Lesson 12 - Maniac Magee The Good Samaritan (pg. 19) Repeated words and phrases throughout books help us determine what the author intends for us to learn. Let’s take a look in our story all the way back to page 19. That's where Arnold Jones was being held over Finsterwald’s fence. The book says that the Phantom Samaritan hauled Arnold Jones out of there like a sack of flour. I know that the word Samaritan is going to be important in our story so we are going to stop reading the book here today to think about what that word means. What is a Good Samaritan? The origin of this word comes from the Christian Bible where Jesus told the story of the Good Samaritan. This story has had an effect on our lives even today as we use this term in our culture. The word Samaritan is even in some of our common laws. Today we’re going to learn more about the Good Samaritan story. After reading the story below, see if you can answer this question; What is a good Samaritan? (from CrosssroadsKidsClub.net: God's Story: The Good Samaritan ) When Jesus lived on Earth he often told stories to teach things. Stories that teach a lesson are called parables. One day, Jesus told a parable about a good guy from a place called Samaria, a Good Samaritan. It all started when a Jewish expert in the law asked Jesus, “What must I do to receive eternal life?” Basically, he was asking, “What do I have to do to be perfect?” Since this guy was an expert in the law, he thought he already knew how to be perfect because he knew all the rules. He just wanted to see what Jesus would say. Of course, Jesus knew what the man was thinking so he asked the man, “What is written in the law?” The man said, “Love the Lord your God with all your God with all your heart and all your soul. Love Him with all your strength, and with all your mind. And Love your neighbor as you love yourself.” So he asked Jesus, “Then who is my neighbor?” Jesus answered him by telling this story: A Jewish man was going down to Jerusalem from Jericho when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes and beat him and left him there, half dead. A priest happened to be going down the same road and when he saw the man he crossed the street and passed by on the other side. You might expect a priest, who was supposed to serve God, to help, but he didn’t stop. Then a Levite came by and saw the man, but he passed by too, without helping. Then a Samaritan man came by. People from Samaria and Jewish people from Israel did not get along. However, when the Samaritan saw the man, he took pity on him. He went to him and bandaged his wounds. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn (that’s like a hotel) and took care of him. The next day he took out money and gave it to the innkeeper. “Look after the man,” he said. “And when I return I will pay you back for any extra expense you have.” Then Jesus asked, “Which of these three men do you think was neighbor to the man who fell into hands of robbers?” The expert in the law didn’t even want to say the word, Samaritan, but he admitted, “The one who had mercy on him.” Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.” In other words, go and love everyone, even people we don’t like or people who everybody else wants to avoid. See, when we show love, we are obeying Jesus. Obeying God doesn’t mean just doing what His rules say, it means loving HIm more than anything and showing His love to every single person that we meet.

Machines are objects that make it easier

for people to do work. Not all machines

have lots of parts or motors.

Simple machines have only one or two

main parts. A shovel, a screwdriver, a

knife, a broom, and even a slide on the

playground are all simple machines.

Let’s learn about the six types of simple

machines.

An inclined plane makes moving and

lifting things easier. It is a flat, slanted

surface that works like a ramp.

Have you ever seen someone load heavy

items into the back of a large truck? They

may have used a ramp, or inclined plane,

to load the truck more easily.

A wedge is a pair of inclined planes

attached back-to-back. A wedge is used

to force things apart.

Have you ever seen someone chop wood

with an ax? The head of an ax is a wedge.

A screw is a spiral wrapped around a

center post. When you turn it, it can lift

objects or hold two objects together.

Have you ever opened a bottle of water?

When you turn the cap one way, it opens.

If you turn it the other way, it seals the

bottle shut. The cap is a screw.

A lever is a bar that pivots or turns on a

fixed point. The fixed point is called the

fulcrum.

Have you ever played on a seesaw? The

seesaw is a lever. The support in the

middle is the fulcrum.

A pulley is a wheel that is used with a cord

or rope. When you pull it downward, the

other end lifts upward.

Have you ever seen someone hoist a flag

up a flagpole? The flag is attached to a

rope. At the top of the flagpole is a pulley.

When you pull the rope downward, the

flag rises up the pole.

A wheel and axle is made up of a wheel

with a rod attached to it. When the wheel

is turned, it turns the axle with it.

Have you ever turned a round doorknob to

open a door? When you turn a doorknob,

you are using a wheel and axle. The knob

is a wheel. The rod that it is attached to is

an axle.

Simple Machinesby Sandie Lee

We use simple machines every day. They help us lift, pull, transport, and hold objects together.

Without these very basic machines our lives would be much harder.

Amp Up Your Ramp - Inclined Plane

Imagine trying to carry a heavy box up a ladder. It would

probably be difficult and perhaps even dangerous. But if you

were to place a long sheet of plywood on the ladder and push

the box up, it would take less effort and energy.

You can see people using inclined planes, or ramps, all the time

in their daily lives. Have you ever seen a delivery truck with a

long ramp? The ramp helps people load or unload products

more easily. Have you ever seen a building with a ramp that

leads to a door? This is an inclined plane for people using

wheelchairs.

A ladder leaning on a wall is an inclined plane. Stairs are sloped to make an inclined plane. The

bottom of your bathtub is also an inclined plane because it is sloped to force water toward the

drain.

Get the ‘Wedge’ Edge

What has at least one slanting side and ends in a sharp edge?

A wedge. A wedge is similar to a ramp, but instead of moving

an object from here to there, it pushes it apart. The narrower

the wedge is, the easier it is to divide something.

Wedges can be sharp like axes, knives, or shovels. They can

also be round, like the tip of a nail or the tines of a fork. Just

imagine how difficult it would be to eat dinner without the help

of knives and forks to cut and pick up your food.

Super Teacher Worksheets - www.superteacherworksheets.com

Simply Screwy

Even a basic screw is a simple machine. A screw is made of two simple

machines combined together. An inclined plane is wrapped around a

wedge to form a screw. This wrapped inclined plane is called a thread.

When the thread of a screw is wide, it will be harder to turn. If it is narrow, it

will be easier to turn but it will take longer to fasten.

Jars, bottles, and their lids are also considered screws. Drill bits are screws

too.

The Clever Lever

Levers are able to help us lift heavy objects. It’s easy to

recognize a lever - many tools with a handle attached are

considered one.

Levers consist of a stick and a fulcrum (fuul-kruhm). The fulcrum

is the point on which the lever moves. By changing the position

of the fulcrum you will either gain or lose power - the closer the

fulcrum is to the object the easier it is to lift.

Seesaws, shovels, and crow bars are all levers.

The Wheel Deal

The wheel and axle is one of the oldest simple machines around. In fact,

a wheel was found dating back 5,500 years. A true simple wheel and

axle machine consists of a rod (axle) secured to a wheel.

A water faucet has a wheel and axle on it. The knob that you turn is the

wheel. When you turn the knob, you are also turning an axle that it's

attached to.

A fan is another example of a wheel and axle. The fan blades (wheel)

are attached to a rod (axle). When the motor is turned on, the fan

blades will spin and produce a nice cooling breeze on a hot day.

Super Teacher Worksheets - www.superteacherworksheets.com

Pull That Pulley

Take a wheel with a groove running around and it. Add an axle

and a rope or cable. Put them together and you have a pulley.

When you work with a pulley, lifting becomes a cinch. Why? The

rope on each side of the pulley supports half of the entire weight

of the object being lifted. With one pulley, you only need to use

half the force required to lift the object.

Imagine raising a flag to the top of the pole without a pulley.

How would you do it? You could take a ladder and climb to the

top and fasten the flag. You could use a ramp and push it to the

top. The easiest way would be to simply attache it to a pulley and hoist away. Letting pulleys do

the job is safe, simple, and fun!

Spotlight on PERCUSSION ! Timbre : “The unique quality of sound” of an instrument or voice.

How is Percussion sound produced? By striking, shaking, or scraping. How do you play these instruments? Hint: most percussion is hit or struck to make a sound.

snare drum maracas

timpani cymbals

Musical Expression “Dynamic Conducting Paddle” Project:

(1) Print out the dynamic markings below, and cut into four squares.

(2) Use a popsicle stick, pencil, or stick as the base. Tape or use a glue stick to stick the letters together, face out on either side of the stick to make a Conductor’s “paddle”. Put about 2 inches of the stick in between the papers (trim as needed).

(3) Get another person (Sibling, Parent, Friend) to sing or play a song you know, or use the composition you created using the rhythm cards from previous weeks activities, while you hold up one side to face them, then flip (rotate) the other side of each paddle. Explain what the letters mean:

f = Loud, p = Quiet, ff = Very Loud, pp = Very Quiet [Practice each one first]

Place one paddle in each hand. Raise one hand to start song ( only one hand can be up at a time ). “Conduct” the dynamic changes by twisting your wrist back and forth (to show the other side), and raising/ lowering your hands, to get 4 different markings. The musician has to change their volume level to match, but don’t switch too fast! Have fun taking turns “Dynamic Conducting” and “Performing”!

Percussion Artist:

Ernesto Antonio "Tito" Puente was an American musician, songwriter and record  producer. He was a native Puerto Rican living in New York City's Spanish Harlem.  He is often credited as being the "The King of Latin Music". Listen to him playing  on a Jazz Classic “Take Five” below.

Music – 2nd & 3rd grade – Week 7 Spotlight on Woodwinds Listening Lesson Timbre – (pronounced tam ber) The unique quality of sound an instrument (or voice) makes. Woodwinds – Generally made of wood. Sound is made by blowing (wind). Most use single or double reeds made of cane. The size of the instrument determines how high or low sounds it produces.

The flute is one of the highest pitched instruments in the orchestra. Originally, it was made of wood. Now it is made from silver or gold and it is about 2 feet long. It is played by blowing air across the top of the mouthpiece hole. (This is like blowing across the top of a pop bottle.) It has a light and airy sound. You can change pitch (high and low sounds) by pushing the buttons on the instrument. *Experiment: Find a Coke bottle and try to create sound by blowing across the top. For even more fun, put water inside and see how the pitch changes. (for fun – not required) Listen to the flute – from our textbook’s sound bank. Flute - Soundbank

Listen to “Aviary” from Carnival of the Animals by Camille Saint-Saens. Click on this icon – to hear the music. If you are unable to hear the music, go to you-tube and search for this or other flute music. Make sure your parent is present.

The Aviary - Camille Saint-Saens The clarinet is made of wood or plastic. Sound is made by the vibrating of the reed – which is a piece of cane that is fastened to the mouthpiece. It has a full, open and rich sound. The clarinet has a wide range of high and low notes. There are holes to cover and buttons to push to change the pitch. Listen to the clarinet – as found in our textbooks. Clarinet Sound Bank Listen to “The Bee” – by Schubert The Bee - Schubert

The saxophone has a single reed plus holes to cover and buttons to push. It has a single reed like the clarinet but the body of a saxophone is made of brass – giving it a bright, rich sound. They come in four sizes: soprano, alto, tenor and baritone sax. The saxophone is usually not part of the orchestra but it usually is a big part of a jazz band.

Listen to B. B’s Blues - Saxophone B.B's Blues

The oboe is similar to the clarinet in that it has holes to cover and buttons to push to change the pitch of the instrument. The big difference is that the oboe has a double reed which is the mouthpiece. The double reed vibrates when you blow into it. It has a nasal sound – much like when you pinch your nose to sing or talk. It is small – so the pitch is high.

*Experiment : Take a drinking straw and cut a rounded edge on one end and blow into it. This is very much like blowing into a double reed. Listen to Serenata from Pulcinella by Stravinsky Serenata - Pulcinella by Stravinsky

The bassoon is much like an oboe only much larger. Because it is so much larger, the sound is a lot lower than the oboe. The reed fits on the end of curved metal pipe, called a ‘bocal’.

Listen to Sonata in F minor for bassoon by Telemann Bassoon Sonata - Telemann

Listen to the Quartet (4 instruments). Can you distinguish between the flute, clarinet, oboe and bassoon?
