Volcanoes have both negative effects and positive effects. The negative effects include death and destruction. Lava ows can destroy buildings, plants, and wildlife habitats. Mixtures of hot gas and ash can move quickly and are ver y deadly. Finally, volcanic ash can cause breathing problems or can cause houses to collapse. It can also damage jet engines. But there are positive effects of volcanoes as well. Some volcanoes are major tourist attractions. Moreover, volcanic eruptions can be benecial for farming because the ash from volcanic eruptions acts as a natural fertilizer. Finally, volcanic heat can be used to create electricity.

Igneous rock is formed by volcanoes. There are two types of igneous rock: intrusive rock and extrusive rock. Intrusive igneous rock is formed when magma cools and hardens under the earth’s surface. Granite and diorite are examples of intrusive rock. Granite is a ver y hard rock used to make buildings and gravestones. Diorite is a hard rock used to make cobblestone streets. Extrusive igneous rock is formed when lava cools and hardens on the earth’s surface. Basalt and pumice are examples of extrusive rock. Basalt is rich in iron and used to make roads and statues. Pumice is very light because it contains thousands of tiny bubbles and it is often used to remove dead skin from people’s feet.

Volcanic eruptions have caused new natural landscapes. An example of this is the Giant’s Causeway in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. An Irish legend says that Fingal, a giant from Scotland, came to Ireland to ght with an Irish warrior, Finn McCool. Finn McCool was much smaller than Fingal, so he pretended to be his own baby. This scared Fingal, and the Giant’s Causeway was destroyed when he ran away. Scientists, however, know that the area where the Giant’s Causeway is located experienced heavy volcanic activity 50 to 60 mill ion years ago. Columns formed as a result of a lava plateau hardening and cracking. It became a popular tourist attraction and is still known for its beautiful scenery.

Extra Idea for Vocabulary Practice (optiona l): Scramble for Words
LESSON GUIDE Before Reading
Prepare small cardboard cards with the unit’s keywords, their meanings, and their synonyms. Half of the cards should have vocabulary words written on them, and half should have their meanings or synonyms written on them. Spread all the cards out on the oor and have a student come over and pick out two cards that match.
1) Have the students turn to the title page of Chapter 1 and read the chapter title, the Think BIG question, and the Lesson 4 question (other lesson questions are also an option). Brainstorm answers to these questions all together. Any response is desirable, so do not limit the students in their answers. Some of the following guide
After picking the cards out, have the student go up to the board and stick the two cards next to each other. Continue the activity until there are no cards left on the oor. Review the vocabulary words and their meanings or synonyms with the students after the activity is nished.

As each group or pair presents the ideas from their lesson, write them on the board for more effect. Also, encourage the students to use as many keywords as possible when they write or speak.

2) If the students have nished all their work, look through the “Extra Idea” and speaking activities suggested in each lesson and pick out one or two for the class to do. These are useful since they are fairly easy but still help the students practice their keywords, reading, and passage comprehension.

Pele, goddess of re, made her older sister angr y and was chased to Hawaii. Pele settled on Mauna Loa Mountain on the Big Island. One day, Pele turned into a spirit and visited Kauai. She fell in love with Lohi‘au, but she had to return to the Big Island. She told Hi‘iaka to go to Kauai and bring Lohi‘au to her. Hi‘iaka promised to discourage Lohi‘au if he became attracted to her, and Pele promised not to destroy Hi‘iaka’s favorite grove. It took so long to bring Lohi‘au, that Pele thought Hi‘iaka had broken her promise. Pele was angry, so she sent a ood of lava to burn down Hi‘iaka’s grove and kill Lohi‘au. That’s why it was traditionally believed that Pele caused volcanic eruptions in Hawaii.

Absorption – takes light in / different colors of light Reection – bounces off objects / a rough surface / a smooth surface Refraction – moves from air to water / has two par ts Step 2
When light hits an object, the object can absorb the light, reect it, or refract it. When an object takes light in, it is called absorption. Different colors of light are absorbed by different objects. Reection takes place when light bounces off objects. When light hits a rough surface, it scatters. If light hits a smooth surface like glass or metal, it reects a mirror image. Light bends instead of bouncing if it passes from one substance to another. It can occur when li ght moves from air to water. It can make a solid object look like it has two parts because of refraction.

Seurat was a painter during the impressionist movement. Impressionist Impressionist artists used light to show the changing effect of light in nature. Seurat wanted to use science to show light and color in his art. Seurat’s A Sunday on L a Grande Jatte is made of colored dots. It has more than three million colored dots. This painting style became known as pointillism. With pointillism, colors are not mixed on the canvas. Instead, the human eye blends colored dots that are close together into different tones. This allows more light into paintings and makes colors look brighter. A Sunday on La Grande Jatte is now a famous masterpiece.

board and draw a picture associated with a keyword from the unit. Have the class guess what the word is. The person that correctly guesses the word must use it in a sentence. Continue until all the keywords have been used.
Objectives 1. Students will review the information from each lesson using the concept map. 2. Students will apply what has been learned about the chapter topic by completing a project worksheet on it. 3. Students will practice the keywords that they have learned in this chapter.
LESSON GUIDE Chapter 2 Wrap-up 1) Have the students turn to the Chapter 2 Wrap-up on p. 61. Remind them of the chapter’s topic (“Light”).
2) The idea of the concept map is to solidify all the information that the students have learned in whatever way the teacher prefers. One recommended way is to have the students brainstorm either individually or in pairs and write down any and all ideas that they remember from each lesson. Another way is to divide the class into four groups and have the groups review one lesson each and present it to the class. Your job is to facilitate the conversation in each group and answer any questions that come up. As each group or pair presents the ideas from their lesson, write them on the board for more effect. Also, encourage the students to use as many keywords as possible when they write or speak.

Step 2
Extreme fears of a certain thing or situation is called a phobia. Phobias commonly develop after a person has a particular scary experience. Later, a part of the brain called the amygdala stores the memory. Then a strong reaction is triggered by similar situations. Phobias make the person feel afraid of potential danger. Phobias create fear that interferes with the person’s daily life. Social phobia, for example, makes it hard to make friends. And claustrophobia, which is being afraid of compact spaces, can make it impossible for someone to ride i n an elevator. However, phobias can be overcome by facing them gradually, talking to a doctor, or taking medicine.

What – tiny bumps on the skin / its feathers have been plucked When – get a chill or feel scared How – connected to the hairs / the hairs stand up Why – had more body hair / it trapped air / look bigger and scarier Step 2
Goosebumps are tiny bumps on the skin. The name came from the skin looking like a bird’s skin after its feathers have been plucked. Goosebumps form on our skin when we get a chill or feel scared. There are tiny muscles under our skin that are connected to the hairs on our body. When the muscles contract, bumps form and the hairs stand up. In the past, humans had more body hair. When this hair stood up, it trapped air and kept them warm. And i n dangerous situations, it made them look bigger and scarier. Getting goosebumps may have been benecial to our ancestors, but it’s not useful to us now.

Background – people across Europe / death comes to everyone Painting – turning away from God / an army of skeletons / everything in i ts path Music – an old French superstition Step 2
By the mid-1300s, millions of people across Europe had been killed by the Black Death. Around that time, the Dance of Death genre emerged as an artistic reminder that death comes to everyone. In 1493, Michael Wolgemut painted The Dance of Death as a warning to German society about turning away from God. Later, Pieter Bruegel the Elder painted another grim work, The Triumph of Death, which portrays an army of skeletons killing and destroying everything in its path. Composers have also created works in the Dance of Death genre. Camille SaintSaëns’s Danse Macabre, for example, represents an old French superstition about dancing skeletons.

Sinkholes form when heavy rain occurs in places where a layer of sand and clay covers limestone. As the rain passes through the sand and clay, it absorbs chemicals. It then causes cracks and spaces in the limestone to expand. Finally, the limestone collapses. Sinkholes can swallow up cars and buildings, and ooding can also occur. To prevent sinkholes, cities should avoid construction in areas where sinkholes occur. Also, better drain systems should be built to keep these areas dry, and limestone can be treated to prevent it from dissolving.

There are about 6,000 to 7,000 languages in the world. Languages can change or become extinct over time. Language is dependent on society, so social changes can cause languages to change. New words can be added because of new inventions and technologies. A language becomes extinct when the l ast speaker of that language dies. The Bo language and a Scottish dialect called Cromarty both recently became extinct. Some people are working to preserve l anguages. For example, Google is trying to save endangered languages from becoming extinct with their Endangered Languages Project website.

The Copiale Cipher is a secret German document that is 105 pages long and contains 75,000 characters. The characters consist of Greek, Roman letters, and abstract symbols. It was written by a secret group called the Oculists. The Oculists were a secret society in Europe. The manuscript contains initiation rituals for people who wanted to join the Oculists.

An American linguist named Benjamin Whorf believed people who speak different languages think and see the world differently. He came up with the SapirWhorf hypothesis in the 1950s. Lera Boroditsky is a psychologist who ran a series of experiments to test Benjamin Whorf’s ideas. From her experiments, she found evidence that language affects thought. However, not all agree with the hypothesis. It is hard to study and record thought, so a perfect test of the hypothesis does not exist. But maybe one day, the perfect test will exist as technology and research become more advanced.

them to be practical and creative. Then have each student demonstrate their hand signals to the class and explain what they mean in their own words.
Objectives 1. Students will review the information from each lesson using the concept map. 2. Students will apply what has been learned about the chapter topic by completing a project worksheet on it. 3. Students will practice the keywords that they have learned in this chapter.
LESSON GUIDE Chapter 4 Wrap-up 1) Have the students turn to the Chapter 4 Wrap-up on p. 117. Remind them of the chapter’s topic (“ Language”).
2) The idea of the concept map is to solidify all the information that the students have learned in whatever way the teacher prefers. One recommended way is to have the students brainstorm either individually or in pairs and write down any and all ideas that they remember from each lesson. Another way is to divide the class into four groups and have the groups review one lesson each and present it to the class. Your job is to facilitate the conversation in each group and answer any questions that come up. As each group or pair presents the ideas from their lesson, write them on the board for more effect. Also, encourage the students to use as many keywords as possible when they write or speak.

2) The purpose of these project worksheets is to encourage the students to creatively make or do something related to the chapter topic. For Chapter 4, the end result will be a secret letter from each student in a code that they make up. Have the students follow the steps on the worksheet to work their way up to the nished project. Offer advice and answer questions as needed. For lower levels, you may want to do the project yourself before class to show the students as an example.
3) After the students have nished their projects, have them briey present their worksheets to the rest of the class. This helps the students practice their spoken English and encourages them to share their creative ideas more freely.
Other Ideas and Activities 1) Any time left over in this review class may be used at the teacher’s discretion. One recommendation is to complete any lesson comprehension questions, vocabulary review, or workbook homework that the students have not nished already.
2) If the students have nished all their work, look through the “Extra Idea” and

Origin – using hand signals in baseball / as early as the late 1880s William Ellsworth Hoy – understand the umpire’s calls / used by other players and umpires Today – do not understand them / understood by everyone Step 2
Hand signals are an important part of baseball. Umpire Bill Klem is given credit for using hand signals in baseball in 1905 . But actually, a player named William Ellsworth Hoy rst used hand signals as early as the late 1880s. Hoy was deaf and needed hand signals to understand the umpire’s calls. Soon after, hand signals started to be used by other players and umpires. Today, teams try to keep their hand signals secret so that other teams do not understand them. However, umpires’ hand signals are supposed to be understood by everyone.
