Flashcards: Common Core: 6th Grade English Language Arts

When I was seven, my father brought home from a business trip a wooden boomerang painted with images of the Australian flag. All summer long I carried that gift with me I was fascinated by this piece of a continent completely on the other side of the world. Despite promises that if I threw it would immediately return, I had no intention of throwing it, only carrying and admiring it. What if it became stuck in a tree or carried away by a stiff wind? There would go my connection to the magical land of kangaroos, barrier reefs, and untold other pieces of wonder.

As I walk the shores of Bondi Beach or watch the tourists purchase kangaroo-themed apparel in my adopted hometown of Sydney, I often think back to that boomerang and the world to which it opened my eyes. As an airline pilot, I am fortunate to live out my childhood dream – inspired by that boomerang – of exploring faraway lands. Whenever I do, I bring home a trinket for my young daughter such that she might be similarly struck by wanderlust.

What inferences can you make about what the character might do next? What evidence from the text supports your reasoning?

The character will confront his/her father for giving such a silly gift; All summer long I carried that gift with me. I was fascinated by this piece of a continent completely on the other side of the world.

The character may give up his/her traveling lifestyle; As an airline pilot, I am fortunate to live out my childhood dream – inspired by that boomerang – of exploring faraway lands.

The character might finally throw the boomerang; Despite promises that if I threw it would immediately return, I had no intention of throwing it, only carrying and admiring it.

The character might encourage his/her daughter to travel or even take her along; Whenever I do, I bring home a trinket for my young daughter such that she might be similarly struck by wanderlust.

What inferences can you make about what the character might do next? What evidence from the text supports your reasoning?

Your answer:

The character may give up his/her traveling lifestyle; As an airline pilot, I am fortunate to live out my childhood dream – inspired by that boomerang – of exploring faraway lands.

Your answer:

The character might finally throw the boomerang; Despite promises that if I threw it would immediately return, I had no intention of throwing it, only carrying and admiring it.

Correct answer:

The character might encourage his/her daughter to travel or even take her along; Whenever I do, I bring home a trinket for my young daughter such that she might be similarly struck by wanderlust.

Explanation:

The character in the story is bringing home small gifts from his/her travels with the hopes that the daughter will be “struck by wanderlust” which means the desire to travel. It isn’t unlikely to infer that the character might take his/her daughter along and he/she is already encouraging a love of exploration.
