Model
During the summer of 1964, a thousand
college students, most of them white, went south to join a
campaign called Freedom Summer, a major drive to register
black voters. The young men and women also established
Freedom Schools, which helped educate poor blacks and
prepare them for the difficult literacy tests they had to pass
in order to register to vote. The organizers of Freedom
Summer hoped that the presence of white workers would
bring attention to their cause. Source: from Martin Luther King, Jr.:

R E A D I N G
Did you mention... that when taking notes or recording quotes
for a research paper or a book report, students should always
keep track of their sources? It is much harder to go back and
reconstruct sources of information or quotes than to record
a source when it is fi rst identifi ed.
Taking Notes5.
Academic and Study Skills
• Use graphic organizers
Literature
• Read a variety of texts, including expository writing
L I S T E N I N G A N D S P E A K I N G E X T E N S I O N
Standard: Restate and carry out a variety of multistep
oral instructions
Explain to students that following oral directions and taking
notes from a presentation require them to organize and
summarize key ideas. When listening to oral instructions or
information, students should:
1. Practice taking notes by noting key ideas.
2. Summarize spoken directions and be able to paraphrase them.
3. Carry out oral instructions in the correct order.
Restate the basic elements of note-taking and have students
record the main ideas you present.

Key Words Details
Marsupials
Kangaroos, koalas, possums, Tasmanian devils, and wallabies are
all marsupials. Marsupials are a special kind of mammal. They keep
their young in pouches or sack-like structures on their abdomens.
They are mostly found in Australia, Tasmania, New Guinea, and the
Americas. The mothers give birth early to live young. In fact, the
birth is so early that marsupial infants are undeveloped. Some types
of marsupials are only an inch long at birth. The newborn crawls
into its mother’s pouch and stays there, suckling on its mother, until
it develops—sometimes for weeks or even months.

Two types of resources exist on Earth: renewable and nonrenewable. Renewable resources can be quickly replenished. They include sunlight, air, and water. Nonrenewable resources cannot be replaced, or take a very long time to replace. In the United States, over 90 percent of the energy people use comes from nonrenewable resources, such as petroleum, natural gas, and coal.
