My family descends the canyon deep. The course is narrow and very steep.

Old mules walk carefully in tight, packed rows. Below, the mighty river churns and flows.

Because riding at this height gives me a scare, I grip my dear mule’s long, coarse hair.

The winding trail shifts and turns As the brilliant sun flickers and burns.

The canyon colors at sunset shimmer bold: Blue, red, magenta, yellow, and gold.

Dear Betsy,

My family is visiting friends in Belize. Yesterday, we had the greatest adventure!

Dad didn’t want to lie on the beach, so his friend, Howard, decided to take us to the Maya Mountains. Howard is an archaeologist. He knows about how the Maya lived years ago. He can also speak the Mayan language. This made him a perfect guide.

Our journey began with a hike through a rain forest. We learned that the bark of some trees can help cure diseases. The bark of others can make people die!

Then, we stopped at the mouth of a cave. Howard told us that the caves were the entrance to Xibalba (it sounds like “Sh’bahl-bah”) where the Maya thought spirits lived. In the past, only Mayan priests were allowed in the caves. Now, kids like us can go inside too!

We rented life jackets and a raft. We were going to raft down a river through the cave! We were strong swimmers with floating aids and flashlights, so entering the dark passage did not feel dangerous. We floated for an hour. We saw sleeping fruit bats and beautiful crystals. Finally, we came out into the jungle, overjoyed by the light.

Yours truly, Emilio

The Coldest LandBy Dante Williams

Last summer my father told me that he was going to Antarctica this winter. My father is a scientist and he will be studying sea ice. Antarctica is very different from where we live. My father tells me that most of the land is covered in ice and snow. Yet this site, or place, gets very little rain.

My father says that some people visit Antarctica for pleasure. They come in summer to learn about the land. They may find penguins or seals humorous. In winter, only scientists, like my father, stay. They study caves, lakes, and sea ice. I will miss my father a lot! He says he will e-mail every day and send pictures. For now, I will enjoy my father while he is still home.

Venice, Italy, is an unusual city. It was built on small islands. Small rivers called canals flow under bridges through the city. Venice is not known for its roads or cars. In this way, Venice is different. The people there walk or travel by boat.

Some of the boats used in the canals are called gondolas. These long boats carry just a few people. Boat captains wear special clothes. They paddle the boat with just one oar. Sometimes they entertain people by singing.

Many people visit Venice. There are many events. Visitors can see wonderful artwork. They can eat good food. They can learn about the history of Venice at a museum. They can just ride in a boat and look at buildings.

The charming city of Venice still brings thousands of visitors each year.

E. ComprehensionRead the passage and answer the questions. You may look back at the passage.

Save the Kiwi!

In the wild, nine out of 10 baby kiwis die before they reach six months. If people don’t help, the kiwi bird will be wiped out.

The kiwi lives in New Zealand. It is not beautiful or elegant. It is not able to fly. Its feathers hang like hair, and it has catlike whiskers on its face. Because it cannot fly, it walks or runs everywhere.

Kiwi stopped flying because they had no enemies to chase them. They stayed on the ground. Their bones grew heavy. They learned to use their noses to sniff for food. They began to dig underground nests where they buried their eggs until the chicks were ready to hatch.

Today, wild cats, dogs, and other predators dig up kiwi nests. They eat the eggs and kill and eat young birds. Only alertness can save the kiwi. If life doesn’t get easier for them, soon all the kiwis may be gone.

Members of Operation Nest Egg are working to save the kiwi. Zoos and banks give money and anything else the birds need. Workers find the nests. Then, they take care of the eggs until they hatch. They keep the kiwi safe until they are big enough to fight off predators.

Soon, the eggs get active and hatch. People feed baby birds until they grow bigger. Then, they send the birds out to hunt for worms, bugs, berries, and leaves. To keep track of a bird, helpers put a tag on it that sends out special signals. When a young kiwi can hunt, Operation Nest Egg returns it to the region where its eggs were discovered. People are hopeful that they have the power to help the kiwi survive.

Music Around

the World

Since ancient times, people everywhere have built instruments. They put rocks into gourds to shake. They carved circles in wood to blow into. They even dried tendons and tied them to turtle shells. They worked with common things to make many kinds of sounds.

Today, there are many kinds of instruments. They can be heavy or light. There are also many kinds of music around the world.

How can a gourd make music?

Can people talk with drums?

In some places, drums are used for more than music. Some people in Africa use a “drum language.” They beat words on their drums. One message can be sent drum to drum across long distances.

These days, people go to concerts to hear music. Every year, thousands of people in New Orleans attend a Jazz Festival. It was launched in 1970 and is now part of the city’s culture. Other festivals are held on farms and in fields in the United States.

A Tasty Trip to ThailandKrystal and her mother were visiting Koh Chang in

Thailand. After touring a temple, they sat down to lunch. Their host, Sunee, brought the meal to the round table.

Krystal sniffed. “Are those sprinkles of coconut? Do I smell lemon?”

“Yes, our curry also has eggplant and lime leaves,” Sunee said.

“Don’t be nervous, Krystal. Thai food is delicious,” Mom said.

After a bite, Krystal’s eyes twinkled. “You’re right, Mom. This is amazing!”

nside the Everglades

Behind the calm face of the Everglades National Park is a wild and busy system. The park is a gem, full of rare animals and plants. You can visit any time of the year, but take care.

It is fragile and needs respect to survive. For a closer look, paddle a canoe or kayak through the river of grass. Look at the tall trees. Watch for the meek manatee below. Scan the marsh for the wise eyes of alligators. There are many birds, such as owls, herons, and egrets. You may even hear the howl of a bobcat!

Today’s Transportation

The way we move people and goods is called transportation. Cars, trucks, buses, trains, boats, and planes are all forms of transportation. Goods are things people buy and sell. Our country’s economy is how the United States manages its money. This is affected by how well we move people and goods.

A transportation system must work quickly and easily. Think of all the problems there would be if people and goods could not travel from place to place. To keep the system working well, new roads, train tracks, ports, and runways have to be built. What about the old roads, train tracks, ports, and runways? Those things must be fixed so we can continue to use them. If they cannot be fixed, they must be replaced. All of this is expensive. Sometimes the government helps build the things we need for our transportation system. (continued)

When goods are moved, they are called freight. Freight must go from where it is made to where it will be sold. Some freight must be moved a long way. It can be transferred by truck, train, ship, or plane. Not much freight is moved by plane. This is because it costs too much. Trucks and trains move a lot of freight over land. Trains are slower, but they cost less. Ships are the cheapest way to move freight. They carry freight across bodies of water. They go from port to port. Ships are slow, but they can move large amounts of freight for the least amount of money.

When goods and people need to be moved short distances, we often use cars, buses, and trains. Some people prefer to ride a bicycle or walk as a way to get around. The next time you need to go from one place to another, think about how transportation affects your life.

1. What is transportation?

2. Why is it important to fix old roads, train tracks, and runways?

3. What is the cheapest way to move freight?

4. What methods of transportation move freight over land?

5. What are three ways that people can get around?

Musical TrekCast

Mom: 40-year-old woman Dad: 45-year-old man Andrea: 16-year-old girl

Ben: 18-year-old boy Alex: 14-year-old boy Guide: 25-year-old man

Scene 1Mom, Dad, Alex, Andrea, and Ben follow a guide riding on mules. They are on a path through the Grand Canyon. They are surrounded by tall rock formations.

Mom: Hey kids, look at the towering rocks. Aren’t they beautiful?

Guide: The Grand Canyon is considered by many to be one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. The rocks you see were carved naturally over time by the rushing waters of the Colorado River and erosion.

Alex: Wearing earbuds, humming loudly, and totally ignoring the guide. Buh, BUH, bum bum BUH.

Andrea: Alex, will you please stop singing? We are trying to listen to the guide.

Ben: To guide. Why are there so many colors in the rocks?

Alex: Singing like the sounds of a guitar riff. Ber-ner-ner-ner. BER.

Ben: Alex! Be quiet!

Guide: If you look closely, you can see that the mile-high rocks have hundreds of layers. These layers were formed from sediment, magma, and lava that have hardened into rocks over time.

Ben: Whispering to Andrea. I want to get closer to the rocks and see for myself.

Andrea: To Ben. Wait. Where are you going?

Guide: To group. In just another couple of miles, we will stop and set up camp for the night.

Scene 2Ben and Andrea are riding their mules off the path. The sun is setting. The mile-high rocks are behind them.

Ben: Did you see all those layers? That is one of the coolest things I have ever seen.

Andrea: I don’t want to talk about rocks anymore. I want to go find the others. I am hungry and cold. We are going to be in trouble.

Ben: OK. Let’s go. Ben starts moving.

Andrea: I thought the path was this way.

Ben: No. It is this way. Trust me.

Scene 3

Mom, Dad, Alex, and guide sitting around campfire. It is dark.

Guide: I will give them 30 more minutes. Then, I will go back to find them.

Mom: I am getting worried about them.

Dad: They have their camping gear. They will be fine. They know what to do.

Alex: Singing. Whoa oooh oh. Whoa ooooh you.

Mom: Alex, how can you be singing at a time like this? Can’t you take those earbuds off for one minute?

Scene 4

A weary Ben and Andrea are moving slowly on their mules. They are looking around for anything familiar.

Andrea: Hears singing in the distance. Do you hear that?

Ben: It’s Alex! Follow that sound.

Yes No Not Sure

My writing includes an introduction, a conclusion, and a series of paragraphs with a main idea.

I used transitional words to link ideas between sentences and paragraphs.

I used precise language to describe my animal.

I used phrases and clauses to combine sentences and expand ideas.

I used a comma after introductory phrases.

I checked my sentences for capital letters and for correct use of commas, periods, question marks, and exclamation points.

I checked the spelling of words I’m not sure of using print and digital dictionaries.
