I. Identify and Guess (10 points)

Hmmmm….what do you think these underlined words in the following sentences mean? Write your educated guess in the space provided beneath each context clue.

1. One of the reasons I don’t like to use medicines like cough syrup is that the taste is absolutely vile; if I’m supposed to be able to tolerate it, you’d think that the makers would make it less disgusting.

2. Mrs. Hatcher announced that in all her years of teaching second grade, she had never experienced a more impudent bunch of students; this year’s class was so disrespectful and rude that she actually called in the principal to observe their awful behavior.

3. The Coca-Cola Company is credited with helping create the image of a jovial, merry Santa Clause that we know today; before 1862, Santa was more of an elf-like figure than the round, jolly man seen in popular culture now.

4. “Jenny, if this mess isn’t cleaned up, there will be no iPhone 5 in your future. Ever.” The peremptory tone of her mother’s voice made it clear to Jenny that there was no room for argument or disobedience, and she cleaned up the kitchen without another word.

5. I totally get that teenagers and young adults got excited about the last Twilight movie, but I was shocked at the effusive behavior of the “Twi-Moms”; their boundless enthusiasm and sudden disregard for social behavioral norms was unbelievable.

6. Finally, the Latin teacher got fed up at the inane questions that the students were asking and informed them that if they were not going to ask questions expected of mature students in a proper classroom setting, then she would offer them all failing grades and an invitation back to daycare, where they could continue with their silly, pointless behavior and questions.

7. Walking into the bakery, I had to quell the sudden urge to order one of each truffle behind the glass;

Curtis and Janet went to a different school then Rufus but he still walked them to school then walked himself to school. On his way to school a car followed him very slowly but Rufus kept walking. When he got to school it looked the same on the outside that it always had. Rufus pushed open the doors at Searingtown School and yelled “I’m back!” All of his friends ran over to hug him. He went down to the office to get a tour he thought he didn’t need because he remembered every single solitary thing about this place. While the tour was going on everything going on was a blur. He looked left, right and left again, admiring the changes the school had made. “Wow” he sighed. “Is there a problem Rufus?” the tour guide asked. Rufus answered, “When I was here the wall paint was all chipped, there were broken windows and holes in the walls.” “Oh ok, well that concludes our tour and this door on your right is your first period class.” The tour guide replied. Rufus walked in and sat at an available seat at the back of the class room. He opened his notebook and took notes even though he didn’t understand anything that was going on. By the time 5th period came around it was time for lunch he was starving. All of his friends called him over and asked him to sit with him. Momma didn’t make him a big lunch because they didn’t have that much food in the house and then needed to split it 3 different ways.

    Freshman year is never an easy year, especially when you're the new girl. Aliyah wanted to incinerate her past and have a fresh start; she would be a stranger to all of them. Once she arrived to her new locker, she had a difficult time accessing it. After the twentieth time, she was finally able to open her locker and put all her supplies inside. On her way to her first class, she had overheard that the math teacher assigned arduous assignments causing an abundance of students to drop out within the first week. Mrs.Katra, the math teacher, gave a "I've been doing this for 35 years, I know all the tricks" speech for 30 minutes and gave us a homework assignment afterwards; at first glance it didn't seem difficult but after looking at it for a while, Aliyah began to feel uneasy about the class.

    “Wrong answer Laurran, do it again,” Mrs. Taylor raised her voice at me. The room went silent. Nobody was talking or moving, to scared to get scolded by Mrs. Taylor. I always wondered who would want to marry her, or how she treated her kids at home. I honestly feel bad for her two kids if she treated her own students this way. I sat there, my eyes tearing up from embarrassment and failure. Mrs. Taylor doesn't understand how hard it is; doing math that is a grade above your level of experience. She doesn’t understand the pressure that is on me from my parents to do good and from the older kids in my class to show them I’m not dumb and I can do this.…

    As every teacher goes into the workplace, first year, or twenty-fifth, and despite any subconscious fear you might possess of the hideous class you might be challenged to educate, there is always a certain comfort in knowing that, regardless the case, you have the support of your administration to uphold most any rational expectation you place on your students. As the school year drew near, I’m sure this was the case even for Madame Esme, as she seemed eager to start her first year of teaching. She set her expectations high in all aspects and from day one seemed determined to see her students achieve accordingly. She maintained her ideals throughout the year, though, it becomes more evident that her superiors might not share such idealistic values. No case more true than is seen on May 4th. After trying to reach a male student, B.B., who seems to be having behavioral problems related to his home life, Esme finds herself separating her student from a “big pounding fight on the playground” (Codell,…

After she took attendance, she addressed that she had taken some privileges away from the students because the students did not picked up their mess after having centers and would not follow instructions that the teacher gave. She explained that centers might return for the upcoming school year if they behaved properly. After she addressed the issues of the students, she instructed everyone to go back to their desks and waited till they put their thumbs which meant that they were ready for the lesson of the day. Mrs.Metcalfe went up to the front of the class to use the projector and expected her students to follow what she was doing on their worksheets.…
