Today, I took my 4sight test on Language Arts. First, I read an informational story on how to keep your camping place clean. It talked about keeping the environment clean by picking up your trash or not leaving trash on the ground at all. The world is in trouble and we need to save it. It also talked about not picking flowers or snapping off branches as souvenirs. A solution is to take pictures of nature. They definitely last longer. After finishing the story, I answered a series of multiple choice questions.

The writing piece that followed was a poem also about the environment. It talked about the animals dying and trains being built that hurt the animals. I then answered multiple choice questions. Two of the them were asking me to compare the story and the poem.

Next, there was a story about a man named Louis riding the bus from Philadelphia to Washington D.C. He came to see the marvelous Martin Luther King. He asked a man that didn't seem very friendly for directions. The man answered him but with a mean attitude. Louis followed the directions to Washington Memorial and he listened to King's speech. Like the other stories, I answered multiple choice questions. There was also an open response question for this story asking me to write events from the story showing me why this speech was important to Louis. I had to prove my answers with evidence from the story.

The next and last story was about the first female astronaut and her life story. She dropped out to become a tennis player but rejoined school after a while. She was very intelligent. She went to NASA and she trained very hard until that special day. She got blasted off to the moon. She became the very first female astronaut on the moon. Today, she teaches kids about the space program. I answered my last couple of questions, looked over my answers, then turned it in hoping for a good score.
