Day One: Vocabulary and Summarization : 

Day One: Vocabulary and Summarization What causes a person to bully another? No one factor can compensate for every bully, but it’s usually a compilation of effects that results in the psychology of the bully. Many argue that genetics and upbringing play equal roles. Earlier in humanity’s prehistoric past, the alpha mentality served survival, yet today’s society has mostly grown beyond the need to dominate for continued existence. These traits can be suppressed and rechanneled into productive activities like competitive sports, the workplace, or even personal hobbies. Innate bullying aggression is easier to overcome than years of being raised in an atmosphere devoid of empathy and saturated domestic hostility. 9 19 28 37 45 53 62 70 77 84 93 102 104

Day OneVocabulary : 

Day OneVocabulary Scary is the word I use to describe what nineteen al-Qaeda terrorists did to our country, and the world, with a little planning, support, and the will to carry out the machinations of a mad man hell bent on devastating our way of life. I wish I could stand here today and tell you that the following years have made me feel safer, but that would make me a liar, and that, I am not. A nine year old can’t comprehend the ramifications of such an atrocity. I wasn’t old enough to appreciate what the word “terrorist” meant. But I know now. The job of a terrorist isn’t to destroy property or kill civilians. No, a terrorist’s main goal is to sow fear and as much as possible. This deadly crop creates distrust and promotes coercion. They want us to bend to their wills or suffer more, and the fear in our collective consciousness draws back at possible further attacks and we ask ourselves, “what more could they do?” Well, I’m here to tell you: terrorists haven’t even scratched the surface. 13 28 42 58 75 88 100 102 116 130 143 155 167 169 181 60 seconds

Day ThreeReading Comprehension and Summarization : 

Day ThreeReading Comprehension and Summarization The 1984 Rajneeshee bioterror attack was the food poisoning of more than 750 individuals in The Dalles, Oregon, United States through the deliberate contamination of salad bars at ten local restaurants with salmonella. A leading group of followers of Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh (now known as Osho) had hoped to incapacitate the voting population of the city so that their own candidates would win the 1984 Wasco County elections. The incident was the first bioterrorism attack in the United States, and the single largest bioterrorist attack in United States history. The attack is one of only two confirmed terrorist uses of biological weapons to harm humans. The chosen biological agent was Salmonella enterica Typhimurium, which was first delivered through glasses of water to two county commissioners, and then delivered on a larger scale at salad bars and in salad dressing. Seven hundred and fifty-one people contracted salmonellosis as a result of the attack, of whom 45 were hospitalized. There were no fatalities.

Day FourPersuasive Writing (Cause and Effect) : 

Day FourPersuasive Writing (Cause and Effect) Cause and effect are two different concepts. Using one or the other depends on what part of a situation you want to stress. Stating the causes and/or effects of a topic is helpful in persuading readers to make a decision about a topic. Causes tell readers why something happened. For example, numerous stolen bikes on campus cause students to register their bikes. Smoking causes lung cancer. Typing for many hours causes carpal tunnel. Effects are the results of something. For example, fifty new bike racks were put on campus with funding from registered bikes. Twelve hundred smokers die every year from lung cancer. Carpal tunnel is now discussed in many employee training programs.
