______Cinco de Mayo George Washington Name ______Carver Reading Comprehension Read the passage below and answer the questions George Washington Carver (Jan. 1864 – Jan. 5, 1943) changed agriculture, or the growing of crops and raising of farm animals, in the Southern United States. He was a great scientist, botanist, inventor, and teacher. Carver’s exact birthdate is unknown, but it is known that he was born a slave. When he was young, he was interested in plants. His interest in plants earned him the nickname the “Plant Doctor.” He even had his own secret garden in which he would experiment with his plants. Carver later went on to teach at the Tuskegee Institute, where he was the head of the Agriculture Department. Under his leadership, the department became a strong research center. He developed and published new uses for crops which improved farmers’ ability to make money. He created over 100 peanut products that were useful for the home and family farm. These products included cosmetics, dyes, paints, plastics, and gasoline. Carver taught methods of crop rotation, or planting different crops in the same soil in order to improve the soil. These methods helped farmers to use soil more efficiently and to make more money. Poor farmers used these methods and ideas to improve their way of life. George Washington Carver accomplished all of this during a time when it was not believed that African Americans were equal. Carver made great strides to change these beliefs. 20 "Little School on the Range" 2017 George Washington Name ______Carver Reading Comprehension 1. What do you think that agriculture means? ______2.

Martin Luther King, Jr. was born on January 15, 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia. He grew up to be a minister and a civil rights activist, or someone who works to change things they believe are wrong. When Martin was in high school, he was so smart that he skipped two grades. He started college at the age of 15. Most people don’t go to college until they’re 18. He graduated from Morehouse with a degree in sociology. After that, he earned a divinity degree, or a degree to become a church pastor. Later, he earned his doctor’s degree in theology. Martin was inspired to become a minister because his father was a preacher too. He married Coretta Scott in 1953. They went on to have four children. He first became involved in the civil rights movement when he led the Montgomery Bus Boycott. This started when Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a bus to a white man and was arrested. In turn, Martin organized a boycott, in which people stopped using the buses in Montgomery until segregation on buses came to an end. After a year, the boycott proved to be successful. Martin organized the famous “March on Washington” in 1963. Over 250,000 people attended to show their support for the civil rights movement. During this march, Martin gave his famous “I Have a Dream” speech. The march was a success and the Civil Rights Act passed a year later in 1964. On April 4, 1968 he was shot and killed on the balcony of his Memphis hotel. His ideas about equal rights and

justice for all helped to change the world for the better. 22 "Little School on the Range" 2017 Name ______Martin Luther King, Jr. Reading Comprehension 1.

Amelia Earhart was born in Atchison, Kansas on July 24, 1897. As a little girl, Amelia was adventurous. She enjoyed exploring her neighborhood, climbing trees, hunting for rats, and riding on her sled. In 1920, Amelia attended a Long Beach airshow that transformed, or changed her life. After taking a ten minute plane ride, Amelia knew that she was meant to fly. In order to learn to take flying lessons, she worked a variety of jobs. She worked as a photographer and even a truck driver. To learn more about flying, Amelia read all the books about flying that she could find and spent much of her time at the airfield. In 1923, she became the 16th woman to receive a pilot’s license. Although many saw Amelia as a shy and timid woman, she was actually a brave and remarkable person. She was an intelligent pilot who never panicked. Amelia went on to set many records and make great achievements. In 1932, she became the first woman to ever fly across the Atlantic Ocean. She later went on to become the person to ever fly across both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Amelia wanted to become the first person to circumnavigate, or travel around the world at the equator. She set out on her flight to do this on March 17, 1937. However, on July 3 Amelia was heard from for the last time and her plane disappeared. To this day, it is still a mystery as to what happened to Amelia Earhart. 24
