If anyone could do whatever he or she wanted, people could hurt each other or take each other’s possessions. Absolute freedom would be chaotic. Instead, our laws are arranged so that one person’s freedom does not impinge on another’s. There is a balance between getting to do what we want and keeping the Page 3 of 9 SAS/2023-2024 /End of Term Exam REVISION/G12  Al Shola American School ‫مدرسة الشعلة األمريكية‬ community safe. We need restrictions for protection; a good government is one that can give us lots of protection with relatively little restriction. Quick Write : What are the most effective tools for establishing and preserving freedom? Page 9 The article suggests that someone would have to live far away from civilization to be “totally free.” I agree with this. Isolation is a very effective tool for establishing and preserving freedom. If people can’t find you or reach you, they can’t control you. There’s a reason why people who don’t want to be found so often go into the wilderness to hide. Of course, that level of isolation would keep people from doing what they want. People congregate in places where useful things are, and most people want to spend time with friends and family. There is a compromise to strike. from The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano Concept Vocabulary Page 92 Word Meaning Related Words loathsome Causing feelings of intense disgust Abhorrent ,Repugnant , Detestable or revulsion; something highly Vile ,Nauseating , Odious ,Revolting offensive or repulsive. ,Disgusting wretched In a very unhappy or unfortunate Miserable ,Forlorn ,Desolate ,Pitiful state; miserable or deeply afflicted. ,Sorrowful ,Pathetic, Dismal, Distressed It can also refer to something of very poor quality or condition dejected Feeling sad and dispirited, often Disheartened, Despondent, Downcast, due to disappointment; Glum, Melancholy, Crestfallen, Blue, downhearted or discouraged.

Equiano, like the other captives, endures terrible conditions onboard. The slaves are packed into the cargo hold, where they suffer from intolerable heat, foul smells, and quickly spreading illness. Upon their arrival in the Caribbean, Equiano fears that the white men who come aboard to examine the slaves are cannibals about to eat them. Local Africans explain to Equiano that he and the others are to be sold as workers. Comprehension Check 1. According to Equiano, what physical hardships do the captives suffer during their passage across the Atlantic Ocean? The captives are half-starved and chained in the crowded, hot, suffocating hold of the ship. 2. What do some captives do to escape the misery of the Atlantic crossing? Some choose death as a better fate than the conditions on the ship. 3. Why does Equiano blame the illness aboard ship on the “improvident avarice” of the slave traders?

How does Equiano’s youth affect his treatment during the voyage? He expresses a youthful wonder about navigation, and one of the mariners let him look through the quadrant.

Gettysburg Address page 18 to 22 Summary: President Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address on November 19, 1863, at a ceremony dedicating the Soldiers’ National Cemetery at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. There, 7,500 Union soldiers had died in battle a few months earlier. Lincoln begins his speech by noting that 87 years earlier, in 1776, the country’s founding fathers created a new nation dedicated to the idea that “all men are created equal.” Lincoln then notes that the country is fighting a civil war to determine whether this nation “can long endure.” He states that those who died in battle had fought to preserve the Union. Lincoln asserts that the work of these soldiers was not finished. He believes it is the living who must continue fighting for the nation’s survival so as to assure the survival of a “government of the people, by the people and for the people.” Concept Vocabulary 186 Page 6 of 9 SAS/2023-2024 /End of Term Exam REVISION/G12  Al Shola American School ‫مدرسة الشعلة األمريكية‬ Word Meaning Related Words dedicated To devote time, effort, or oneself to Commit, Devote, Pledge, Offer, Assign, a particular task, purpose, or person Allot, Sacrifice wholeheartedly. consecrate To declare something sacred or Sanctify, Bless, Anoint, Ordain, dedicate it formally to a religious or Hallow, Devote, Set apart divine purpose. hallow To make something holy or to Sanctify, Bless, Consecrate, Venerate, honor as sacred.

Washington wrote this personal narrative to describe how he became a student at the Hampton Institute. In the narrative, when Washington reaches the institute, he rushes to speak to the head teacher and doesn’t make a great first impression. Washington is worried when he sees her admit other students before him. The next chance he gets to make a good impression is when the head teacher asks him to clean a room. He does so as thoroughly as he can—and for his success, she lets him in. Washington explains that he has taken many more conventional exams since that point, but he has never been more satisfied than he was about this one that got him into college. Quick Write : What significant incident helped me realize that I am a unique individual? Page 8 of 9 SAS/2023-2024 /End of Term Exam REVISION/G12  Al Shola American School ‫مدرسة الشعلة األمريكية‬ Possible response: My sister was a star student, and she is a year older than me. Because of that, many of the teachers I had compared me to her. In eighth grade, I started teaching myself to program, using lessons I found online for a programming language called Python. Later that year, I showed my science teacher a game I’d made. He was impressed! Then it hit me—my sister never studied anything that wasn’t for school. She spent all her time making her class work perfect, but she wasn’t learning any other skills that were useful. For the first time, I realized that I didn’t need to be like her. I liked programming, and it made me feel like I had my own special talents. https://quizizz.com/join?gc=28081760 https://quizizz.com/join?gc=64126560 https://quizizz.com/join?gc=60456544 https://quizizz.com/join?gc=33455712 https://quizizz.com/join?gc=34700896 https://quizizz.com/join?gc=58293856 https://quizizz.com/join?gc=26574432 Good Luck ELA High School Leader Mr.Ahmad Nader Page 9 of 9 SAS/2023-2024 /End of Term Exam REVISION/G12
