Excerpt from Changing the Curriculum Natalie Stewart
In the hot, stuffy meeting room, cheers and applause broke through the oppressive air. Teachers and faculty members were
sitting around several large tables, looking up at Randall with admiration. Randall was relieved that the meeting was over.
His thoughts drifted back to the start of the school year.
Randall's fourth period English class seemed to drag on forever. The assigned reading list his teacher had handed out in the
beginning of class was a huge disappointment to this book lover, the curriculum was stale like week-old bread. After
analyzing the list at the dinner table, his parents remarked that they had read many of the books assigned to Randall's class.
Teachers were subjecting today's students to a thirty-year-old reading list! This didn't make any sense to Randall. Though he
understood the value of classical literature, Randall felt that the curriculum needed a better balance of old and new.
The author uses words like stuffy, oppressive, and stale in order to
A)
make the scenes more realistic.
B)
add to the sense of excitement.
C) to make the article more colorful.
D)create sympathy for Randall’s cause.

"don't write down any information about your location or the number of soldiers in your unit because the censors will cut all of that away," i said.
