L ESSON 8 S ummarizing Informational Text T R A P 1 Introduction THEME: Finding the Past A summary restates the main points of an informational text. It is a shortened version of a text that contains the central idea and its key details. While a summary is written in your own words, it does not include your personal opinions or judgments. An illustration or photograph may also help convey the central idea and provide a visualization of supporting details. You might describe an article that you read about a new computer product to a friend or write a note about a new school policy to a classmate. Or you might send an email that describes a song that you just listened to. No matter what the occasion, summaries should be clear, concise, and brief. Read the text and study the illustration. At the Brookfield Zoo, a 3-year-old boy climbed a wall and fell 18 feet onto the concrete in the gorilla enclosure. People screamed when a Western Lowland gorilla, Binti Jua, raced toward the toddler. The gorilla cradled the boy, and then brought him to the zookeeper’s door. Binti Jua’s own baby clung to her back the entire time. The unconscious toddler was rushed to the hospital, where he recovered. Write a summary about the information above. ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ UNIT 2 Key Ideas and Details in Informational Text 83 © The Continental Press, Inc.

Did Sir Francis Drake Reach Alaska? by David Ager 1 Drake’s Bay is an inlet of the Pacific Ocean, north of San Francisco, California. It’s named for Sir Francis Drake, the English explorer, naval hero, and (some would say) pirate. He was supposed to have stopped here to repair his ship in 1579, during his famous round-the-world voyage. “Supposed to have,” since no proof of his visit has ever been found. Drake is said to have put into “a faire and good bay” at about 38 degrees north latitude. That would place it near San Francisco, all right. But archaeologists have searched all the bays in the area. A brass plate discovered in 1936 and once believed to have been left by Drake was later admitted to have been a fake. Other than that, nothing has been found. 2 Some historians and amateurs studying old books and maps think they know why. An English engineer named Bob Ward has maintained since 1978 that Drake’s anchorage was actually a place called Whale Cove, at around 44 degrees north near Depoe Bay, Oregon. In 1971, Wayne Jensen, the director of a local museum farther north along the Oregon coast, determined that Drake’s landing was actually Nehalem Bay. Jensen found markings carved on a nearby mountain that could have been made by Drake’s crew. A book published in 2008 by Garry D. Gitzen that supports the Nehalem Bay theory was described in the Oregon Archaeological Society newsletter as “magnificent and without parallel.” 3 Samuel Bawlf, a maritime enthusiast and former government official of the Canadian province of British Columbia, first supported the Whale Cove theory. But in 2003, Bawlf published The Secret Voyage of Sir Francis Drake, 1577–1580. In this book, Bawlf claimed that “Drake’s Bay” was actually on Vancouver Island, in British Columbia, opposite the northwest coast of the US state of Washington. He also asserted that Drake sailed as far as the coast of Alaska, at 50 degrees north, before turning back south. 84 UNIT 2 Key Ideas and Details in Informational Text © The Continental Press, Inc.

This was to keep news idea of the bullet of their discoveries from reaching England’s enemy, points? Underline Spain. Drake’s maps and journals were seized and never three key details seen again. But details of the voyage leaked out. Several that show this. “secondhand” accounts appeared even before Drake’s death in 1596. Two handwritten accounts are preserved in the British Library in London. They both give the latitude of Drake’s anchorage as 44 degrees. • No Europeans are known to have explored the northwest Pacific

  • Whale Cove (35LNC60): an Archaeological Investigation Or the Central Oregon Coast
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Ann C. Bennett for the degree of Master of Arts in Interdisciplinary Studies in AnthroPologv. Anthropology and Statistics presented on June 29. 1988 . Title: Whale Cove (35LNC60): An Archaeological Investigation or the Central Oregon Coast. Redacted for Privacy Abstract approved: Richard E. Ross The Whale Cove Site, 35LNC60, is a shell midden, showing occupations from 3010 B.P. to 330 B.P., spanning the Early and Late Littoral Periods. Analysis of mammalian faunal remains, bone and antler tools, lithics and discriptions of recovered shellfish artifacts allows for chronological refinement of the previously mentioned archeologically defined periods. The data suggest that during the Early Littoral Period terrestrial resources were still a major focus of the subsistence system; that the distribution of marine mammals, specifically northern fur seals and California sea lions, were not similar to their known historic distributions and that the coastal area was occupied for most of the year, if not year around. The data from the Late Littoral suggest the utilization of the coast in terms of a subsistence economy similar to that of a logistic collector focusing on the seasonal exploitation of harbor seals and with less diversity in the other analysed material culture remains.

  • Francis Drake's 1579 Voyage
    Francis Drake’s 1579 voyage: Assessing linguistic evidence for an Oregon landing∗ John Lyon Drake Anchorage Research Collaboration Department of Linguistics, University of British Columbia Abstract: This article consists of a linguistic investigation of the hypothesis that Sir Francis Drake may have landed somewhere on the Oregon coast in 1579 rather than in California, as is usually assumed (Heizer 1974; Heizer and Elmendorf 1942), and surveys language data from select Native Oregon languages. There are some compelling and plausible matches which come to light in this study, and though they are by themselves inconclusive as evidence, that should be consid- ered in light of any forthcoming physical evidence, especially since some of the matches from these Oregon languages are as-close-to or stronger than the Miwok correspondences cited in Heizer and Elmendorf (1942) and Heizer (1974). 1 Introduction This article reports on the results from an investigation by the Drake Anchorage Research Collaboration (DARC) into the origins of linguistic material collected during Francis Drake’s journey up the Pacific Coast in 1579 (Drake 1628). The chief purpose of the investigation is to assess whether or not Drake may have contacted an Oregon group, particularly of Salishan, ‘Penutian’1, or Athabaskan- speaking stock, rather than ancestors of the California Coast Miwok, as is gener- ally assumed (Heizer 1947; Heizer and Elmendorf 1942).2 The relevant linguistic material from Drake’s voyage consists of short word lists collected by (i) Francis ∗The Drake Anchorage Research Collaboration (DARC) consists of Melissa Darby, Lee Lyman, John Lyon, Margaret Mathewson, Gary Wessen, Heather Wolfe, Lawrence Conyers, Roddy Coleman, and Peter Mancall.

  • Francis Drakes and Dragons Hdt What? Index
    SIR FRANCIS DRAKES AND DRAGONS HDT WHAT? INDEX SIR FRANCIS DRAKE FRANCIS DRAKE 1540 It was in about this year1 that Francis Drake was born at Crowndale near Tavistock in Devonshire, along the river Tavy which eventually empties into the sea near Plymouth. His grandparents held a lease there on about 180 acres of farmland and were making what likely was a reasonable living as farmers, and his father Edmund Drake and mother Xxxxxxx Mylwaye Drake (given name unknown) were staying with them. The couple would have a dozen sons of whom Francis was eldest. Francis’s father was possibly a sailor but most likely also a farmer, and possibly also a petty criminal, and had been born on this property. The family was Protestant and while Francis was still a youth, they would move to the port of Kent to live in the hulk of an old ship while the father eked out a living ministering to the Chatham sailors. 1. The date of birth is established primarily on the basis of a dated portrait said to represent Drake at a particular age. That’s not a whole lot to go on, and the years 1538-1542 are possible. HDT WHAT? INDEX SIR FRANCIS DRAKE FRANCIS DRAKE 1550 It would be during the 1550s that Francis Drake would first be going to sea, as a lad apprenticed to the elderly master of a small coastal freighter engaged in the Thames trade. He would apparently do well both nautically and personally, as this old captain, without a family of his own, would will his little ship to his young helper.
