Assignment(s) for November 16, 2016

1) Create a Key Word Outline for each of the 3 paragraphs below.  

PARAGRAPH #1|

The Job of a Cattle Rancher

A cattle rancher must check his cows every day. He watches as they move about. He checks the water supply. He counts them. If flies pester them, he puts a fly tag on their ear. He calls a vet when they are sick. He likes to see the calves on their feet. Ranchers enjoy looking after their cows.

PARAGRAPH #2

The Fox and the Goat

By an unlucky chance, a fox fell into a deep well from which he could not escape. A goat passed by and asked the fox what he was doing down there. The fox told the goat that there was going to be a great drought, so he climbed into the well in order to be sure to have water nearby. The fox suggested that the goat  join him in the well.  The goat thought this a good idea and jumped down into the well. The fox immediately sprang onto the goat’s back and put his foot on her long horns. The fox managed to hop up to the edge of the well. As the fox disappeared over the top of the well he said, “Remember, be careful of the advice of one who is in trouble.”

PARAGRAPH #3

The Babylonian New Year Celebration

New Year is the oldest of all holidays. It was even observed in Ancient Babylon nearly 4000 years ago. Around 2000 BC, the Babylonian New Year began with the first new moon after the first day of spring. It celebrated rebirth, planting of new crops, and blossoming. The Babylonian’s celebration lasted for eleven days and was called Akiyu.  Each day at had its own special celebration. One particular celebration seems strange to us today. The king was dragged by his ears to make him cry. If he cried, it was taken as a sign that their pagan god was happy. The king was then allowed to rule for another year.
