Answer all the questions to get the points!! (Types of Leaves)
All plants have leaves. However, some leaves look alike while others look very different. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes and can be flat, smooth, or even pointy. Deciduous, which means “tending to fall off,” plants have flat leaves that can be large or small, and rounded or jagged. These leaves change color during autumn months and fall off. They grow again every spring. Coniferous plants, on the other hand, are known as evergreen plants. They have needles which stay green all year round. These needles may fall off from time to time, but the plants do not lose them all at once. Even though they may look different, all leaves use light and air to make food.

Questions:
1. What do all leaves have in common?      
2. Explain the importance of the term “deciduous” when used to describe that particular type of leaf. 

3. What can you infer about coniferous plants? 

4. Rewrite the title of the text to show the main idea of the information given. ​

Kwan gazed out at her brother and heard his shrieks of delight as he tried to direct their marvelous flying creation. she watched it wheel, spin, and dive—a wild, colorful bird putting on an aerial display. its gold and red crepe-paper wings fluttered in the air, mimicking the flight of a predatory bird surveying the landscape for prey. it swooped and dived, perhaps discovering a possible meal, and then went airborne again to avoid the rocky terrain below. min was the falconer, guiding his bird on its path through the sky, not yet ready to call it back to the ground. but kwan grew concerned when she looked out at the dark, threatening clouds beginning to roll in off the water. when she saw the streaks of lightning within the cloud formation, she pointed to the distant storm and called out to her little brother to bring in the kite. min nodded and rolled in the kite string, bringing his bird home. “let’s go,” kwan told her brother and put her arm around him to fold him safely under her wing as they both held onto the kite. “it’s time to go home.” how does the extended metaphor in paragraph 3 affect the mood of this passage? a-it creates a feeling of silliness that captures the absurd humor of the situation. b- it creates a sense of tranquility to match the feelings of min at this point. c-it creates a feeling of fear over what may happen if the kite crashes. d-it creates a sense of awe and wonder at min's mastery of the kite.
