LEGO Builders Can Go Pro
Let's say you're spending the day building a LEGO model. You rummage through multitudes of multicolored bricks until you spot—aha!—just the right sizes and shapes. You arrange and assemble them, carefully constructing your masterpiece brick by brick. The reward for your stick-to-itiveness might be a car, a castle, or a character from your favorite movie. It could be a dinosaur, a donut shop, or a detailed replica of the International Space Station. Now imagine you had something else to show for your efforts…a paycheck!
That's all in a day's work for LEGO model designers. These creative professionals earn a living by playing with the popular plastic construction toys. They develop the designs for the LEGO sets sold around the world, from simple products for young kids to monumental challenges for collectors. Open any LEGO box and you can see the results of hundreds of choices made by designers. They decide on the shapes, sizes, colors, and quantities of the pieces and how they fit together.
But not all their creations are destined to be packaged in a box and sold from store shelves. Designers also get to make the models used in LEGO movies, as well as plan and construct the miniature metropolises and larger-than-life figures at LEGOLAND theme parks. Imagine getting paid to build an 8-foot (2.4-meter) sculpture of Batman out of LEGO bricks. Now that's a dream job with super fun benefits!
Designers use their imaginations and problem-solving skills to turn ideas into reality, staying involved from conception to production. To develop a design, they use both hands-on and digital techniques. They might begin by settling down with a bunch of bricks, trying out different ideas and combinations. Once they've put together a workable physical model, they recreate their design virtually using animation software.
What kind of education and experience do you need to land this gig? Many LEGO model designers studied 3-D (three-dimensional) arts or architecture in college. But the ability to transform a pile of plastic pieces into a masterful model is essential. That means one of the best ways to prepare for this job is to spend a lot of time…playing with LEGO! If you like to while away hour after hour up to your elbows in those beloved bricks, you could be building a strong foundation for a career.
For LEGO model designers, creativity is key, so if you're interested in going pro, think outside the box. It's great to be able to follow the directions to build a packaged model. But coming up with your own creations can be even more constructive. The company suggests that would-be designers start by using LEGO bricks to copy real-world objects, then move on to envisioning fantastical creations fresh from their own imaginations.
Need some inspiration to build on? The LEGO Group's website LEGO Ideas (ideas.lego.com) is a hub for dedicated LEGO fans of all ages. Kids, teens, and AFOLs (Adult Fans of LEGO) can share their creations with other LEGO enthusiasts. They can take part in activities and challenges and enter contests to win prizes, including LEGO sets, shopping sprees, or even trips. So even if you're not ready to put together a plan for a career as a LEGO model designer, there are still some ways to play with these cool construction toys for fun and profit!

Read the following passage from "What Does American Democracy Mean to Me" by Mary McLeod Bethune and answer the question that follows:

As we have been extended a measure of democracy, we have brought to the nation rich gifts. We have helped to build America with our labor, strengthened it with our faith and enriched it with our song. We have given you Paul Lawrence Dunbar, Booker T. Washington, Marian Anderson and George Washington Carver. But even these are only the first fruits of a rich harvest, which will be reaped when new and wider fields are opened to us.

Which of the following is the best paraphrase of the above passage?

1. America is like a great farmland of amazing people doing amazing things. We have given our gifts to help this country grow and we will continue to harvest.
2. "As we have been extended a measure of democracy, we have brought to the nation rich gifts. We have helped to build America with our labor, strengthened it with our faith and enriched it with our song. We have given you Paul Lawrence Dunbar, Booker T. Washington, Marian Anderson and George Washington Carver. But even these are only the first fruits of a rich harvest, which will be reaped when new and wider fields are opened to us."
3. Democracy is great and we're glad to be part of it. We're glad to help America grow with our work, our religion, our songs, our authors, and our inventors.
4. Mary Mcleod Bethune says that when democracy applies to her people even a little bit, it's been great for the country. Their hard work, their religious faith, their songs make America stronger. Paul Lawrence Dunbar, Booker T. Washington, Marian Anderson, and George Washington Carver are all amazing parts of this country. But there will be even more greatness when they have more rights.

Read the following excerpt from a speech about preserving historic buildings. Then, answer the question that follows.

Steeple Lofts, an apartment building, was originally a church built in 1868, and was once the tallest structure in South Philadelphia, a landmark to ships on the Delaware River. It has now been made into fancy apartments, preserving the original details of the building. If the church had been torn down instead, it would have ruined the entire neighborhood and led to all other historic buildings being torn down. That's why it's important to preserve historic buildings.

Which type of figurative language is used as a rhetorical device in the bolded passage?

Allusion, because the Steeple Lofts apartment building is located near a river
Hyperbole, because failing to preserve the building would not literally ruin the entire neighborhood
Metaphor, because apartments are being compared to ships on the Delaware River
Personification, because the ships are described as having emotions and opinions

Use the conditional statement to answer the question.


If you live in San Diego, then you live in California.


What is the converse of the statement?

A. If you do not live in California, then you do not live in San Diego.

B. If you live in San Diego, then you do not live in California.

C. If you do not live in San Diego, then you do not live in California.

whats a sysmbol thats present in untwine

Picture this: a herd of elephants flies past you at sixty miles per hour, followed by a streak of tigers, a pride of lions, and a bunch of clowns. What do you see? It must be a circus train! One of the first uses of the circus train is credited to W.C. Coup. He partnered with P.T. Barnum in 1871 to expand the reach of their newly combined shows using locomotives. That's another word for train. You see, before trains, moving the circus was hard. They had to lug around all their animals, performers, and equipment with a team of more than 600 horses. Since there were no highways, these voyages were rough and took a long time. Circuses would stop at many small towns between the large venues. Performing at many of these small towns was not very profitable. Because of these limitations, circuses could not grow as large as the imaginations of the operators. After they began using circus trains, Barnum and Coup only brought their show to large cities. These performances were much more profitable and the profits went toward creating an even bigger and better circus. More stages or "rings" were added and the show went on. Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey Circus relied on the train to transport their astounding show until they went defunct in 2017.

It is my bees, however, which afford me the most pleasing and extensive themes; let me look at them when I will, their government, their industry, their quarrels, their passions, always present me with something new; for which reason, when weary with labour, my common place of rest is under my locust-tree, close by my bee-house. By their movements I can predict the weather, and can tell the day of their swarming …

Advertisements everywhere, I haven’t time to think1

without some local merchant selling me the kitchen sink. 2


All along my childhood, it’s been exceedingly bad— 3

from my diapers to my schoolbooks, there’s always been an ad. 4


Every show is brought to me by business courtesy; 5

every team I’ve been on has been sponsored for a fee. 6


Doesn’t matter what it is, if I’m their demographic, 7

they add MARSHMALLOWS! ‘til I think that I just have to have it. 8


I sing jingles when I read – their persistence is extreme! 9

I find ignoring messages to be a rough routine. 10


From getting up to lying down, the advertisements play, 11

but I’ve learned to lower volume and just to walk away. 12


Future kids will probably find that our great civilization13

was easily told that they’d be sold the world’s next great sensation, 14


so kids like me have got to see that most ads are promotion15

designed to throw a lasso over human beings’ emotion, 16


but happiness cannot be found in catalogs or stores, 17

and the pleasure that they’re marketing may already be yours. 18
