You Selected: Metaphor Machines

ELA R.1.1: Identify and use the literal and figurative meanings of words and understand word derivations.

ELA R.2.3: Generate relevant questions about readings on issues that can be researched.

ELA R.2.5: Extend ideas presented in primary or secondary sources through original analysis, evaluation, and elaboration.

ELA R.3.7: Recognize and understand the significance of various literary devices, including figurative language, imagery, allegory, and symbolism, and explain their appeal.

ELA R.3.11: Evaluate the aesthetic qualities of style, including the impact of diction and figurative language on tone, mood, and theme, using the terminology of literary criticism. (Aesthetic approach)

ELA R.3.12: Analyze the way in which a work of literature is related to the themes and issues of its historical period. (Historical approach)

ELA L.1.3: Choose logical patterns of organization (e.g., chronological, topical, cause and effect) to inform and to persuade, by soliciting agreement or action, or to unite audiences behind a common belief or cause.

ELA L.1.7: Use props, visual aids, graphs, and electronic media to enhance the appeal and accuracy of presentations.

ELA L.1.8: Produce concise notes for extemporaneous delivery.

ELA L.1.9: Analyze the occasion and the interests of the audience and choose effective verbal and nonverbal techniques (e.g., voice, gestures, eye contact) for presentations.

ELA L.2.2.b: Convey information and ideas from primary and secondary sources accurately and coherently.

ELA L.2.2.c: Make distinctions between the relative value and significance of specific data, facts, and ideas.

ELA L.2.2.d: Include visual aids by employing appropriate technology to organize and display information on charts, maps, and graphs.

Math AI.1.1: Students use properties of numbers to demonstrate whether assertions are true or false.

Math AI.13.0: Students add, subtract, multiply, and divide rational expressions and functions. Students solve both computationally and conceptually challenging problems by using these techniques.

Math AI.15.0: Students apply algebraic techniques to solve rate problems, work problems, and percent mixture problems.

Math AI.25.1: Students use properties of numbers to construct simple, valid arguments (direct and indirect) for, or formulate counterexamples to, claimed assertions.

Science MF.1.b: Students know that when forces are balanced, no acceleration occurs; thus an object continues to move at a constant speed or stays at rest (Newton's first law).

Science MF.1.c: Students know how to apply the law F = ma to solve one-dimensional motion problems that involve constant forces (Newton's second law).

Science MF.1.d: Students know that when one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object always exerts a force of equal magnitude and in the opposite direction (Newton's third law).

Science MF.1.e: Students know the relationship between the universal law of gravitation and the effect of gravity on an object at the surface of Earth.

Science MF.1.f: Students know applying a force to an object perpendicular to the direction of its motion causes the object to change direction but not speed (e.g., Earth's gravitational force causes a satellite in a circular orbit to change direction but not speed).

Science CE.2.a: Students know how to calculate kinetic energy by using the formula E = (1/2)mv².

Science CE.2.b: Students know how to calculate changes in gravitational potential energy near Earth by using the formula (change in potential energy) = mgh (h is the change in the elevation).

History/Social Science 10.2.3: Understand the unique character of the American Revolution, its spread to other parts of the world, and its continuing significance to other nations.

History/Social Science 10.2.4: Explain how the ideology of the French Revolution led France to develop from constitutional monarchy to democratic despotism to the Napoleonic empire.

History/Social Science 10.3.1: Analyze why England was the first country to industrialize.

History/Social Science 10.3.2: Examine how scientific and technological changes and new forms of energy brought about massive social, economic, and cultural change (e.g., the inventions and discoveries of James Watt, Eli Whitney, Henry Bessemer, Louis Pasteur, Thomas Edison).

History/Social Science 10.3.7: Describe the emergence of Romanticism in art and literature (e.g., the poetry of William Blake and William Wordsworth), social criticism (e.g., the novels of Charles Dickens), and the move away from Classicism in Europe.

History/Social Science 10.4.4: Describe the independence struggles of the colonized regions of the world, including the roles of leaders, such as Sun Yat-sen in China, and the roles of ideology and religion.
