Body paragraph- Along with educational wise, therapeutic has impacted society significantly. Video games have helped people with ADHD in such a great way. As stated in (source) it says "Playing games helps ADHD patients to keep their minds focused on a task."

Read the following excerpt from "Fold Here: Scientific Uses for an Ancient Art Form." As you read, look for the topic sentence.

One of the most exciting areas to explore the uses of origami today is robotics. Scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, have created PUFFER, a "Pop-Up Flat Folding Explorer Robot" that can accompany rovers exploring other planets. According to a press release from the National Science Foundation, this light-weight, two-wheeled robot is "designed to skitter up 45-degree slopes, investigate overhangs and even drop into pits or craters." Because of PUFFER's compact nature, several separate units can piggyback on a single space rover.

HELP!

Avoid plagiarism and reword the following two paragraphs about The Corn Laws of 1815. (rewording the 1st para. is not necessary)


In reality, these laws passed by parliament were only beneficial to the parliament members since most of them were landowners. They wanted to earn more profit from increased corn prices and not having to buy corn which they can cultivate on surplus land and sell it themselves. However, since most of the old England lived in cities, they had no land to grow the vegetable and relied on buying goods. This is why parliamentary officials were unwilling to revise the law.


In 1828, the Duke of Wellington’s government revised the Corn Laws and they made a sliding scale for the weight-to-price of the corn. This revision still did not help the residents of old England since the price was still high.

How is being wise different from being smart? (5 sentences)

1. Identify the important words and phrases. 2. Eliminate minor details. 3. Paraphrase central ideas and details. 4. Summarize in your own words. Review the steps of summarizing. Use your notes to write a brief summary of the interview of Miep Gies.

The last survivor who helped Anne Frank and her family hide from the Nazis has died. Miep Gies was 100. After the Franks were discovered and deported, it was Gies who found and preserved Anne's diary.

DEBORAH AMOS, Host:

Back in 1998, NPR's special correspondent Susan Stamberg visited a woman in Amsterdam and asked her a simple question.

SUSAN STAMBERG: How do you say diary in Dutch?

AMOS: Dagboek.

STAMBERG: Dagboek? Oh, daybook.

AMOS: Yes. Daybook.

STAMBERG: Dag?

AMOS: Yes.

STAMBERG: Boek.

AMOS: Boek.

STAMBERG: Is diary.

AMOS: That woman is Miep Gies. The diary she's referring to is Anne Frank's. Miep Gies helped Anne Frank hide with her family during World War II and saved Anne's diary after she and her family were captured by the Germans. Gies died yesterday at the age of 100. Teri Schultz has this remembrance.

TERI SCHULTZ: Providing refuge to Jews, she noted later, carried a punishment of at least six months in a concentration camp. Still, the Austrian-born Dutch woman, knighted by the governments of Germany and the Netherlands, recipient of a medal from Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum, always insisted she had done nothing extraordinary.

AMOS: I, myself, I'm just a very common person. I simply had no choice. I could foresee many, many sleepless nights and a life filled with regret if I would have refused to help the Franks. And this was not the kind of life I was looking for at all.

SCHULTZ: Gies explained another motivation for emphasizing her modesty. She said if people are allowed to think it takes remarkable qualities to act boldly on behalf of others, few will attempt it.

AMOS: People should never think that you have to be a very special person to help those who need you.

SCHULTZ: But Gies clearly was very special, even when someone still unknown betrayed those she called the hiders and they were taken away at gunpoint to death camps. Gies was not intimidated. She sneaked back into the secret hideaway to try to preserve any belongings of the Franks that hadn't been destroyed or taken. And there she found what would eventually become a treasure of the entire world.

AMOS: I saw Anne's diary scattered all over the floor. I took it with me. I hoped I could return it to Anne after the war. I wanted to see her smile and hear her say, Oh Miep, my diary.

SCHULTZ: That day would never come, as Anne did not survive the Nazi death camps. But Otto Frank did. And he made his way back to Amsterdam in 1945 returning to stay with Gies and her husband. On the very sad day that year that he learned both his daughters had died in a camp, Otto Frank later explained in a documentary, Gies delivered him what he called a miracle.

AMOS: When I returned and after I heard the news that my children would not come back, Miep gave me the diary.

SCHULTZ: Gies described that moment herself years ago in an interview with the Anne Frank Museum in Amsterdam.

AMOS: (Foreign language spoken)

SCHULTZ: For NPR News, I'm Teri Schultz.

Developing Robot Brains
Scientists have been working on how to build robot brains that develop in the same way as human brains. In the past, scientists have tried to copy human brains exactly. The trouble is, there is still so much that scientists do not know about how human brains work. But a group of scientists at Michigan State University have developed a new plan. They are using nature as an example to follow for robots. We know that things change and adapt in nature. These scientists want to make robots that can change and adapt, too. The robots would learn to do tasks over time. The goal is to have robots with brains that develop like human brains do, over many years.One task this team of scientists worked on was to get robots to enter and exit a room. This action is easy for humans to complete, but not for robots. The scientists used a math equation to program the robots on this task. They created a program where the robots had to work on the task in connection with other robots. The robots watched each other and took on special roles for the task. This made them more successful. Then, the robot brains that worked the best on a task were the models used for future brains. This is very much like what happens in nature. A characteristic that works well for an animal gets passed on to its babies.Overall, this group of scientists thinks that following what happens in nature is the key to creating robots that can think like humans. The robot brains will start young, like humans. Robots will learn and explore for many years. Then they will develop higher intelligence and understanding. This is very much like how human brains develop!

Problem Solving with Peanuts and Sweet Potatoes
For years, farmers in Alabama grew cotton and nothing else. As a result, farmers had damaged fields that could no longer cultivate crops. The fields broke down from planting the same thing year after year. Then, in 1914, a pest called a boll weevil destroyed crops. The solution to this problem came from George Washington Carver, an African-American scientist and inventor. He discovered that the soil in Alabama grew peanuts and sweet potatoes well. Carver suggested that farmers grow peanuts and sweet potatoes to help the soil.


This plan worked. Farms began producing peanuts and sweet potatoes. However, not many people bought these foods. Farmers struggled to earn a living. Carver responded to this situation with more research. He wanted farmers to keep planting these crops. He experimented and made products from peanuts and sweet potatoes. Carver made 300 other things from peanuts, such as flour, milk, ink, and dye. He made about 100 products from sweet potatoes, including glue and ink. By 1940, peanuts became the second leading crop to make money in the South. Carver changed how cotton was grown and made many other crops important to the South.

what is the main conflict in tell-tale heart

Her hardest hue to hold
Her early leaf's a flower

The leaf subsides to leaf
So Eden sank to grief
So dawn goes down to day
Nothing gold can stay.
