Passage A: Andrew Carnegie: A Friend of the People
1 What makes a successful life? A look at the life of Andrew Carnegie offers some clues. Carnegie was a nineteenth-century industrialist who rose from poverty to build a steel empire. He ultimately became the richest man in the world. His success was largely a product of his study of business and industrial trends and of his management of his relationships with well-connected people.

2 Carnegie was poor when he arrived in the U.S. at the age of 13, but his habits of study and personal skills enabled him to rise quickly. He worked long days and weeks in a textile mill, but read widely and applied himself to the study of bookkeeping at night. At 14, he landed a job as a messenger in a telegraph office. He again studied to get ahead, memorizing a street map of Pittsburgh, the locations of local businesses, and the faces of important businessmen. He also became one of only three people in the U.S. at the time to learn to decipher Morse code by ear. His work paid off when he was promoted to the position of telegraph operator, and his skills soon made him the fastest operator in his office. At 17, Carnegie caught the attention of a railroad superintendent, Thomas A. Scott, who hired him as his personal secretary. In this quick succession of events, it is easy to see how Carnegie used his immense drive and skill to lay a foundation for his later success.

3 As a developing and eventually successful businessman, Carnegie advanced through a continued close attention to relationships and to his era’s business and industrial trends. He worked closely at Scott’s side. There he learned about stocks and making sound investments. At the close of the Civil War, he left the railroad. He’d decided that he could better realize his goal of attaining a “fortune” by building upon his interests in iron. When he later expanded into the steel industry, Carnegie assessed the current technology and decided to apply what is known as the Bessemer process to his production method. This enabled him to increase production while keeping his prices low. Ultimately, this allowed him to rule the industry. As he built his companies, he carefully maintained and grew his relationships with Scott and the railroad’s president, J. Edgar Thomson. He named his first steel mill after Thomson, and he offered both men opportunities to invest in his ongoing ventures.

4 Beyond his business achievements, he was a man who gave much to others. He donated hundreds of millions of dollars to education, the arts, free public libraries, and foundations dedicated to world peace. His generosity has improved the lives of generations of people. He died a rich man, in more ways than one.
Based on the first text, what did Carnegie's relationship with Thomas A. Scott contribute to his eventual success?
A.
business sense and connections
B.
an entry into the steel business
C.
telegraphing and secretarial skills
D.
a fortune to invest in stocks

Who was the real first president of the United States?​

Read the excerpt from On the Road.

In those days he really didn’t know what he was talking about; that is to say, he was a young jailkid all hung-up on the wonderful possibilities of becoming a real intellectual, and he liked to talk in the tone and using the words, but in a jumbled way, that he had heard from “real intellectuals”—although, mind you, he wasn’t so naïve as that in all other things, and it took him just a few months with Carlo Marx to become completely in there with all the terms and jargon.

Memos and Emails
Email

Ok so here's the thing: 90% of the emails I get from students look like texts. When I was a grant writer, if I sent an email like that, I would have been in my boss's office so fast. SO let's learn proper etiquette for sending emails.

1) Start with a salutation. Hello, Hi, Dear _____, Hi _______, Greetings! any of these work. Make sure your initial email has these. If you don't know the person personally, use Mr., Mrs., Ms., or the new Mx. and their last name.

2) Body: The body has to be right to the point and formal. Most work emails are all business. You can say something like "I hope your Monday is going well!" but beyond that, get to the point.

3) End it well. Best is a good way to go if you don't know the person. Sincerely is good too. It's all personal preference. Just make sure you end it. Also, ALWAYS include your last name. I get so many emails that say "Jackie" or whatever short name people go with, and I have 5 classes. Let's do some math here.

Your job is to create an email that you, as the CEO, are sending to one or more of your staff. One is preferable. Set up an issue you wish to address with that person (I really don't care what it is). Make it at least 100 words.



Memo

An intra-office memo is very important for giving widespread information to your employees. For this piece, you will create a big problem that your employees created, and then send them a memo explaining how you fixed it and how to prevent it from happening again. Use your imagination. Play with this. Make it funny. I want to laugh

After reading the excerpt, Ricardo made a text-to-text
connection. Which example is a text-to-text
connection?
Ricardo read this excerpt from A Black Hole Is NOT a
Hole by Carolyn Cinami DeCristofano.
Discoveries of black holes exploded in the late 1900s
and early 2000s. What scientists found reads like a
cast of characters for a mixed-up fairy tale. First they
discovered the small ("Baby Bear") black holes, then
the giant "Papas." But where were the medium "Mama
Bear" black holes? It just didn't make sense that there
would be smalls and larges but no mediums.
Astronomers began the search, and found them.
There's just one size that still hasn't been found, even
though it has been predicted. The tiniest of all, the
"Tom Thumbs" of the black-hole world, have yet to be
discovered if they even exist.
Ricardo had read a children's story with a character
named "Tom Thumb," so he understood the author's
description of the tiniest" black holes.
Ricardo had watched a video about big discoveries
in space, so he had some background information
on the subject of the excerpt.
While reading the excerpt, Ricardo remembered
playing a game when he was a child that had a
"Papa Bear," "Mama Bear," and "Baby Bear."
While reading the excerpt, Ricardo remembered
hearing about black holes in school, and it made him
interested to learn more.
