Answer:

The topic you chose should be related to a particular aspect of school, and the topic should be clear. Here are a few examples of topics:

school policy regarding dress code

lack of proper equipment in gym

lack of adequate amenities

food choices in cafeteria

school policy on use of cell phones

frequent bullying by older students

Your story should have established a main character, which could be you, one of your classmates, or a fictional student. Or maybe you chose to write from the perspective of a teacher or other authority figure. You should have made sufficient use of hyperbole and other humor devices to present the satire. For example, say your story satirized bad food in the cafeteria. You could have included an exaggerated statement such as, "I tried cutting the piece of steak with my knife, but it seemed nothing short of a chainsaw would get through it." Your story also should have indicated how to change or correct the aspect that you chose to satirize. Maybe you directly suggested a change by including it as an actual event of your story, or you may have indicates it more indirectly through subtle language.

Answer:

The Grade 8 Core ELA Units take students through literary and nonfiction texts that explore

how individuals are affected by their choices, their relationships, and the world around them.

In Unit 1, Everyone Loves a Mystery, students will try to determine what attracts us to stories

of suspense. Unit 2, Past and Present, asks the Essential Question: What makes you, you?

Unit 3, No Risk, No Reward, asks students to consider why we take chances, while Unit 4,

Hear Me Out, asks students to consider the unit’s driving question—How do you choose the

right words?—by providing a range of texts that allow students to consider how a person’s

words can affect an audience. Next, Unit 5’s Trying Times asks students to think about who

they are in a crisis. Finally, students finish up the year with an examination of science fiction

and fantasy texts as they think about the question “What do other worlds teach us about our

own?” in Unit 6, Beyond Reality.

UNIT 1: EVERYONE LOVES A MYSTERY

Unit Title: Everyone Loves a Mystery

Essential Question: What attracts us to the mysterious?

Genre Focus: Fiction

Overview

Hairs rising on the back of your neck? Lips curling up into a wince? Palms a little sweaty? These are tell-tale signs

that you are in the grips of suspense.

But what attracts us to mystery and suspense? We may have wondered what keeps us from closing the book or

changing the channel when confronted with something scary, or compels us to experience in stories the very things

we spend our lives trying to avoid. Why do we do it?

Those are the questions your students will explore in this Grade 8 unit.

Edgar Allan Poe. Shirley Jackson. Neil Gaiman. Masters of suspense stories are at work in this unit, with its focus on

fiction. And there’s more: Alfred Hitchcock, the “master of suspense” at the movies, shares tricks of the trade in a

personal essay, and students also have the chance to read about real-life suspense in an account by famed reporter

Nellie Bly. After reading classic thrillers and surprising mysteries within and across genres, your students will try

their own hands at crafting fiction, applying what they have learned about suspense to their own narrative writing

projects. Students will begin this unit as readers, brought to the edge of their seats by hair-raising tales, and they

will finish as writers, leading you and their peers through hair-raising stories of their own.

Text Complexity

In Grade 8 Unit 1 students continue their development as critical thinkers at an appropriate grade level. Though this

unit focuses on the genre of fiction, it features both poetry and informational texts. With a Lexile range of 590-1090,

most texts in this unit are between 940L and 1010L, an accessible starting point for eighth graders. Additionally, the

vocabulary, sentence structures, text features, content, and relationships among ideas make these texts accessible

to eighth graders, enabling them to grow as readers by interacting with such appropriately challenging texts.

The last sentence that starts with "Today.." gives the reader the sense of mood and emphases death with black and white. I hope this helped.

NISA [10]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached.

The rhetorical device that is being used is ethos, the rhetorical device used to convince the audience using the emotions to persuade people.

The use of ethos affects the way the text is read and understood in that the author is including words and phrases such as " Denying hateful or historically ‘privileged’ voices a platform is thus necessary to make equality effective so that the marginalized and vulnerable can finally speak up—and be heard.”

These chosen ideas used by the author try to persuade the audience to create a kind of feeling and emotions that makes them react accordingly. That is the purpose of ethos.

Let's remember that the other two approaches are pathos and logos. Pathos uses the reputation of the speaker or author to try to convince the audience, while logos appeals to the reason, the logic, to explain something and convince the audience.
