Inspired by both his Muslim faith and his Indian heritage, he founded the Interfaith Youth Core with a Jewish friend in Chicago in 2002 and later served on President Obama’s Advisory Council on Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships. This essay is from his Washington Post blog The Faith Divide. This entry was adapted from his Freshman Convocation Address at George Washington University on the tenth anniversary of 9/11.

I wonder if a similar feeling prompted Moses Sessius, the leader of the Hebrew Congregation of Newport, Rhode Island to write George Washington a letter shortly after he assumed the Presidency. It was a letter essentially asking whether Sessius and his people—Jews—would be safe in this new nation, or if they would be hounded and hated, blamed for crimes they did not commit. In his response, Washington put on paper words that I think still define the essence of our nation: “The Government of the United States . . . gives to bigotry no sanction, to persecution no assistance, requires only that they who live under its protection should demean themselves as good citizens.” demean: to behave in a particular manner 3 9_LNLEWS087699_C1S1.indd 3 2/5/2013 5:09:38 PM ⠕⠕ In the Close Reader, new and additional texts, linked in topic and form to anchor texts, provide opportunities for students to apply and practice close reading strategies with challenging content. 4 hmhco.com/collections 5 Teach the Thinking Required for Text Analysis DO NOT EDIT--Changes must be made through “File info” CorrectionKey=A Keep Students Engaged and Encouraged Collections helps you to speak to today’s digital learners in a language—and through activities—they understand.

Prowess is the strength and courage someone has. ©Houghton Mifflin Harcourt 20 As thousands of gulls soared over the island, Icarus soon collected a huge pile of feathers. Daedalus then melted some wax and made a skeleton in the shape of a bird’s wing. The smallest feathers he pressed into the soft wax and the large ones he tied on with thread. Icarus played about on the beach happily while his father worked, chasing the feathers that blew away in the strong wind that swept the island and sometimes taking bits of the wax and working it into strange shapes with his fingers. It was fun making the wings. The sun shone on the bright feathers; the breezes ruffled them. When they were finished, Daedalus fastened them to his shoulders and found himself lifted upwards, where he hung poised in the air. Filled with excitement, he made another pair for his son. They were smaller than his own, but strong and beautiful. Finally, one clear, wind-swept morning, the wings were finished, and Daedalus fastened them to Icarus’s shoulders and taught him how to fly. He bade him watch the movements of the birds, how they soared and glided overhead. He pointed out the slow, graceful sweep of their wings as they beat the air steadily, without fluttering. Soon Icarus was sure that he, too, could fly and, raising his arms up and down, skirted over the white sand and even out over the waves, letting his feet touch the snowy foam as the water thundered and broke over the sharp rocks. Daedalus watched him proudly but with misgivings. He called Icarus to his side and, putting his arm round the boy’s shoulders, said, “Icarus, my son, we are about to make our flight. No human being has ever traveled through the air before, and I want you to listen carefully to my instructions. Keep at a moderate height, for if you fly too low, the fog and spray will clog your wings, and if you fly too high, the heat will melt the wax that holds them together. Keep near me and you will be safe.” He kissed Icarus and fastened the wings more securely to his son’s shoulders. Icarus, standing in the bright sun, the shining wings dropping gracefully from his shoulders, his golden hair wet with spray, and his eyes bright and dark with excitement, looked like a lovely bird. Daedalus’s eyes filled with tears, and turning away, he soared into the sky, calling to Icarus to follow. From time to time, he looked back to see that the boy was safe and to note how he managed his wings in his flight. As they flew across the land to test their prowess before 80 setting out across the dark wild sea, plowmen below stopped their work and shepherds gazed in wonder, thinking Daedalus and Icarus were gods. Father and son flew over Samos and Delos, which lay on their left, and Lebinthus,1 which lay on their right. Icarus, beating his wings in joy, felt the thrill of the cool wind on his face and the clear air above and below him. He flew higher and higher up into the blue sky until he reached the clouds. His father saw him and called out in alarm. He tried to follow him, but he was heavier and his wings would not carry him. Up and up Icarus soared, through the soft, moist clouds and out again toward the glorious sun. He was bewitched by a sense of freedom and beat his wings frantically so that they would carry him higher and higher to heaven itself. The blazing sun beat down on the wings and softened the wax. Small feathers fell from the wings and floated softly down, warning Icarus to stay his flight and glide to earth. But the enchanted boy did not notice them until the sun became so hot that the largest feathers dropped off and he began to sink. Frantically he fluttered his arms, but no feathers remained DO NOT EDIT--Changes must be made through “File info” to hold the air.

In the 1970s, war and conflict caused many of the Hmong people in Laos to flee to refugee camps in Thailand. Author Kao Kalia Yang (b. 1980 ) was born in one of these camps.

We needed a new home—the apartment was too small. There was hardly room to breathe when the scent of jasmine rice and fish steamed with ginger mingled heavily with the scent of freshly baked pepperoni pizza—Dawb’s favorite food. We had been looking for a new house for nearly six months. It was in a poor neighborhood with houses that were ready to collapse—wooden planks falling off, colors chipping away, sloping porches—and huge, old trees. There was a realty sign in the front yard, a small patch of green in front of the white house. It was one story, with a small open patio and a single wide window framed by black panels beside a black door.

Ray Kurzweil (b. 1948) is a well-known futurist, as well as an inventor, a writer, and an expert on artificial intelligence. In the 1970s, he developed the first machine that translated text into speech, and he has been a pioneer in the field of speech recognition technology. In “The Coming Merging of Mind and Machine,” Kurzweil makes some astonishing predictions about the future of artificial intelligence. The Coming Merging of Mind and Machine Argument by Ray Kurzweil Image Credits: (t) ©The Boston Globe/Getty Images; (b) ©Lobke Peers/Shutterstock To support a claim, authors develop and refine their ideas throughout the text. An author may use a particular sentence to develop a claim, or use an entire paragraph or larger section of the text to develop a claim with reasons and evidence. S ometime early in this century the intelligence of machines will exceed that of humans. Within a quarter of a century, machines will exhibit the full range of human intellect, emotions and skills, ranging from musical and other creative aptitudes to physical movement. They will claim to have feelings and, unlike today’s virtual personalities, will be very convincing when they tell us so. By around 2020 a $1,000 computer will at least match the processing power of the human brain. By 2029 the software for intelligence will have been largely mastered, and the average personal computer will be equivalent to 1,000 brains. Once computers achieve a level of intelligence comparable to that of humans, they will necessarily soar past it. For example, if I learn French, I can’t readily download that learning to you. The reason is that for us, learning involves successions of stunningly complex patterns of interconnections among brain cells (neurons) and among the concentrations of biochemicals known as neurotransmitters that enable impulses to travel from neuron to neuron.

Write down any questions you generate during reading. 10 In “A Quilt of a Country,” Anna Quindlen presents an argument about how America works as a country. An argument presents a claim, or position, on an issue and supports it with reasons and evidence. To evaluate the strength of Quindlen’s argument, you must delineate, or describe in detail, these elements: • Identify the claim, or Quindlen’s position, on the issue. • Look for the reasons Quindlen uses to support her claim. Reasons should be valid and logical. • Evaluate whether the evidence Quindlen cites for each reason is credible, or believable, and relevant to the claim. Evidence can include facts, statistics, examples, anecdotes, or quotations. • Look for counterarguments, which are statements that address opposing viewpoints. Does Quindlen anticipate opposing viewpoints and provide counterarguments to disprove them? “Students have told me how rushed they are to gather materials from their lockers for their next classes.” 569 DO NOT EDIT--Changes must be made through “File info” CorrectionKey=A More time should be given to students to transition between classes.
