1 Cold-Read Task Read Legacy from The Dust Bowl. Then answer the questions. 1. Part A Read paragraph 3 of Legacy. Then the drought began. It would last eight straight years. Dust storms, at first considered freaks of nature, became commonplace. Static charges in the air shorted-out automobiles on the road; men avoided shaking hands for fear of shocks that could knock a person to the ground. Huge drifts of dirt buried pastures and barnyards, piled up in front of homesteaders doors, came in through window cracks and sifted down from ceilings. What aspect of the drought does the writer emphasize in this paragraph? a. The author emphasizes how long the drought lasted. b. The author emphasizes how the drought caused people to be afraid to shake hands. c. The author emphasizes how the drought affected some people s decision to leave. d. The author emphasizes the unusual nature and severity of the dust storms that occurred because of the drought. Which sentence best describes the method the author uses to elaborate on the statement chosen in Part A? a. The author uses descriptive details. b. The author uses statistics. c. The author uses examples. d. The author uses anecdotes (stories).
2 2. Part A Read paragraphs 5 and 6 of Legacy. In 1944 just as it had thirty years earlier, a war in Europe and the return of a relatively wet weather cycle brought prosperity to the southern Plains. Wheat prices skyrocketed, and harvests were bountiful. In the first five years of the 1940s land devoted to wheat expanded by nearly 3 million acres. The speculators and suitcase farmers returned. Parcels that had sold for $5 an acre during the Dust Bowl now commanded prices of fifty, sixty, sometimes a hundred dollars an acre. Even some of the most marginal lands were put back into production. What main idea is introduced in paragraph 5? a. The early 1940s were prosperous years. b. War returned to Europe. c. The southern Plains finally received some rain. d. People returned to their farms. Which statement best describes how that idea is elaborated on in paragraph 6? a. The author elaborates using descriptive details. b. The author elaborates using statistics. c. The author elaborates using examples. d. The author elaborates using anecdotes (stories).
3 3. Part A Read this sentence from paragraph 7 of Legacy. The damage to the land was mitigated by those farmers who continued using conservation techniques. Which word has the closest meaning to the word mitigated as it is used in this sentence? a. preserved b. swapped c. learned d. lessened Which sentence from paragraph 7 best supports the main idea of the sentence in Part A? a. Then, in the early 1950s, the wet cycle ended and a two-year drought replaced it. b. Bad as the Filthy Fifties were, the drought didn t last as long as the Dirty Thirties. c. Nearly four million acres of land had been purchased by the government during the Dust Bowl and permanently restored as national grasslands... d. At least a few lessons had been learned. 4. Read the following sentence from paragraph 9 of Legacy. Writer Timothy Egan calls the Dust Bowl a classic tale of human beings pushing too hard against nature, and nature pushing back. Which sentence from the article contains the best example of what Timothy Egan means by nature pushing back? a. Newcomers rushed in and towns sprang up overnight. b. When prices fell even further, the suitcase farmers who had moved in for quick profits simply abandoned their fields.
4 c. Some 850 million tons of topsoil blew away in 1935 alone. d. Wheat prices skyrocketed, and harvest were bountiful. 5. Order the ten events below to create a summary of "Legacy. Add the letter of of each event to the table. Be sure the events appear in chronological order. Summary of Legacy Events Event Choices: a. The Depression began and wheat prices dropped. b. An eight-year drought began. Dust storms filled the air with static charges, and dust was stacked high and filled in crevices. c. Many new people hurried to the southern Plains in order to convert unused land into wheat fields. d. Another war in Europe caused wheat prices to climb sharply, and another wet weather cycle resulted in plentiful harvests. e. A two-year drought caused the dust storms to return.
5 f. The drought of the fifties was not as prolonged or disastrous because farmers used conservation practices and millions of acres of land had been restored to natural grassland. g. The federal government stepped in to institute conservation methods and provide federal dollars to help prevent the Plains from becoming a desert. h. Farmers increased the land areas used to produce wheat, expecting that the extra crops would make up for the decrease in wheat prices. i. Suitcase farmers abandoned their fields, leaving vast areas of land stripped and bare. j. There was a land boom in the southern Plains due to rising wheat prices, a war in Europe, abundant rain, and governmental farm aid. Read the poem Leaving the Dust Bowl by Bob Bradshaw. Then answer the questions. 6. Part A Which sentence best describes how the characters respond to the dust in Leaving the Dust Bowl? a. The family builds fences, stays indoors, and creates sand dunes to keep the dust out of the house. b. The family gives their land to the bank and their mule to Jordan so they don t have to leave the house during the dust storm to tend to either. c. The family covers the baby s bed with sheets and turns over their dishes to keep from breathing and eating dust. d. The family ties beds, furniture, and other household items to the car to keep the dust out on their journey. Which lines from the poem best support the answer to Part A? a. Our house poked between the sand dunes / like a half buried shrimp boat. / Sand leaned against the tops of fences. b. We turned our plates on the dinner table / upside down / and covered the baby s crib with a wet sheet / at night to keep her / from breathing / grit. c. We gave our land / to the bank. We gave our mule / to Jordon, who took on the burden / of trying to feed it.

This distant state may be too large for the family who is used to living in close quarters. d. The faraway place is unfamiliar and without the support of neighbors and community, the move may not be successful. What is the impact of these lines on the tone of the poem? a. The tone changes from despairing to energetic. b. The tone changes from despairing to somber. c. The tone changes from despairing to bleak. d. The tone changes from despairing to hopeful. 8.
