I miss English tests that had passages to read in. I always found them fun, haha.On my English EOC all the passages were about North Carolina.
One was about how Babe Ruth hit his first ever homerun in North Carolina. Another was about Black Beard and how he hung around the Outer Banks.
Another was about the Wright Brothers and their planes.
There was one about some famous trials that went on here (I don't remember the exact names but they were you know trials during the Civil Rights movement and stuff.
And a whole more. I know they're state made tests... but do they really need to have ALL the reading passages about NC?
"While Dad polished his new car, his four year old son picked up a stone and scratched lines on the side of the car.
In his anger, Dad took the son's hand and hit it many times, not realizing he was using a wrench.
At the hospital his child said, "Dad when will my fingers grow back?"
Dad was so hurt he went back to the car and kicked it a lot of times.
Sitting back, he looked at the scratched the child made, it read...
I LOVE YOU DADDY."
Please don't say I'm the only one who found that sad... or...

10. South Vietnam surrenders to North Vietnam.
On April 30, 1975, South Vietnam surrendered to North Vietnam which ended the Vietnam. We chose to show this by using a white cloth to symbolize a white flag, the commonly used symbol for surrender. This surrender was significant for the US because it was a communist victory. It meant that the US wasn't always going to be able to stop the spread of communism. It also meant the US could get out of the war. We ranked it as number 10 because, although it was significant, it wasn't a major thing for most living in the US.
9. Military assistance to Vietnam.
In 1960, President Johnson chose to send in troops to try to stop the spread of communist aggression in Vietnam. We showed this with the use of a military jacket that was used by the troops who participated in the fighting. The conflict led to a lot of poor people being recruited into the army. There were a lot of protests following this by the youth. We ranked it number 9 because it strengthened the youth's involvement in society, but that involvement has weakened since then.
8. Fall of the Berlin Wall/Germany reunited
After World War II, Germany and its capital city of Berlin were split into four sectors that were divided among the Allies, the United States, Great Britain, Italy, and the USSR. To prevent the people of East Berlin from fleeing to the non-communist West, the Soviets put up a wall that was in place until it was turn down beginning on November 9, 1989. This is represented with a rock that represents a piece of the destroyed wall. When the Berlin wall went down, it reunited Germany. All of the communism was out of Germany. We ranked this as number 8 because many viewed it as a victory over communism, but it didn't directly affect the US.
7. First man on the moon.
On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first man on the moon following a 'space race' with the Soviet Union. We chose to use a fake footprint to represent the print Armstrong left on the moon. The Soviets had been able to send the first satellite and the first people into space, but the US was first to actually get someone on the moon. It was seen as a victory against communism. We ranked it as 7 because it was a huge leap in the technology in the United States.
6. Interstate highway system.
In the 1950s, an interstate highway system was built to make travel between states more accessible to citizens. We used a toy car to symbolize all of the cars have used the interstate since its creation. There are now interstates that criss-cross the country and make it possible to drive from California to Florida or New York to Nevada. It changed how people traveled. We ranked it 6 because many people use the interstate system daily.
5. First televised presidential debate.
The first presidential debate that was shown on TV was the debate between Kennedy and Nixon on September 26, 1960. We used a paper TV to show this. 70 million people tuned in to watch. Those who watched felt that Kennedy was the clear victor while those who listened on the radio felt that Nixon was the winner. We chose this as number 5 because it changed the way that presidential debates were held.

That's weird. None of mine were about TN. Your passages seem better than mine, though. I had to read a two pager on wheat cropping. It was torture! That was the worst, though. I had one on shoes and backpacks, sandwiches, and some speech by Mark Twain.On my English EOC all the passages were about North Carolina.
One was about how Babe Ruth hit his first ever homerun in North Carolina. Another was about Black Beard and how he hung around the Outer Banks.
Another was about the Wright Brothers and their planes.
