Here’s another Aha Moment signpost, this time from The Watsons Go to Birmingham—1963, by Christopher Paul Curtis. In this passage, Kenny is on the school bus with his friend, Rufus and his younger brother Cody. Rufus and Cody are very poor, and a mean kid, Larry decides to make fun of the clothes Rufus and Cody wear. After a rude comment from Larry, everyone on the school bus, including Kenny, laughs. Read the passage below and highlight the portion that shows you that Kenny is having an aha moment. Then
answer the anchor question: How might this change things?

Maybe it was because everybody else was laughing, maybe it was because Cody had such a strange look on his face while he peeked at his underpants, maybe it was because I was glad that Larry hadn’t jumped on me, but whatever the reason was I cracked up too.

Rufus shot a look at me. His face never changed but I knew right away I’d done something wrong. I tried to squeeze the rest of my laugh down.

In the real world, feldman learned to settle for less than 95 percent. he came to consider a company “honest” if its payment rate was above 90 percent. he considered a rate between 80 and 90 percent “annoying but tolerable.” if a company habitually paid below 80 percent, feldman might post a hectoring note, like this one: the cost of bagels has gone up dramatically since the beginning of the year. unfortunately, the number of bagels that disappear without being paid for has also gone up. don’t let that continue. i don’t imagine that you would teach your children to cheat, so why do it yourselves? the excerpt serves as which type of support for the authors’ argument? a claim an example a conclusion a counterclaim
