into two groups and plated out on culture media. At the time point indicated by “A” in the figure, platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) was added to culture 1, but not to culture 2. The average intensity of fluorescence per cell for both cultures was plotted against time in the graph below.

Two cell lines that have a mutation which does not allow them to respond normally to a hormone that binds to, and acts through, a plasma membrane receptor, have been isolated from human tumors and are being grown in tissue culture. Normal cells, cultured under identical conditions, respond to the exogenous application of the hormone by turning a tumor suppressor gene on as pictured above. In an attempt to narrow down where, in the signal transduction cascade for activation of this gene, each mutant cell line is blocked, each culture was subjected to a number of treatments. The hormone was applied to the culture media, but IP3 and Ca+2 were injected directly into the cytoplasm of the cells. The results of the following treatments on the gene’s activity are presented in the following chart.
