Training Notes:Goals:• The census is trying to expand the knowledge of known species in the ocean. It is

surveying previously unexplored areas to determine what lives there. Many of these species are microscopic.

• The survey is trying to better understand the behavior of marine life, especially where animals are going and when.

Methods:• Scientists are exploring different oceans around the world.• Scientists are using robotic vehicles to explore previously unreachable areas.• Scientists are implanting tracking devices in animals to track their movements.• Acoustic sensors and electronic tags track animals.

d Describe how Arthur’s attitude toward the shop changes from the beginning to the end of the passage. Use details from the passage to support your answer.

Scoring Guide

Score Description

4Response provides a thorough description of how Arthur’s attitude changes from the beginning to the end of the passage. Response includes relevant details from the passage.

3Response provides a description of how Arthur’s attitude changes from the beginning to the end of the passage. Response includes some relevant details from the passage.

10.5.2 Analyze and interpret elements of literary texts, citing evidence where appropriate by examining characterization (e.g., stereotype, antagonist, protagonist), motivation, or interactions (including relationships), citing thoughts, words, or actions that reveal character traits, motivations, or changes over time



Training Notes:

• At the beginning of the passage, Arthur is indifferent to the shop. • He thinks that the shopkeeper is just an ordinary older gentleman with wispy gray hair and

spectacles. • After he acknowledges the differences between the faded, grime-covered shop and the

other buildings in the area, he becomes a little more curious. • He has mixed emotions as he enters the shop. • The chess set sparks Arthur’s curiosity because it looks like someone has been playing—

maybe the shopkeeper. • He experiences guilt when he realizes he has marred the chess set. • He loses interest in the shop. • He feels fear at the end of the passage.
