Special Education Students' Code: WOLF
Vocabulary: “Saving America’s Wolves”
1. apex predator (EY-peks PRED-uh-ter) noun; An apex is the top or highest point of something. The apex of a mountain is its peak. A predator is an animal that kills and eats other animals. An apex predator is at the top of a food web and is not preyed upon by any other animal. Sharks, grizzly bears, and wolves are examples of apex predators.
2. despise (dih-SPAHYZ) verb; Despise means “to strongly dislike and disapprove of someone or something.” Imagine you ask Ray if he wants olives on his pizza. He says, “Ugh. The mere sight of olives makes me shudder. I don’t like olives to be in the same room as my pizza!” You can conclude that Ray despises olives.
3. ecosystem (EE-koh-sis-tuhm) noun; An ecosystem is all of the living and nonliving things in a particular environment. A pond’s ecosystem, for example, includes the plants, animals, bacteria, and water in the pond, as well as the soil at the bottom of the pond and the sunlight and rainfall that the pond receives. Each part plays an important role in helping the system function.
4. endangered (ehn-DEYN-jerd) adjective; Endangered means “at risk of dying out.” Endangered is most often used to describe a species of plant or animal that is at serious risk of becoming extinct. One of the main reasons many species are endangered today is habitat loss.
5. hierarchy (HAHY-uh-rahr-kee) noun; A hierarchy is a system in which people or things are ranked according to their status, power, or importance. If Karen started out as a cadet in the army and now she is a general, she has moved up through the army’s hierarchy.
6. keystone species (KEE-stohn SPEE-sheez) noun; In a curved stone arch, the stone at the very center of the top is called the keystone. The keystone is the most important stone in the arch because if you take it out, the whole arch will become weak and might fall down. Keystone can be used to refer to the most important part of anything—the part that everything else depends on. A keystone species is a plant or animal that is necessary for an ecosystem to function; if you remove a keystone species, an ecosystem will drastically change or disappear altogether.
Keystone species are often predators or apex predators, but not always. For example, elephants are a keystone species. Because elephants eat and pull up small trees, grass is able to thrive. If you were to take away the elephants, the land would change in a big way: Instead of being grassy, it would become covered in trees and bushes. This change would affect many other plant and animal species in the ecosystem.
7. stalk (stawk) verb; To stalk is to slowly and quietly follow a person or an animal that you are hunting or trying to catch.
8. tranquilizer (TRANG-kwuh-lahy-zer) noun; The adjective tranquil (TRANG-kwil) means “peaceful, quiet, and calm.” The verb tranquilize (TRANG-kwuh-lahyz) means “to make or become tranquil.” The gentle tinkling of a wind chime might tranquilize your mind. A tranquilizer is a drug used to make a person or an animal calm, sleepy, or unconscious for a short time. If a bear is in a place that is not safe for it to be, a wildlife ranger might use a tranquilizer to put the bear to sleep so that it can safely be moved to another location.

Test Structures: “Text structure” is the term for how an author organizes information. Authors use different text structures to achieve different purposes, and one piece of writing often has multiple text structures.
1. Description or List Includes details to help you picture or get to know a person, a place, a thing, or an idea 2. Cause and Effect Explains why something happened (cause) and what happened as a result (effect) 3. Problem and Solution Presents a problem and explains how it is solved 4. Compare and Contrast Presents the similarities and/or differences between two items, such as a pair of events, time periods, ideas, or places 5. Sequence of Events Describes events in the order in which they happen (also called chronological order) |
Central Idea - A central idea of a text is one of the main points the author is making. (Sometimes a central idea is called a main idea.) A central idea can always be supported with details from the text.
A central idea is a main point that the author is making (also called a main idea or a key idea). In other words, a central idea is what the article is mostly about. You can think of a central idea as a thesis statement: one sentence that states what the article is about. A text could have more than one central idea. A central idea can always be supported with details from the text. HINT: When you search for central ideas, be sure to pay special attention to titles, subheadings, and the first and last sentences of each section. |

ALL WORK IS DUE ON FRIDAY AT MIDNIGHT - NO EXCEPTIONS
Assignment Name: Senior Letter
For this last assignment, you will be writing a letter to yourself which will be delivered to you your last week of school your senior year. I know that might seem like a long time away, but it will be here before you know it. There is no right or wrong way to do the assignment, but you must realize this is one of those assignments that you get out of it what you put into it. So, you want to think of this assignment as sort of like a mini time capsule.
I strongly suggest that you hand write your letter. It needs to be one page in length and it can literally be about anything. You decide. I will not be reading the letters as they will be sealed up in an envelope.
Here are some suggestions for your letter, but again, your letter can be whatever you want it to be.
How are you right now, describe yourself in detail.
What are your likes and your dislikes, is there anything you’re super passionate about?
Who is in your social circle? Do you see this changing over the course of high school?
Make some predictions about high school. What do you see yourself involved in? Sports, friends, teachers, activities, driving, first car, prom, job, graduation, the possibilities are endless.
Is there anything you would like to accomplish during your four years of high school?
What do you think your overall high school experience will be like?
Is there anything you’re really looking forward to?
Once you’re finished your letter, you need to seal it up and put it in an envelope.
On the outside of the envelope, in the upper left-hand corner you need to write Mrs. Adkerson.
Then on the front center of the envelope write your own name (first and last) and beneath that write Class of 2024.
Then you’ll need to bring the letter to the high school.
There is a file cabinet out front of the high school located in the overhang of door number 17. - If you’re standing at the front of the school looking at the front door, the file cabinet will be down on your right hand side where the front of the building meets the gymnasium. Just look for the big 17 written in white font on the door. Once you find door number 17, you’ll see the file cabinet. In the top drawer of the file cabinet there’s a mail slot. Simply push your letter through that top mail slot. I will gather all the letters and store them for you until your senior year.
We usually do this assignment on the last day of school here in the classroom, but unfortunately that can’t happen this year.
As a senior, you’ll really look forward to receiving your letter. Some of you won’t even remember that you even wrote one.
Let me know if you have any questions.
