5. Identify examples of how Miss Johnson helps her students to “dream impossible dreams” in the excerpt from We Beat the Street. (Skills Focus Question #5)

(I might have got some things wrong because I kinda rushed to read the PDF)

Explanation:

1. Miss Johnson talked about Shakespeare to her students, telling them about the things Shakespeare done and Shakespeare dream and stuff.

2. Miss Johnson says, "In order to seek his fortune as an actor and writer, Shakespeare ran away from home shortly after he got married, leaving his wife and three children to make it without him." Not that Miss Johnson was telling her students to get married and then run away to achieve their dreams-- but something like make a few sacrifices (give up a subject) to achieve what you really want to do and your dream.

3. She tells George about college and how George could probably learn to write symphonies or plays. George thinks about this and thinks college like something foreign and vague-- "like going to China or the moon.", because Miss Johnson told George this, George is more interested and curious about college and thinks about dreams and stuff.

4. Miss Johnson tells George that he's the smartest kid in her class and that being smart isn't "uncool" . She says that it doesn't matter what others think and that being smart can get George fit for college.

Sorry I couldn't find a 5!!

I didn't understand the "We beat the street" too much but I tried to answer your question as good as I could!

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
