Writing Topic
1 Your teacher has asked you to write a composition about a time that you helped someone.
Before you begin to write, think about a time that you helped someone. Why did the person need your help? What did you do to help?
Now write a story about a time you helped someone.
• Your composition should have at least one paragraph.
• Give enough details and information so the reader will understand what you did to help someone.
• Be sure to write clearly.
• Check your writing for correct spelling, punctuation, and grammar.
Use the space below to plan your composition. Write your rough draft on pages 2 and 3 of this book. Write your final draft on pages 1 and 2 of your Answer Document.

PRACTICE OnEPART OnE: Writing
Directions: Read the topic in the box below and write a well-organized composition of about one to two paragraphs. Be sure to follow the suggestions listed under the box. For Part One only, you may use a dictionary and a thesaurus, along with the Writer’s Checklist.

Suppose you want to find information about birds for a report you are writing. Three different sources of information about birds are contained in Part Two. The information sources and the page numbers where you can find them are listed below.
1. From the Book Our Feathered Friendsa. Table of Contents (page 5)b. Glossary (page 5)
2. From the Magazine Louisiana Wildlife‘‘Louisiana’s Brown Pelican” (page 6)
3. From the Encyclopedia of BirdsBird Feathers chart (page 7)
Note: Model bibliographic entries for different types of documents are found on page 8.
Directions: Skim pages 5 through 7 to become familiar with the information contained in these sources. Remember that these are reference sources, so you should not read every word in each source. Once you have skimmed through these sources, answer the questions on pages 9 and 10. Use the information sources to help you answer the questions. As you work through the questions, go back and read the parts that will give you the information you need. Mark your answers on page 3 of your Answer Document.

Introduction: In this session, you will read four passages. Then you will answer questions about what you read. This session of the test contains both multiple-choice and short-answer questions.
Read this French Louisiana folktale about Jean Sot. Then answer questions 2 through 8.
Jean Sot and the NeedleThis is a story that every parent told every child in my family for as far back as
anyone can remember. Once there was a very foolish boy by the name of Jean Sot. Jean had a good heart, but it seems like he was always in trouble for one thing or another. You see, Jean didn’t have much common sense. For example, one day his mother sent him out to deliver some tubs of butter from the family’s farm in southern Louisiana. Jean noticed that the ground was all dried and cracked. The drought had lasted for quite some time and farm families such as his were getting impatient as they waited for rain. As he walked, the cracked ground reminded Jean of his lips when they got chapped. Jean’s mother always rubbed butter on his lips when they got chapped. This made his lips feel better, so Jean did what he thought he ought to do. He opened the tubs and smeared that creamy butter all over the cracked earth to make it better.
On another day, Jean’s mother asked him to borrow a sewing needle from one of their neighbors. Mama had some mending to do and couldn’t find her needle. Jean, ever helpful as always, jumped up to do his mother this favor. He scurried out to the barn and hitched the family’s ox to their wagon. Then he rode down the dusty road to their neighbor’s farm, which was several miles distant.
When Jean returned, his mother waited and waited for him to bring the needle into the kitchen. After a while, she went out to the wagon and asked, “Jean, did you get the needle as I asked?”
Jean replied, “Oui, Mama. I got the needle and tossed it in the back of the wagon. I’m just having some trouble finding it.”
Jean’s mother strode around to the back of the wagon and gasped. The wagon was full of hay. It was no wonder that Jean couldn’t find the needle! Patiently she explained to Jean that the next time he went to borrow something like that, he should pin it to his shirt. That way it wouldn’t get lost.
It wasn’t too much later when Jean’s father sent his son to fetch a plow that he’d left in a field quite a ways from home. Jean again hitched up the ox and wagon and set off on his errand. Hours later he returned, but the plow was not in the wagon, and Jean was covered with blood. His mother and father rushed out to find out what disaster had happened to their son. Jean apologized to his mother, “I’m sorry, Mama. I tried to do what you told me. I tried to pin that plow to my shirt, but I just couldn’t make it stay there!”
