Beyond the red brick of Ellis Island where the two Slovak children who became my grandparents 1 waited the long days of quarantine, after leaving the sickness, the old Empires of Europe, a Circle Line ship slips easily on its way to the island of the tall woman, green as dreams of forests and meadows waiting for those who’d worked a thousand years yet never owned their own. Like millions of others, I too come to this island, nine decades the answerer of dreams.

#5 What is biodiversity? Biodiversity or biological diversity is the number of living things in an area. An area with high biodiversity has many different species. Biodiversity makes an ecosystem stronger. An ecosystem is all the living and nonliving things in an environment. Sometimes, the number of species in an ecosystem decreases. It is a sign that the area might be in danger.

The Rise Of Conservation Biology Conservation biologists study life on the Earth. Their goal is to protect living things. In the 1980s, they began thinking about biodiversity. At the time, many plants and animals were dying out. People were cutting down rain forests. They were polluting the air and water. Many species were poisoned or lost their habitats. Edward O. Wilson is an American scientist. He said that biodiversity was important. It helps living things survive. In 2011, scientists said about 8.7 million creatures lived on Earth. Of these, about 9 out of 10 were not discovered yet.

Threats To Biodiversity The planet is experiencing a die-off. It is another term for a mass extinction. About 65 million years ago, dinosaurs died out. Today, scientists think there is another die-off going on. Plants and animals are disappearing much faster than normal. Scientists believe there are five main reasons. The first is habitat destruction. Humans cut down trees to make room for cities and farms. The trees are also cut down for lumber. When a habitat is destroyed, plants and animals are not able to survive. The second is climate change. It is the warming of the Earth. Up to 1 in 4 land creatures could die out by 2050 because of climate change. Many species can only survive in certain temperatures. If the temperature in their habitat changes, they could die out. The third reason is invasive species. These are plants and animals that have been brought to an area. In the 1800s, settlers brought new animals to Australia. Some of the animals killed native species. Others ate up all the native plants leaving less food for the native animals.

Deforestation is one way many important habitats are lost. In this photo, trees in Madagascar have recently been cut down.

Sometimes, a resource is used too much. This is called overexploitation. Overexploitation is the fourth reason for the die-off. The Maori are the native people of New Zealand. They hunted a bird called the moa. Eventually, that bird died out. A type of eagle also ate moa, and that eagle is now extinct. The fifth reason is pollution. Water pollution kills the oceans' coral reefs. The sea life in the reefs die out. Exhaust from automobiles is another kind pollution. So are chemicals that factories dump into rivers. Even fertilizers, pesticides and manures from farms can pollute the soil and water. Instagram Your Learning on the next page. đ&#x;˜Š

The brown tree snake is an invasive species in North America. When an invasive species is introduced to an area, an ecosystem can be damaged.

7th Grade- Week 5 Social Studies MONDAY TEXAS & CIVIL RIGHTS During the 1950s and 1960s, the Civil Rights Movement was in full swing across the United States, and Texas was no exception. Although there were many civil rights leaders in Texas, this week ‘s lessons will focus on two of those leaders.

Hector P. Garcia Hector P. Garcia was born in Mexico in 1914 and soon after moved to the United States with his parents. After growing up in Texas, Garcia graduated from college and medical school and became a doctor in 1940. That was only the beginning of Garcia’s accomplishments. Soon after Garcia became a doctor, World War II broke out. Garcia decided he could best serve his country by joining the Medical Corps of the United States Army. For his bravery in battle, Hector P. Garcia was awarded many medals, including the Bronze Star. After the war, Garcia returned home to Texas, where he was saddened by the way Mexican-American veterans were treated differently from white veterans. He learned that some Mexican-American veterans were denied medical treatment in veteran hospitals or burial in certain cemeteries because of their race. Garcia decided in 1946 to form an organization called the American GI Forum. The motto of the organization was, “Education is our Freedom, and Freedom Should be Everybody’s Business.” Garcia would use the American GI Forum to fight for benefits and equal treatment of veterans and minority groups across the country. Hector P. Garcia spent the rest of his life serving others. In addition to his civil rights work with the American GI Forum, Garcia used his medical practice to serve those who could not afford proper medical care. In 1984, President Ronald Reagan presented Garcia with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian award that can be given in the United States. Hector P. Garcia was the first Mexican-American to ever receive that award.

QUESTIONS: 1. How was this individual important in the fight for Civil Rights in Texas? 2. What group of people most directly benefited from this individual’s actions? 3. How does the legacy of this person’s actions still effect our way of life in Texas today?

Literary Analysis: Figurative Language Figurative language is language that is used imaginatively rather than literally. Figurative language includes one or more figures of speech, literary devices that make unexpected comparisons or change the usual meaning of words. Some types of figures of speech include the following. Simile: a comparison of two unlike things using like, as, than, or resembles Metaphor: a comparison of one thing as if it were another Personification: giving human characteristics to a nonhuman subject Also, writers often use figurative language to create a certain mood, or feeling, and to add meaning to their work by getting readers to think of something in a different way.

Practice: Read the following paragraph and answer the questions. With great effort, she opened the door. She couldn’t believe her eyes. Not only were the lights already on, but the place was spotless. The stress of the day began to fall off Carmel like leaves in autumn as she walked, amazed, through the place. Someone had mopped and waxed her kitchen floor, and even the lasagna encrusted dishes had been washed and put away. And was that the aroma of fresh-brewed coffee she smelled? She dropped into a chair at the kitchen table and exhaled as the first smile of the day took root and began to grow across her face. She didn’t know who was behind this, but whoever it was deserved a medal of honor. 1. The author creates a mood that is one ofa. happiness b. disappointment c. adventure d. excitement

2. The author includes figurative language in sentence 4 to: a. to show she was dropping things b to imply she was less stressed c. to illustrate the time of year d. to compare Carmel to a tree

7th Grade- Week 5 Social Studies WEDNESDAY TEXAS & CIVIL RIGHTS During the 1950s and 1960s, the Civil Rights Movement was in full swing across the United States, and Texas was no exception. Although there were many civil rights leaders in Texas, this week ‘s lessons will focus on two of those leaders.

James L. Farmer Jr. Civil rights leader James Farmer was born in Marshall, Texas, in 1920. He spent his childhood in Austin but returned to Marshall to attend Wiley College, where he joined the team of "great debaters" coached by legendary teacher Melvin Tolson. Though Farmer had intended to become a Methodist minister, Tolson's influence—and segregation within the church—led him to activism. In 1942, Farmer organized the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) in Chicago. A decade before the civil rights movement made headlines, CORE followed Gandhian principles of nonviolent direct action to fight racial discrimination. In 1961, CORE organized the Freedom Rides to desegregate bus travel. Farmer and twelve other activists, both black and white, faced violence and jail time as they rode from Washington, DC, to New Orleans. The Freedom Rides and the violence that erupted in response captured national attention. Blacks across the nation joined the civil rights struggle, as did whites in America and abroad. Within months, Attorney General Robert Kennedy issued an order banning segregation in interstate travel. Farmer later described the Freedom Rides as his "proudest achievement." CORE had pioneered the tactics that eventually dismantled segregation in the South. Farmer retired from CORE in 1966 and turned to government service and teaching. In 1998, the year before his death, he received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor.

QUESTIONS: 1. How was this individual important in the fight for Civil Rights in the United States?
