The Adventures in Candy Land

          The Adventures in Candy Land Chapter 1

Starting the mystery

Once upon a time in candy land there was a city.  It’s name was candy city.  It was a peaceful city.  In candy city there lived a two boys.  Their names were Mammoth and

Joe.   One day when Mammoth and Joe were watching the news and they saw homes destroyed.  The news person said, “There is a villain coming and destroying everything, but who is this villain? Nobody knows.”  Then their mom said, “ha, that is just a legend”.  Their mom told it was about a very big villain named Lord Licorice.  He turned evil by his sister Lady Licorice.  His name used to be Leo Licorice.  He was so jealous because his sister Lady Licorice was the president of candy land and he wasn’t.  He turned his back on his sister and became evil.  “Ok kids let’s turn off the TV and have some dinner remember it’s Skittle Sunday”.  said their mom.  After they ate they went to bed.  Mammoth said to Joe,  “I hope this villain isn’t real.” Then they went to bed, or did they?  Joe kept hearing stuff, and Mammoth heard it too.  Then they walked towards the sound and came across something huge.  It was a treasure chest.  They looked inside it and they found rubies and gold.  Mammoth found out that they were paper.  “It looks like a trick.” Said Joe.

 

Mammoth found a piece of paper that said” Lord Licorices money”  Joe said ”I knew it Lord Licorice is real.”   “Of Course not, someone just probably just put that in there to trick us”  Then they looked over and saw another treasure chest.  Inside that one was a note it said.  Watch out don’t get tricked,  tick tick goes the clock you better prepare before time runs out, I’m not kidding it’s not a doubt, you will be.  “What does it mean” Joe said “Whatever it means it’s not going to be good.”  Mammoth said with a frightened face. “Let’s hope it’s good then”. Joe said “It’s not” said Mammoth.  “Let’s go upstairs and get more information from the TV”, said Joe.  But before they could take a step they heard that sound again but this time it sounded like help!  They followed the sound again until they found a big hole.  Then the sound stopped.  Inside that big hole looked like dirt(Cinnamon) but on the bottom Mammoth saw something it looked like a door knob.  He told Joe.  “This mystery keeps getting weirder, and weirder.”  Said Mammoth.  “Should we investigate?”  Just then they heard a voice that said, “don’t even think about it”, “mom?”  Said Mammoth.  “You two go to bed now!”  “But”  “nope no but’s to bed now”! Fine, we will go.  When Mammoth was in bed he kept thinking about the poem.  He had to find out more so he snuck into Joe’s room, and told him his idea.  Joe agreed, but it will be hard to sneak past mother.  They snuck down stairs and almost got seen, but they didn’t.  When they got downstairs they looked around for more clues.  At first the didn’t see anything but, when the looked in the shelves they found a flashlight.

 

It had a weird symbol.  It was a picture of a piece of licorice.  They shined it on the clue “That’s it!” Said Joe.  I knew there would be another clue when they shined the flashlight they found a map on the poem.  It looked like it started right where they were standing. The map lead outside. So They went outside.  “Are you thinking what I’m thinking”.  Said Mammoth. “No” said Joe.  “There is probably going to be a treasure.”  Said Mammoth.  “The real treasure”. Said Joe.  Just then they heard this voice say “You’ll never find it.  They turned around, and then they saw… To be continued.

Navajo Code Talkers (Text-dependent Questions) – Shanealei Clemens

 

Text-dependent Questions Evidence-based Answers
How was Hawthorne’s knowledge of Navajo helpful to him as a code talker?  (Page 91) Hawthorne lived in the Navajo reservation in new mexico but since he was always talking Navajo language it helped him with the Navajo code.   
Compare the experiences of the code talkers with Navajo language when they were young, and later when they were in the Marine Corp. (Pages 90-91) When he was young he was not able to speak Navajo language if he did his mouth would get washed with soap but when he was older he needed the Navajo language to make the code.  They spoke the code.  
Why was the use of difficult codes so important in WW II? (Pages 91-92) The codes were important because the language was hard to learn and if they did not know the language that they did not know the code because it’s based of the navajo language.     
Why was Navajo a good language to use for a code? (Pages 93-94) The navajo language is hard to learn to the then they made
How did recruiters find men to become code talkers? What were some of the challenges in implementing this plan? (Pages 94-95) They made a plan on how to get troops by making a program for the code.  They had to find people to do so.  
Using the code on page 97, how might you write your name in Navajo?

Klesh,Lin,Wol-la-chee,A-chin,Dzeh,

Wol-la-chee,Ah-jad,Dzeh,Tkin

Last Name
Ba-goshi,Ah-jad,Dzeh,Na-as-tso-si,

Dzeh,A-chin,Klesh

How was the code developed? What special characteristic about Navajo knowledge influenced the words that were chosen?  (Pages 96-98) The code was developed by coders that knew navajo language. The words that they chose represented A – Z Letters they also told us to come up with words for military terms.  
How did the code talking program change over time? (Page 99) They first started out with 200 words for the code then they had 600 words at the end.  
What were some requirements and skills that code talkers had to develop? (Page 99) They must memorize the code and practice  sending and translating codes in 20 seconds.  
What were some of the challenges of the battlefield? (Pages 100-101) They had to carry the heavy bulky radios and under intense firepower from the enemies.  

What happened later after the war to the Navajo code talkers?

Explain why the Code Talkers were not recognized for their contributions to the war effort until much later. Explain why they did not get any recognition or thanks after the war. (Pages 102-103)

The code worked exactly like they planned.  They did not tell anyone else till much later.  They did not tell what they did.  
Describe the congressional gold medals given to the code talkers. (Page 103) The gold medals had a picture of the Navajo code talkers on it.   
What can we infer about the use of the Navajo language on the medals? (Page 103) My opinion is that They should have got their medals sooner but they got their medals at least.

Is Deforstation an Issue Kids Should Worry About

Deforestation is an issue kids should worry about because deforestation is the clearing of forests on a large scale.  It occurs most heavily on tropical rain forest and more than 2,000 of the 3,000 identified plants with cancer fighting properties grown only tropical places and it can help people with cancer and since cancer is a problem that won’t be good.   

 

If deforestation continues at this rate it will take less than 100 years to destroy all of the rain forests on Earth.  If it continues we all won’t have any air to breath and animals won’t have any air too.  One strategy to reserved tropical forests is to teach farming methods is to not destroy the forests. In ‘shade farming’ certain crops like coffee are grown within the forests without cutting down many trees.  

 

But you’re still cutting down many trees and you might be using poisonous fertilizer to the forests. I agree to this but you’re still cutting down many trees and what kind of fertilizer are they using?  Deforestation is an issue kids should worry about because more than 2,000 of the 3,000 plants that can cure cancer also it will only take less than 100 years for all of the forests on earth will be gone.  That’s why I think that you should not cut down the rain forests.
