English II Summative Assessment Units 2A & 2B Testing Guidance Page The test on the following pages is composed of three STAAR passages from the Spring 2023 administration. (Informational, Poetry, Revising). It is supplemented with an Editing passage from the 2024 Spring administration. It is meant to measure student mastery of the skills in unit 2A & 2B. As these assessments come from released STAAR passages, DO NOT direct your students to use the STAAR practice tests through the SSO. The state has released part of the test into that portal and using them as practice with your students will invalidate your ability to use them in a summative assessment. All released passages on the Spring 2023 exam will be used between the Q1, Q2, and Q3 summative assessments. (It’s the most authentic questions we have, so let’s use them to measure learning!) Best practice is for you to take the test either by yourself or with your PLC. Doing so will not only help familiarize yourself with what you need to plan for your students, but it will also help you to feel more confident spending time in the most recently released test. Pages 22-23 provide the Key, TEKS, the state correct percentage, as well as a list of tested skills. It also includes a Short Constructed Response grading guidance page to help when you have to score students' responses. This test will be available in eduphoria. We expect that you will need to curve this test before entering it into the gradebook. For Spring 2023 the approaches cut scores on the STAAR/EOC test for English I were as follows: ○ Low approaches - 42%, high approaches - 48%, meets - 56%, masters - 88% ○ Work with your team to decide an appropriate amount to curve the test, or use the grading guidelines below. As always, follow campus grading procedures as well as ARD, 504, and language accommodations.  English II Summative Assessment Units 2A & 2B We suggest that your team sets the “meets” threshold as passing in the gradebook, using the following grading scale based on raw score: 1 = 45% 5 = 52% 9 = 60& 13 = 73% 17 = 85% Low approaches 2 = 47% 6 = 54% 10 = 65% 14 = 76% 18 = 90% High approaches Masters 3 = 49% 7 = 56% 11 = 68% 15 = 79% 19 = 95% 4 = 50% 8 = 58% 12 = 70% 16 = 82% 20 = 100% Meets Please let me know if you see any errors on the test! - Alison  English II Summative Assessment Units 2A & 2B Read the next two selections and answer the questions that follow. Acoustic Sculpture, Sound Art, and the Music of the Sea 1 Out on the end of a jetty in San Francisco Bay, there is a strange and beautiful stone structure called the Wave Organ. It was cobbled together in the late twentieth century with recycled marble and granite from old discarded monuments, secondhand curbstones, PVC pipes, and rocks. Yet this carefully concealed marvel has the look and feel of an ancient ruin. 2 Walking along the jetty, you will not see this secret—yet public—place until you reach the stone steps that take you down into it. Descend those steps and you will find yourself among children climbing on the stonework, anglers casting their fishing lines off the terraces, and daydreamers quietly contemplating the sights and sounds of the bay. 3 “It’s very romantic,” says Peter Richards, the artist who first envisioned this spot back in 1980. “You’re out in the middle of the bay, but you’re not really on dry land, so it’s sort of a tenuous place. So that’s what makes it interesting to me. The edge between solid ground, or solid land, and the water. And I think edges are where interesting things happen.” 4 Even when you’re standing on it, you may not realize that you’re atop a gigantic musical instrument, or, more accurately, a “wave-activated acoustic sculpture.” The Inspiration for the Wave Organ 5 Richards first got the idea for the Wave Organ from listening to a recording by composer Bill Fontana called “Kirribilli Wharf.” Fontana’s experimental work is called “sound art,” and it boldly defies the conventions of ordinary music. 6 Fontana recorded “Kirribilli Wharf” in Australia in 1976. Years later, he recalled how he did it. “In the middle of the night, I went with an outside broadcast van to a floating concrete pier in Sydney Harbor that had vertical cylindrical holes going from the deck to the underside.” He placed microphones at the top end of eight vertical steel pipes. On the  English II Summative Assessment Units 2A & 2B resulting recording, the listener hears waves beneath the pier gently lapping against the bottom ends of the pipes. This creates “changing percussive rhythms” that sound a bit like a hand tapping an African drum. 7 Fontana has since singled out “Kirribilli Wharf” as a turning point in his work. It demonstrates what he calls “the inherent musicality of sound in the environment.” “Kirribilli Wharf” created an artistic turning point for Richards as well. The soothing pulse and the gentle wash of waves he heard on Fontana’s recording showed him how he could incorporate sound from the natural environment into his own work. 8 Conceptually, Richards’s Wave Organ and Fontana’s “Kirribilli Wharf” occupy a similar artistic edge. They both straddle that divide between natural occurrence and human creativity. “Sound Sculpture” vs. “Acoustic Sculpture” 9 Fontana calls his compositions “sound sculptures,” and Richards calls the Wave Organ an “acoustic sculpture.” Although those phrases seem similar, they have meanings that are quite different. 10 Fontana creates “sound sculptures” by shaping existing sounds from the environment, the way a sculptor shapes clay. These “sculptures,” however, are not physical objects. They are audio recordings you can listen to on a record or on a streaming service. 11 Richards, on the other hand, is an environmental sculptor. Although recordings of the sounds of the Wave Organ are available online, the Wave Organ is much more than just a series of sounds. It is a physical place. To enjoy it fully, you must go there and experience it with all your senses. 12 As a composer, Fontana creates his sound sculptures by recording and manipulating the “coherent sound patterns” that he finds in an already existing environment. The environment may be a natural one, a human one, or, as is the case with “Kirribilli Wharf,” one where natural and human landscapes collide. Obviously, whoever built that floating pier in Sydney Harbor did not include the vertical steel pipes in it in order to produce musical sounds. The sounds, in fact, were barely audible before Fontana miked them. Yet Fontana did not make those sounds. Nor did he alter the landscape in any way to get them. The production of those sounds was purely an accident.  English II Summative Assessment Units 2A & 2B 13 As an environmental sculptor, Richards basically does the opposite of Fontana. He intentionally alters the physical landscape to produce an artistic effect. After hearing the accidental sounds of waves striking the pipes on an ordinary pier on Fontana’s recording, Richards realized he could use pipes and the waves of the San Francisco Bay to build a sculpture that creates extraordinary musical sounds on purpose. 14 Consequently, the Wave Organ is itself a work of art. The same, of course, cannot be said of the floating concrete pier in Sydney Harbor. Music of the Sea 15 With a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts and the assistance of master stonemason George Gonzalez, Richards completed the Wave Organ in 1986. As the tide changes, the auditory results are spectacular. 16 The steel pipes in the floating pier that Fontana recorded were all vertical, narrow, and the same length. Consequently, they all emitted a uniform sound. When building the Wave Organ, Richards and Gonzalez intentionally did the reverse. They used wide, plastic PVC pipes of different lengths and laid them horizontally beneath the Wave Organ’s walkways, benches, and steps at various heights above the water at low tide. 17 The rise and fall of the tide create vibrations in different pipes at different times. When a wave hits the end of a pipe, it creates a percussive sound that comes out the other end. When water flows within the horizontal pipes, it creates whooshing sounds. Shorter pipes create higher pitched sounds. Longer pipes create lower ones. “It’s like listening to the world’s largest seashell,” one visitor said. “It’s like distant drums, muffled cymbals, quiet thunder. The variety is endless.” 18 Like “Kirribilli Wharf,” the Wave Organ finds its beauty in its interaction with the environment. Both works bridge the gap between art and nature by amplifying the rhythm of the waves to divulge the music of the sea.  English II Summative Assessment Units 2A & 2B Leaping Falls by Galway Kinnell And so it was I sheered, Eccentric, into outer space, And tracked with lost paces The forgotten journey of a child, 5 Across the creaking snow, Up the deer-trail, Over the snowdrifted hill Into the secret country Where a boy once found, 10 Routing from ledge to ledge In a tumult at sunrise, The cascading of Leaping Falls. Now the falls lay draped Without motion or sound, 15 Icicles fastened in stories To stillness and rock. At the bottom, A heap of broken icicles Lay dead blue on the snow. Cold was through and through, 20 Noiseless. Nothing But clouds at my nostrils Moved. Then I uttered a word, Simply a bleak word Slid from my lips. Whereupon 25 A topmost icicle came loose And fell, and struck another With a bell-like sound, and Another, and the falls Leapt at their ledges, ringing 30 Down the rocks and on each other Like an outbreak of bells That rings and ceases. The silence turned around And became silence again. 35 Under the falls on the snow A twigfire of icicles burned pale blue.  English II Summative Assessment Units 2A & 2B 1.

José wrote this paper to describe the history of the Panama Canal. Read José’s paper and look for corrections he needs to make. Then answer the questions that follow. The Panama Canal (1) Throughout most of history, a ship captain who wanted to travel from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean had to make a long journey around the southern tip of South America. (2) This meant that a 12,000‑mile voyage from a port in New York City to one in San Francisco took more than two months. (3) As early as the 1500s, visionaries looked for a shortcut to link the two oceans. (4) However, it wasn’t until 1904 that the vision began to become a reality. (5) Ten years later the Panama Canal was finished, it changed shipping and travel for the entire world. (6) Panama is the southernmost country in Central America. (7) It includes a thin strip of land known as an isthmus. (8) At their narrowest point, this piece of land separates the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans by less than 50 miles and links North and South America. (9) Many people agreed that this narrow waterway was the ideal location for a canal that would connect the two oceans, but building such a structure wasn’t as simple as digging an enormous trench across the land. (10) It was an arduous process, and developers faced many challenges disease-carrying mosquitoes, rugged terrain, and heavy rainfall. (11) There was also a problem with the sea level on each coast. (12) The Pacific Ocean is about 85 feet higher than the Atlantic Ocean. (13) To enable ships that were traveling from the  English II Summative Assessment Units 2A & 2B Atlantic to get to the height of the Pacific, the Panama Canal had to include a system of locks and gates known as the Panama Water Lock System. (14) A lock is a water-filled chamber that opens and closes, permitting ships to come in and out. (15) Once a ship is inside a locked area, the water can be slowly raised or lowered. (16) A ship travels through several lock gates to complete the journey through the canal. (17) This process can take from 8 to 10 hours, which may seem like a very long time to move less than 50 miles. (18) But when compared to the time it had taken for ships to go all the way around the tip of South America, this was of minimal concern. (19) In fact, the completion of the Panama Canal dramatically reduced travel times for ships all around the world. (20) For example, trips between New York and San Francisco were shortened by 8,000 miles. (21) And the United States wasn’t the only country that benefited from using the canal. (22) The canal allowed for faster travel between Europe and East Asia as well. (23) This made it a major factor in expanding global trade. (24) In 2016, after another rigirous construction program, an expansion to the Panama Canal opened. (25) The expansion doubled the capacity of the canal and allowed much larger ships to pass through. (26) Today, about 14,000 ships use the canal every year. (27) Interested tourists can even book a cruise through this engineering marvel. (28) The Panama Canal has been referred to as “one of historys’ most incredible examples of large-scale engineering.” (29) As a result, the American Society of Civil Engineers has recognized the Panama Canal as one of the seven wonders of the modern world. (30) To date, more than a million ships have passed through this marvel, and it’s likely that these numbers will continue to grow in the future. 18. Sentence 5 is written incorrectly.
