CommonLit: Your Food Choices affect Earth's Climate I need an extended response in a 8th grade writing level.

Answer:

Explanation:

Are you a meat-eater, vegan, or something in between? In this text, Janet Raloff discusses a study about how your diet can affect the Earth’s climate. As you read, take notes on the effects that the production of certain foods has on the environment.

Every action has a cost. That’s as true for driving a car as it is for growing food and delivering it to your dinner plate. A team of researchers has just tallied the costs of producing meat versus other types of foods for human diners. They find that meat production — from farm to fork — releases more climate-warming pollution that does producing fruits, vegetables, nuts and grains. A lot more.

Answer:

Every action has a cost. That’s as true for driving a car as it is for growing food and delivering it to your dinner plate.

“How can something that old be right here in Illinois?” Rob asked himself. He had been using the Internet to research lost civilizations for a history project. Rob found a place called Cahokia.




He was amazed to find that Cahokia was about two hours from his home! Between 20,000 to 40,000 people once lived there and built 120 mounds, yet researchers disagree about the purpose of the mounds. The Cahokia people disappeared and left behind no written records.




Rob read that long ago Cahokia covered 4,000 acres and was the largest city north of Mexico. Living there were farmers, hunters, craftsmen, traders, and priests. Most researchers think that the city was settled before the year 1000. What really surprised Rob was that everyone abandoned the city about 300 years later, about 100 years before Columbus or any other Europeans arrived in North America.




“Why would people build a big city and then abandon it?” Rob wondered. He was excited to tell his parents about what he had learned. They had heard about Cahokia but hadn’t been there. His mom suggested that they visit it the following weekend.




On Saturday morning, they stopped at the Visitor Center. A model of the ancient city showed the mounds and hundreds of homes. Next, Rob wanted to explore the huge Monks Mound, which was ten stories high. Rob wondered how many trips it took to haul enough dirt to make a mound that big.


Several flights of steps are built into the dirt mound.


The family climbed 156 steps to the top of the mound. The view was astounding. It was more amazing than Rob had expected.




“I can see parts of a wooden wall around the city,” Rob said. “Maybe the people who lived here were attacked and killed by their enemies.”




“Maybe,” his mom agreed. “The ruler of Cahokia probably lived on this mound.”




“But no one knows for sure that this ruler existed,” Rob said. “Why didn’t the Cahokia people leave behind any records?”




His dad explained. “Long ago, many groups didn’t have a written language, so they couldn’t record their history. Instead, parents told stories to their children, and the children told the same stories to their own kids. That’s how they tried to preserve their history, yet those stories are lost now.”




“That’s too bad,” Rob said, “because I’d really like to know more about the people who lived here. After all, they were our neighbors!”

Read this excerpt from "The Spirit of Alcatraz."

Protest leaders say the occupation led to new federal laws that recognized American Indian tribes and gave them more control over their daily lives. Additionally, the government decided to drop its plan to sell Alcatraz to developers. Today, the island is a National Historic Landmark that sees more than a million visitors each year.

But activists say their most important accomplishment was changing the way American Indians looked at themselves. As activist John Trudell puts it, "Alcatraz put me back into my community and helped me remember who I am. It was a rekindling of the spirit.”

Which statement best describes the author’s viewpoint?

Time spent on Alcatraz Island was wasted, because the demands of the American Indians were not met.
It was a dangerous mistake to spend so much time on Alcatraz Island, and it damaged the landmark.
American Indians influenced the US government and raised the spirit of their community by occupying Alcatraz.
Alcatraz Island is an important landmark that can best be handled by government officials.

We’re Going to Mars!

Human exploration of Mars is no longer the stuff of science fiction. The United States could very likely send its first delegation to the red planet in 2033. If SpaceX, a private company dedicated to space travel and exploration, has any say in it, humans will reach Mars as early as 2022. As amazing as this seems, studying Mars is expensive, difficult, and dangerous. The most important three questions are as follows: Why should we do it? How are we going to get there? How much will it cost?

Studying the evolution of other planets furthers our knowledge of our universe as well as our planet.

Today, Mars is too cold and the atmosphere is too thin for life to exist on the surface. However, evidence suggests that life may have existed in bacterial form billions of years ago. The planet must have been warm enough at one point to support life. Discovering what caused the change could help scientists better understand Earth’s climate. Also, studying sediments, rocks, and soils, as well as volcanoes and meteoroid impact sites, can help scientists study details of Earth’s evolution.

Exploring Mars could lead to colonization.

Settling other planets is the most attractive aspect of space exploration. It brings to mind entire galaxies filled with human outposts, discovering amazing landscapes and species, and possibly finding intelligent life similar to our own. Studying Mars is one of the first steps along the way. The benefits go well beyond the “wow” factor. Colonies would be able to reap raw materials—including electricity—on their planets and send them back to Earth. That’s right! Colonists could harvest the sun’s energy and send it to Earth in the form of electricity. Being able to farm renewable power will release humans from being too reliant on gas, coal, and nuclear energy.

Colonizing Mars goes beyond the practical rewards. It would be an important moment in the history of humanity, ranking up there with the discovery of “The New World” and the moon landing. It would require a lot of resources, money, and collaboration. Multiple countries could learn how to better our species. Some of the products we use every day were invented by NASA, including baby formula, water filtration, and cell phone cameras. The amount of technological innovation required for such an effort could benefit the world as well.

How will we do it?

NASA currently has plans to send a human mission to Mars by 2033. There are five phases, or steps.

Phase 0: has been going on since the main building of the International Space Station began in 1998. The experiments and collaboration with private space companies (such as SpaceX) are a major component of this phase.

Phase 1: requires that we build bigger and better spacecraft. This will transport the crew with all of the supplies it needs to survive.

Phase 2: Build a Deep Space Transport ​(DST)​ system. The ​DST​ system calls for creating vehicles that astronauts can live in during the two-year trip to Mars, as well as supply lines. This is a practice step of sorts. The system will be tested using missions to the moon.

Phase 3: Expand the ​DST​ system to Mars

Phase 4: Take a manned trip to the red planet.

If this sounds expensive, that’s because it is. Mars One, a private space exploration company whose mission is to establish a permanent human colony on Mars, estimates that it will cost $6 billion. SpaceX estimates that it will cost $10 billion per person. NASA’s costs are much higher. It thinks that such a mission would ultimately cost $1 trillion. Currently, NASA receives 0.5% of the national budget, or $22.629 billion, for all of its operations.

But don’t worry! Although the cost seems extremely high, Elon Musk, who owns SpaceX, thinks that the cost of moving to the moon will eventually be much less. Once everything is in place, the colonies are established, and deep space travel is normalized, someone could move to Mars for as little as $100,000.

“It gets to the point where almost anyone, if they saved up and this was their goal, could buy a ticket and move to Mars — and given that Mars would have a labor shortage for a long time, jobs would not be in short supply,” he said.

Question
In “We’re Going to Mars!” the author’s viewpoint is that travel to Mars is likely in the near future.

How is this viewpoint best conveyed in the text?

Kalil examined the math book. It had been badly treated. The cover was torn and it appeared to be missing some pages. Still, Kalil knew that looks were less important than utility. He had learned that lesson long ago. "Thanks, Mr. Thompson!" he said with gratitude. Mr. Thompson looked up from his desk and said, "Sorry we don't have new books, Kalil, but there's still plenty of good math left in that book." Mr. Thompson smiled. Kalil felt appreciative.
