+--------------+---+----------------------------------+---+------------------+
| Shannon      |   | Last night, I met some friends.  |   |                  |
|              |   | We went to a restaurant. We      |   |                  |
|              |   | drank some tea. We ate           |   |                  |
|              |   | hamburgers.                      |   |                  |
+--------------+---+----------------------------------+---+------------------+
| Grandpa      |   | That sounds fun, Shannon. Having |   |                  |
|              |   | friends is very special. How is  |   |                  |
|              |   | school, Lloyd?                   |   |                  |

| Lloyd        |   | Fine. We had a Thanksgiving      |   |                  |
|              |   | party yesterday. Now, I have     |   |                  |
|              |   | homework! I need to write a      |   |                  |
|              |   | report on Thanksgiving. My topic |   |                  |
|              |   | is, "Why are you thankful?" I am |   |                  |
|              |   | thankful for many things. I need |   |                  |
|              |   | to write about them.             |   |                  |
+--------------+---+----------------------------------+---+------------------+
| Lu           |   | I need to write a report on      |   |                  |
|              |   | Thanksgiving, too. I don't know  |   |                  |
|              |   | about Thanksgiving. I need to go |   |                  |
|              |   | to the library.                  |   |                  |
+--------------+---+----------------------------------+---+------------------+
| Grandma      |   | I brought an article for you. It |   |                  |
|              |   | is from our newspaper. It tells  |   |                  |
|              |   | the history of the most famous   |   |                  |
|              |   | Thanksgiving. You should read    |   |                  |
|              |   | it.                              |   |                  |
+--------------+---+----------------------------------+---+------------------+
| Lu           |   | Thank you! I will read it        |   |                  |
|              |   | tonight.                         |   |                  |
+--------------+---+----------------------------------+---+------------------+
| Grandma to   |   | What did you do at your          |   |                  |
| Lloyd        |   | Thanksgiving party?              |   |                  |
+--------------+---+----------------------------------+---+------------------+
| Lloyd        |   | We did lots of things. The       |   |                  |
|              |   | teacher brought a turkey. We ate |   |                  |
|              |   | all of it! We drank apple juice. |   |                  |
|              |   | We made Thanksgiving             |   |                  |
|              |   | decorations. We watched          |   |                  |
|              |   | something really cool, too.      |   |                  |
+--------------+---+----------------------------------+---+------------------+
| Lu           |   | What did you watch?              |   |                  |
+--------------+---+----------------------------------+---+------------------+
| Lloyd        |   | Donna is a girl in my class. She |   |                  |
|              |   | is Cherokee. She brought many    |   |                  |
|              |   | Cherokee things to class. She    |   |                  |
|              |   | danced a Native American dance.  |   |                  |
|              |   | It was cool!                     |   |                  |
+--------------+---+----------------------------------+---+------------------+
| Lu           |   | I'm sorry. I don't understand.   |   |                  |
|              |   | What is Cherokee?                |   |                  |
+--------------+---+----------------------------------+---+------------------+
| Shannon      |   | The Cherokee people are Native   |   |                  |
|              |   | Americans. There are many Native |   |                  |
|              |   | American groups in the U.S. Some |   |                  |
|              |   | people call them Indians.        |   |                  |

| Grandpa      |   | Can you show us the dance?       |   |                  |
+--------------+---+----------------------------------+---+------------------+
| Lloyd        |   | No, I can't. I can't show you    |   |                  |
|              |   | the dance because I can't dance. |   |                  |
|              |   | But Donna was really good!       |   |                  |

| Grandpa      |   | What did Donna bring to class?   |   |                  |
+--------------+---+----------------------------------+---+------------------+
| Lloyd        |   | She brought her grandmother's    |   |                  |
|              |   | dance costume. It was beautiful. |   |                  |
|              |   | It had many beads. I can't       |   |                  |
|              |   | describe it very well.           |   |                  |
+--------------+---+----------------------------------+---+------------------+

+--------------+---+----------------------------------+---+------------------+
| Lloyd        |   | Donna is thankful because she    |   |                  |
|              |   | has a wonderful grandmother. I'm |   |                  |

| what did     | When a question begins with the   |                  |
| they         | pronoun "what," it signals that   |                  |
|              | the speaker wants or needs        |                  |
|              | information. This is called an    |                  |
|              | "interrogative." In the simple    |                  |
|              | past tense, question forms are    |                  |
|              | made using the auxiliary verb     |                  |
|              | \"do\" (in its past form,         |                  |
|              | \"did\") followed by the simple   |                  |
|              | form of the main verb.            |                  |
|              |                                   |                  |
|              | Examples are "What did you        |                  |
|              | watch?" "What did you do?" The    |                  |
|              | main verbs are "watch" and "do."  |                  |

| because      | "Because" means "for the reason   |                  |
|              | or cause that" or "the reason     |                  |
|              | that." "Because" is a             |                  |
|              | conjunction. A conjunction is a   |                  |
|              | word or phrase that connects      |                  |
|              | other words, phrases or clauses.  |                  |
|              | There are three types of          |                  |
|              | conjunctions: **coordinating**,   |                  |
|              | **correlative** and               |                  |
|              | **subordinating**. "Because" is a |                  |
|              | subordinating conjunction. It is  |                  |
|              | used to join a dependent clause   |                  |
|              | to a main clause.                 |                  |
|              |                                   |                  |
|              | Here, the Pilgrims were thankful  |                  |
|              | **because** they had enough food  |                  |
|              | for the next winter. "Because"    |                  |
|              | joins the two clauses and gives   |                  |
|              | the reason the Pilgrims were      |                  |

| they didn't  | "Do" is an auxiliary or helping   |                  |
|              | verb, which is used to help form  |                  |
|              | the voices, tenses or moods of    |                  |
|              | other verbs. A verb tense is the  |                  |
|              | property of the verb that         |                  |
|              | expresses time. "Not" is a word   |                  |

|              | The simple past tense of "do" is  |                  |
|              | "did." When "did" is combined     |                  |
|              | with "not," the word "didn't" is  |                  |
|              | formed. "Didn't" means that no    |                  |
|              | action happened.                  |                  |

|              | When used with a pronoun, "can"   |                  |
|              | expresses someone's ability to do |                  |
|              | something. "Not" is a word that   |                  |

|              | "not," the word "can't" or        |                  |
|              | "cannot" expresses someone's      |                  |
|              | inability to do something. To     |                  |
|              | say, "I can't dance," means that  |                  |

| left, taught | Verb tenses express time. A verb  |                  |
|              | in the **past tense** expresses   |                  |
|              | an action that has already        |                  |

|              | of "regular" verbs in English,    |                  |

|              | word. For example, the past tense |                  |
|              | of "want" is "wanted."            |                  |

|              | things. You leave the word alone, |                  |

| Indians      | Indians are also known as Native  |                  |
|              | Americans. They were mistakenly   |                  |
|              | called Indians because            |                  |

| Pilgrims     | There were two major groups of    |                  |
|              | believers who disagreed with the  |                  |

|              | Church of England. One group      |                  |
|              | wanted to stay in the church, but |                  |
|              | hoped to change its forms of      |                  |
|              | worship: This group was called    |                  |
|              | \"Puritan\" because they wanted   |                  |
|              | to \"purify\" the church. The     |                  |
|              | other group did not believe the   |                  |
|              | state church could be changed:    |                  |
|              | This group was called             |                  |
|              | \"Separatist\" because they       |                  |

|              | from the Church of England. These |                  |

| ##           | Thanksgiving is one of the most popular holidays in   |
| Thanksgiving | the United States of America. Traditionally,          |
|              | Thanksgiving is a holiday that Americans spend        |
|              | together with their families. They enjoy a special    |
|              | Thanksgiving meal, which usually includes the         |
|              | traditional Thanksgiving turkey.                      |
|              |                                                       |
|              | The Thanksgiving story is one of the best stories of  |
|              | American history. Although there were other           |
|              | thanksgiving celebrations, this is the most famous.   |
|              | It began with a group of people called the Pilgrims.  |
|              | They were Europeans who were fleeing religious        |
|              | prosecution in their native England. They came to     |
|              | North America (which they called the New World) on a  |
|              | ship called the Mayflower. The first winter was hard  |
|              | to the Pilgrims. The cold, snow and sleet were        |
|              | exceptionally heavy. The rough weather conditions     |
|              | interfered with the workers as they tried to          |
|              | construct their settlement. March brought warmer      |
|              | weather and the health of the Pilgrims improved, but  |
|              | more than half of the original group died during the  |
|              | long winter.                                          |
|              |                                                       |
|              | In the spring, the settlers were visited by some      |
|              | Native Americans who offered their help. Their visit  |
|              | was very important. The Pilgrims probably wouldn't    |
|              | have survived without the help of the Native          |
|              | Americans (or Indians, as they are sometimes called). |
|              | The Native Americans taught the Pilgrims how to tap   |
|              | the maple trees for sap, how to identify which plants |
|              | were poisonous and which had medicinal powers, and    |
|              | how to plant crops, including an important food crop  |
|              | \-- corn. The harvest in October was very successful  |
|              | and the Pilgrims had enough food to get through the   |
|              | winter. There was corn, fruits and vegetables, fish   |
|              | to be packed in salt, and meat to be cured over smoky |
|              | fires.                                                |
|              |                                                       |
|              | The Pilgrim Governor, William Bradford, proclaimed a  |
|              | day of thanksgiving to be shared by all the colonists |
|              | and the neighboring Native Americans. The celebration |
|              | lasted for 3 days. One of the Pilgrims wrote about    |
|              | that celebration. It became the basis of the modern   |
|              | American Thanksgiving tradition. However, it took a   |
|              | while to become popular.                              |
|              |                                                       |
|              | Over a hundred years after the Pilgrims' celebration, |
|              | the first U.S. president, George Washington, issued a |
|              | Thanksgiving Day proclamation. He designated the      |
|              | fourth Thursday of each November as the holiday.      |
|              | However, it wasn't until almost 80 years later that   |
|              | the holiday began to be observed regularly. Another   |
|              | famous American president, Abraham Lincoln,           |
|              | specifically appointed the fourth November Thursday   |
|              | as national day of thanksgiving. Thanksgiving has     |
|              | been celebrated all over the country ever since then. |
|              |                                                       |
|              | Current American Thanksgiving celebrations and        |
|              | traditions include gathering with friends and family  |
|              | to express their gratitude for one another and        |
|              | celebrate their good fortune. This is often done by   |
|              | sharing a traditional meal, watching football or      |
|              | parades on TV, or volunteering for charity            |
|              | organizations.                                        |
|              |                                                       |
|              | The traditional thanksgiving meal includes a large    |
|              | turkey (a North American bird), dressing, gravy,      |
|              | cranberry sauce, yams, and green beans. Pumpkin pie   |
|              | is common dessert at Thanksgiving dinner. Some        |
|              | families show their gratitude by volunteering for     |
|              | charity organizations that feed and house the         |
|              | homeless.                                             |
|              |                                                       |
|              | For other families, Thanksgiving means football.      |
|              | American football is very popular and there are many  |
|              | games on television over the four day holiday.        |
|              | Families like to watch the games, then go outside and |
|              | play a family game of football. Another recent        |
|              | tradition in American culture is watching Macy's      |
|              | Thanksgiving Day parade on television. For over 75    |
|              | Years, Macy\'s department store in New York City has  |
|              | hosted a European-style parade which both celebrates  |
|              | America and signals the beginning of the Christmas    |
|              | season.                                               |
|              |                                                       |
|              | Thanksgiving is the most celebrated, uniquely         |
|              | American holiday of all the holidays observed in the  |
|              | United States.                                        |

| ## Charity   | Many charity organizations receive prominent          |
|              | attention during the Thanksgiving and Christmas       |
|              | holidays. This happens for several reasons. First, in |
|              | many parts of the United States, the months of        |
|              | November, December, and January are the coldest time  |
|              | of the year, and poor people need help dealing with   |
|              | the climate. Some organizations provide assistance by |
|              | helping to pay expensive heating bills. Other         |
|              | organizations give out warm clothing and blankets. In |
|              | fact, clothing drives and winter coat drives are      |
|              | common in the northern states during the winter       |
|              | months.                                               |
|              |                                                       |
|              | Another reason for the focus on charity is that many  |
|              | people are hungry. Food drives for the needy are      |
|              | frequently highlighted at this time. Many people      |
|              | consider the Thanksgiving meal to be very important,  |
|              | and they want to give a good meal to as many people   |
|              | as possible. The food drives support the Thanksgiving |
|              | concept of being thankful for one's good fortune and  |
|              | helping those who are less fortunate.                 |
|              |                                                       |
|              | A third reason for the interest in charity is that    |
|              | Christmas is a time for giving presents. Many         |
|              | charities try to capitalize on a e "spirit of giving" |
|              | that is more common during the Christmas season, For  |
|              | example, all over the U.S. volunteers stand at the    |
|              | entrance of shopping areas. They dress in Santa Claus |
|              | suits, ring bells, and ask for donations for the poor |
|              | and needy. They are organized by a group called the   |
|              | Salvation Army, a large charity organization.         |
|              |                                                       |
|              | There is also a financial reason for the increased    |
|              | interest in giving to charities at the end of the     |
|              | year. In the U.S., charitable donations are often     |
|              | used to offset income tax obligations. People who     |
|              | give money to charities do not have to pay as much in |
|              | taxes as those people who don't give money. However,  |
|              | the donations must be made by December 31, the end of |
|              | the tax year. This coincides with the winter holiday  |
|              | season and, in particular, Christmas.                 |

| ## Nati      | The first Native Americans came to this continent     |
| ve Americans | over 20,000 years ago during the Ice Age. They either |
|              | followed game across a land bridge from Siberia to    |
|              | Alaska or followed the coastline in boats. They had   |
|              | settled most of the Americas by the time the          |
|              | Europeans arrived to stay in 1492. They are often     |
|              | called Indians because Christopher Columbus           |
|              | originally thought he had landed in the West Indies.  |
|              |                                                       |
|              | The Native Americans had a big impact on the spread   |
|              | of European culture throughout North America, such as |
|              | Sakajawea\' assisting the Lewis and Clark expedition  |
|              | across America. The names of 28 of the 50 United      |
|              | States are derived from the names of Native American  |
|              | nations.                                              |
|              |                                                       |
|              | Today there are approximately 2 million Native        |
|              | Americans in the United States and another 1 million  |
|              | in Canada. They speak over 150 different languages in |
|              | these two countries. Some Native Americans live in    |
|              | cities and towns, while others live in reservations:  |
|              | special villages and lands that are under Indian      |
|              | jurisdiction.                                         |
|              |                                                       |
|              | There are more than 700 tribes in the United States,  |
|              | including 223 village groups in Alaska. 275 Indian    |
|              | land areas in the United States are administered as   |
|              | Indian reservations. The largest is the Navajo        |
|              | reservation, which covers 16 million acres of land in |
|              | Arizona, New Mexico and Utah. However, many           |
|              | reservations are less than 1,000 acres.               |
|              |                                                       |
|              | Native American culture permeates United States       |
|              | society. Their weavings, pottery and jewelry,         |
|              | produced by many different tribes, are highly prized  |
|              | among collectors. And non-Native American people      |
|              | regularly attend their ceremonial dances and          |
|              | celebrations.                                         |
