For easier reference, topics are organized into categories. Although some topics may overlap categories, they will only be placed under one heading.

READING / LITERATURE

Scrutiny Signs - there are six Scrutiny Signs that we use for reading narrative text.  When readers come across one of these signs, they should pause and scrutinize (read with careful attention).  Scrutiny Signs are often helpful in identifying important aspects of  literary elements within a novel.  While annotating novels, finding a Scrutiny Sign indicates an important passage. There are six Scrutiny Signs:  Contrasts and Contradictions, Aha Moment, Tough Questions, Words of the Wiser, Again and Again, and Memory Moment

1. Contrasts and Contradictions - a character says or does something that contradicts what he has been saying or doing all along in a novel, or the words or actions may be in contrast to expected behavior.

One of the six Scrutiny Signs that we use for reading. Contrasts and Contradictions provides insight into plot, conflict, character development, or theme. It may also foreshadow future events. Upon finding Contrasts and Contradictions in text, a good reader should ask, “Why is the character doing that?”

Example - “You gonna take me to jail?” asked the boy, bending over the sink. “Not with that face, I would not take you nowhere,” said the woman. “Here I am trying to get home to cook me a bite to eat, and you snatch my pocketbook! Maybe you ain’t been to your supper either, late as it be. Have you?”... “ ‘Then we’ll eat,’ said the woman. ‘I believe you’re hungry - or been hungry - to try to snatch my pocketbook!’ ” - excerpt from “Thank You, Ma’m” by Langston Hughes         

2.  Aha Moment - suddenly a character realizes, understands, or finally figures something out in a novel.

One of the six Scrutiny Signs that we use for reading. An Aha Moment provides insight into conflict, character development or theme. Upon finding an Aha Moment  in text, a good reader should ask, “How might this idea or revelation change things?”

Example - “So here he comes strolling, whistling, gawking, buttoning, dorking up the sidewalk, onto my sidewalk, my property, and all of a sudden I knew what I had to do, like there was a big announcement coming down from the sky:  Don’t let him pass.” - excerpt from Crash             

3. Tough Questions - when the character asks himself a really difficult question.

One of the six Scrutiny Signs that we use for reading. Tough Questions provides insight into theme, internal conflict and character development. Upon finding Tough Questions in text, a good reader should ask, “What does this question make me wonder about?”

Example - “ As Salva walked, the same thoughts kept going through his head in rhythm with his steps. Where are we going? Where is my family? When will I see them again?” - excerpt from A Long Walk to Water         

4. Words of the Wiser  - a wiser and older character takes a main character aside and gives serious advice in a novel.

One of the six Scrutiny Signs that we use for reading.  Words of the Wiser are advice or insight about life that an older and wiser character offers to a main character.  Words of the Wiser may hint to the theme of the novel. Upon finding Words of the Wiser in text, a good reader should ask, “What is the life lesson, and how might it affect the character?”

Example - “Every time you fall, you learn somethin’ new ‘bout your horse.  You learn what not to do next time.”  excerpt from Riding Freedom         

5. Again and Again - a word, phrase, object or situation is mentioned over and over in a novel.

One of the six Scrutiny Signs that we use for reading.  Again and Again often provides insight into characters, plot and sometimes theme. Upon finding Again and Again in a text, a good reader should ask, “Why is the author repeating this?” or “Why does this word, idea, or action keep showing up?”

Example - “Divorce.  Secrets.  No, not secrets so much as just the Secret.  What he knew and had not told anybody, what he knew about his mother that had caused the divorce, what he knew, what he knew - the Secret.  Divorce.  The Secret.”  excerpt from Hatchet                                                

6. Memory Moment - the author interrupts the action to tell a memory.

One of the six Scrutiny Signs that we use for reading. A Memory Moment provides insight into theme, conflict and character development. It may also foreshadow future events. Upon finding a Memory Moment in text, a good reader should ask, “Why might this memory or recollection be important?”

Example - “Each time she told me, ‘Hon, leaving you with Addie was the best thing I could have done for you. You need constants in your life.’ She had a different hair color each time she said it.”

Cumulus clouds that do not get very tall are indicators of fair weather. If they do grow tall, they can turn into thunderstorms. The bottom of cumulus clouds are fairly close to the ground. |


Stratus clouds look like flat sheets of clouds. These clouds can mean an overcast day or steady rain. They may stay in one place for several days. |


Cirrus clouds are high feathery clouds. They are up so high they are actually made of ice particles. They are indicators of fair weather when they are scattered in a clear blue sky.

Nimbus is another word associated with clouds. Adding “nimbus” means precipitation is falling from the cloud. |

Cumulonimbus clouds are the “thunderheads” that can be seen on a warm summer day and can bring strong winds, hail, and rain. | aL


Nimbostratus clouds will bring a long steady rain.

Snow is water vapor that changes directly from a gas to a solid – it does not go through a liquid phase. Snow forms as tiny crystals. Depending on the temperature at which it forms, it may look like a star, a plate or a needle.

Sleet is liquid water that freezes before it hits the ground. It looks like small pellets of ice. | Freezing rain is rain that freezes after it hits the ground. As the rain continues to freeze, it can become very heavy on tree limbs and power lines

Hail

Hail is water that gets caught in strong upward moving winds. The water will freeze, then start to fall, with more water attaching to the hailstone. This can get sent back up into the freezing air several times. Each time it goes up, a layer of ice is formed. Once the hail is too heavy or the strong upward winds weaken, the hail will fall to the ground. While most hail is small, some hailstones can be as big as softballs.

Water is present as a liquid and as a gas in the atmosphere. When water is a gas, it is called water vapor. You can’t see water vapor in the air, because water molecules are very small. When water is a liquid, you can see it in the form of clouds. It can also fall from the sky as precipitation.
The amount of water vapor in the air is called humidity. The amount of water vapor the air can hold depends on the temperature of the air. Warm air can hold more water vapor, while cold air cannot hold as much.

Relative Humidity

Dew on grass
We describe how much water vapor is in the air by using the term relative humidity. Relative humidity tells us how much water vapor is in the air, compared to how much it could hold at that temperature. It is shown as a percent. For example, a relative humidity of 50 percent means the air is holding one half of the water vapor it can hold. Again, this is all dependent on the temperature.
