Dear students,
I would like you to read a Halloween scary story called "Dancing with the Devil". Then, do these activities:

1.- Find 10 irregular verbs.
2.- Write in your own words what these words mean: sparkly, preacher, determined, stammer, spin.
3.-Did the mother allow her to go to the dance? why?
4.- Why did the girl agree to dance with the man?
5.-What does the author mean by "he had spun the girl all the way to hell" at the end of the story?.
5. - Write a sentence or two to finish the story in a different way.

The Melting Pot

The melting pot idea is most strongly associated with the United States, particularly in reference to "model" immigrant groups of the past.

The "melting pot" metaphor implies both a melting of cultures and intermarriage of ethnicities yet cultural assimilation or acculturation can also occur without intermarriage. So African-Americans are fully culturally integrated into American culture and institutions. Yet more than a century after the abolition of slavery, intermarriage between African-Americans and other ethnicities is much less common than between different white ethnicities, or between white and Asian ethnicities. Intermarriage between whites and non-whites, and especially African-Americans, has long been a taboo in the United States, and was illegal in many US states until 1967.

Now, go online and find 3 examples of famous interracial couples and explain the ethnic group each one belongs to.
