1 tiaciworks'' Slavery in the North olava tive- Sojourner Truth In 1806, 9-year-old Isabella Baumfree and her family lived on the property of Charles Ardinburgh of Ulster County in New York. When Ardinburgh died, Isabella found her mother in tears. "Mau-mau, what makes you cry?" Isabella asked. "Oh, my child, I am thinking of your brothers and sisters that have been sold away from me," her mother replied. Soon after, Isabella too was separated from her mother. She was auctioned-along with other slaves, horses, and cattle-and purchased for $100. She was sold again and again, from master to master, until she was emancipated in Students of history know Isabella better by the name she chose as an adult-sojourner Truth. Truth was an abolitionist. She spoke out against slavery. But what some people ma.y not know is that Truth was one of thousands of slaves who were bought, sold, and forced to do labor in the North.

2 Real-Works' Slavery in the North "Many people are surprised when you talk about slavery in the North," Alan Singer, a professor of education at Hofstra University, told Senior Edition. "We associate slavery with the South, even though the biggest importer of slaves-after South Carolina-was New York City." Historians are beginning to bring slavery in the North into the spotlight. The New York Historical Society recently presented an exhibition on slavery in that state. Singer, who travels the country to talk to students about slavery in the North, wants people to remember that slavery was a national institution. The slave trade helped finance the Industrial Revolution in many major Northern cities, such as Boston and New York City. The Industrial Revolution was a period of rapid growth in the use of machinery in the early 1800s. Many U.S. businesses got their start with profits from slave-produced goods and the slave trade. It's important to understand how slavery affected the entire country, because its effects linger through discrimination, Singer says. "Kids see slavery as something that happened in the deep past," he told Senior Edition. "I want children to know that we still live with the effects of that slavery society."

5 4111\6 ea Works " Music Scores Ausic S ores Photos com Learning to play music is linked to improved academic test scores. Got music? Learning to play music is linked to improved academic test scores. More than 200 second graders were studied. Some were trained on piano keyboard and math software. Others used only the software. After six months, the piano players scored higher on math tests. It seems that making music taps into parts of the brain involved with reasoning, say researchers. Musical middle and high school students score well too. The College Entrance Examination Board compared students with no music background to student musicians. Students in music programs scored 63 points higher on verbal and 44 points higher on math. UCLA examined the test scores of 25,000 students in grades 8 to 12 over a period of 10 years. Researchers found that students with a high interest in instrumental music scored higher in math knowhow than did others. Can't Get that Song Out of My Head Do you "want some baby back ribs"? Is it "a small world after all"? "Gimme a break." Some advertising jingles and songs really stick with you. The sheer repetition of the words and music has something to do with it. But musicians are even more likely to have a hard time getting a tune out of their heads. Doctors say that's because musicians' brains are hooked up in a special way. Some people are really wired for sound. Psychologists have even identified a condition in which people experience "musical hallucinations." These hallucinations cause people to hear songs playing in their heads. Many times the tunes are familiar; other times, they're new. Composers report experiencing "piped-in" sound before creating their masterpieces. The parts of the mind that are busy when listening to music are the same that become active when hearing your own private song. So it could be that regions of the brain search for a song-and make their own when none is available. ReadWorks.org 2017 Read Works, Inc. All rights reserved Read Works, Inc. All rights reserved.

6 ReadWorks Operation Song Music Scores You see super cool TV surgeons cranking the tunes while they work. Did you ever wonder if the music had any effect on patients? Researchers wondered, so they put patients and music to the test. A team of researchers studied groups of surgery patients. All patients had parts of their bodies numbed. They were all given a device to control the amount of pain-relieving sedative they received. All were awake through the process. The patients were divided into three categories. One group brought their favorite CDs and listened through headphones. The second group heard "white noise," or background noise meant to drown out other sounds. The last group heard only operating-room noise. The result? Patients who listened to music used less sedation' Those who listened to their favorite songs were calmer. The effect may be because the music blocked out the noises of the operating room, say doctors. Source: Yale University, American University of Beirut Medical Center ReadWorks.org Read Works, Inc.

11 Read Works The Boy and a Wish The Boy and a is Gramash was born healthy and strong. But his mother let out a scream when she first saw him. His father put a blanket in the window so that no one could see this strange-looking child. His elderly aunt took a look at him and whispered to his parents, "I will find some help for him. Just don't let anyone in to see him." She set off in search of an old woman who lived in a cave above the lake. She found the crone seated by an open fire in the cave, weaving a mat with wool and thin reeds. "Do something for the babe," the aunt pleaded. The old woman replied, "There is nothing the matter with him. He will grow strong and smart. He is just different." Still, she agreed to do what she could. "But," she added, "wishes shouldn't always be granted." Then she began to mix some dust and gold in a stone plate. Finally, she said, "Sprinkle this on his head. It will not make him like others. But it will make being different easier." The aunt returned to the small cottage. As she let the magic dust drift onto his head, the baby's cries could be heard. The boy himself became invisible, though his mother could still feel him in her arms. The years passed. Gramash grew in his own way, as his brothers and sisters came into the world. Each of them learned about him in their own time. Sometimes Gramash made himself known by taking a toy or moving a plate. Sometimes he sang. If he was in a good mood, he'd do someone's chores. If he was angry, he'd undo work they had done. One day, as he took a long walk, he came upon a cave. "Come in, Gramash," said an old voice. Gramash was astounded. "You can see me?" he asked. "Of course," she replied. ReadWorks.org 2017 Read Works, Inc. All rights reserved. Copyright 2007 Weekly Reader Corporation. All rights reserved. Used by permission.

13 Aunt Melba Aililt me b a Everyone's got at least one crazy relative, the skeleton in the closet, the One Who Is Not To Be Emulated. In my family, it's Aunt Melba, the clairvoyant, the black sheep, and former trapeze artist. Every Thanksgiving, when the whole family gathers at my grandmother's house in Indiana, Aunt Melba steals the show. This is particularly interesting since she never actually shows up. But no one can talk about anything else, so she might as well have a chair at the table. She rules by remote control, from Alaska, where she's living now on a fishing boat that rests on dry land. Family gatherings used to be fun when I was younger--seeing all the cousins, even if I had to pay for the privilege with pinches on the cheeks from aunts and slaps on the back from uncles, who always comment about how much I've grown. (If their enthusiasm for my growing were matched in inches, I'd be ten feet tall.) But lately, the cousins, who are mostly a few years older than I am, have stopped coming, since they've gotten married and, for some reason, all wind up at their other relatives' houses for Thanksgiving. Aunt Melba is a letter writer. Not an er, but someone who writes in long hand on the backs of store fliers. (She's not into wasting paper, so she saves everything.) She writes not to tell us what she's up to, but, rather, to report on what we've been doing. "It's good to hear that Allie is pursuing her studies in agricultural science" is on the reverse of "Codfish Cakes! $2.99 a pound! Free Coleslaw!" I wonder why advertisements always contain exclamation points and how she always knows what my cousins and I are doing, since no one claims to talk to her. ReadWorks.org 2017 Read Works, Inc.
