Camila is taking notes as she re-reads the following passage: Aisha slunk out the backdoor, glad to finally have a break. As the heavy door closed behind her, the din of loud lunch goers barking orders over the deli counter was swallowed. Aisha leaned against the cool metal of the door and let the gentle sounds of the distant city ease her tension. If she closed her eyes, she could nearly convince herself she was on a bench at the park. A loud clatter broke the spell. Aisha opened her eyes just long enough to see a big rat run across her feet. Camila circles words in the passage such as "loud" and "barking" and "din." Then she underlines "gentle" and "cool". Under the paragraph, she writes "Although it never states it directly, it is clear that Aisha is fed up with her job. The back alley, even though she would rather be at a park, is described in much more positive terms than the restaurant inside. The rat, likely there for food from the restaurant, is a reminder of where she really is and is another negative associated with her job.

 a. Interpreting

Explanation:

Interpreting means using the information we can gather from the setting to think about what it means in the context of the story.

It´s not an evaluation, because Camila doesn´t create ideas outside of the realm of the text by adding her personal experiences and interpretations, nor is she Reading and Responding, which would require for her to connect what she´s reading with her own experience.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
