QAR – Copy the question and all four choices on loose leaf then use QAR to answer the question. Don’t forget to use color to show evidence in the text.
#3) Based only on subtitles, which is the BEST summary of the article?
A. Movie theater snacks are expensive, but they help the theater stay in business.
B. The snack business hates it when people break the rules and buy expensive gummy bears and soda.
C. Theater snacks are expensive and unhealthy, so some people believe it’s ok to sneak snacks.
D. Theater snacks are expensive, but they help the theater stay in business, so it’s a good idea to think before you decide to break the rules.

EXTRA CREDIT (from the pink Lowrey School February newsletter)
On loose leaf, neatly copy the whole poem. Make sure the right words are on the right lines.
In class, find the poem in the ELA Lit book.
Look at the picture.
Bring in a similar picture from your house to attach to your loose leaf.
Be ready to read the poem to me before or after school or during lunch WITH NO MISTAKES!
Please make sure you are bringing ALL your supplies every day.
HW:
Read and annotate the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society letter about raising money for young people who are struggling with cancer.
It wouldn’t hurt to research any of the vocabulary that you are not sure about.
From paragraph 3 – “Your child will learn about service, leadership and philanthropy and how they can change patients’ lives.”
My annotations:
HMMMMMM. “Your child” is singular so “they” should be “he or she”.
I would guess most 7th graders don’t know what “philanthropy” means.
Neatly copy the paragraph that matches your prediction into your composition book page #4. Then use three colors to underline or highlight the CLAIM, EVIDENCE, and REASONING.
This is a final copy so do not skip lines and please use your BEST handwriting.
FALCONS
The Atlanta Falcons will beat the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 51. In the article it says, “The club has never had a quarterback quite as good as Ryan, though” (NEWSELA, 2). Since Ryan is the best quarterback that the Falcons have ever had, then they have a good chance of winning. The text says, “He led past Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers 44-21” (NEWSELA, 2). If they can blow out a team that has Aaron Rodgers on their side then they can definitely beat the Patriots. The Patriots are going to be crushed by the Falcons in Super Bowl 51.
PATRIOTS
The Patriots will DESTROY the Falcons. In the article it states “New England opened the season with a 3-win, 1-loss record while playing without Brady” (NEWSELA, 2). This proves Brady’s absence didn’t stop the Patriots. The article also states “The 39 year old Brady threw for three touchdowns. It was the ninth time he had done that in a playoff game” (NEWSELA, 2). This proves Brady is a boss, and he is ready to beat the Falcons. With Brady, the Patriots will demolish the Falcons.
