Banker to the Poor
Muhammad Yunus is the economist from Bangladesh who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2006.

His objective was to help poor people escape from poverty by providing loans on terms suitable to them and by teaching them a few sound financial principles so they could help themselves.

There is nothing wrong with the seed you planted; only the soil base you provided was inadequate. Poor people are like bonsai people. There is nothing wrong with their seeds; only society never gave thema base to grow on.

2. Read the text and answer the following questions in your notebook.
Note-taking Tips
Note-taking is a skill that can help you do well on all your schoolwork - everything from taking tests to researching a paper. Here are some tips.
Write down key facts. It can take some experimenting to figure out what information really is helpful, so keep trying and don't give up. Different teachers do things differently. For example, some teachers may mention lots of dates and facts in class but only write the key ones on the board. Other teachers may not write anything down, but they may repeat a certain date or piece of information. That's a clue that it's probably important. After a while, you'll get to know a teacher's style.
Don't overdo it. Don't go crazy taking notes: You'll be frantic if you try to write down every word that's said in class. And if you focus too much on getting your notes right, you might miss important points.
Ask. Don't be afraid to ask the teacher to repeat something you miss.
Organize. Keep notes for each subject in one place so you can find everything easily when it comes time for a test. That may mean keeping a notebook or section of a notebook for each subject as you take notes in class.

To Remember Me - I Will Live Forever
By Robert Noel Test (1926-1994)
The day will come when my body will lie upon a white sheet neatly tucked under four corners of a mattress located in a hospital busily occupied with the living and the dying. At a certain moment a doctor will determine that my brain has ceased to function and that, for all intents and purposes, my life has stopped.
When that happens, do not attempt to instill artificial life into my body by the use of a machine. And don't call this my deathbed. Let it be called the bed of life, and let my body be taken from it to help others lead fuller lives.
- Give my sight to the man who has never seen a sunrise, a baby's face or love in the eyes of a woman.
- Give my heart to a person whose own heart has caused nothing but endless days of pain.
- Give my blood to the teenager who was pulled from the wreckage of his car, so that he might live to see his grandchildren play.
- Give my kidneys to the one who depends on a machine to exist from week to week.
- Take my bones, every muscle, every fiber and nerve in my body and find a way to make a crippled child walk. Explore every corner of my brain.
- Take my cells, if necessary, and let them grow so that someday a speechless boy will shout at the crack of a bat and a deaf girl will hear the sound of rain against her window.
- Burn what is left of me and scatter the ashes to the winds to help the flowers grow.
- If you must bury something, let it be my faults, my weaknesses and all prejudice against my fellow man.
- Give my sins to the devil.
- Give my soul to God.
If, by chance, you wish to remember me, do it with a kind deed or word to someone who needs you. If you do all I have asked, I will live forever.

Atenção professor: Comente com os alunos a respeito da importância de fazer um rascunho quando se escreve um texto. Nesse rascunho, podem-se inserir as ideias mais básicas e algumas palavras-chave que serão desenvolvidas futuramente. Diga-lhes que, depois de pronto, é interessante partilhá-lo com os colegas e receber um retorno deles e do professor. Comente também que, após a reescrita do texto, deve-se revisar o trabalho para evitar erros e, por fim, passá-lo a limpo. Lembre aos alunos que a troca de rascunhos e o retorno com as impressões entre eles é uma oportunidade de colaboração, em que todos partilham conhecimentos e um contribui para enriquecer o trabalho do outro. Dessa forma, eles passam a perceber que o professor não é a única pessoa a quem eles podem recorrer para pedir ajuda. A atividade pode ser feita em duplas ou em pequenos grupos. O pôster pode ser feito em papel e disponibilizado nos murais da classe ou nos corredores da escola. Ele também pode ser feito on-line, usando-se ferramentas gratuitas, como o Glogster (www.glogster.com/edu, acesso em: 12 mar. 2016), e compartilhado por meio das redes sociais.

Students Raise Awareness for Bone Marrow Registry
Samantha Thieke
Published: May 6, 2015, 6:05 pm Updated: May 6, 2015, 6:29 pm
LAFAYETTE, Ind. (WLFI) - Students at McCutcheon High School are on a mission to save a life. They're working to try and find a bone marrow donor for their ailing classmate.
Sixteen-year-old Michael Wolfe was diagnosed with leukemia last fall. A bone marrow transplant could be the key to putting him in remission. But so far, he hasn't been able to find a match.
McCutcheon's National Honor Society is hosting an event to get people to sign up for the national bone marrow registry. Student Emily Nettersheim helped organize the event, and she said it will help people understand what a difference a donor can make.
"It doesn't take a whole lot, and I think a lot of people are scared," said Nettersheim. "Maybe they're scared of needles or something, but it's really easy to save a life."
Teacher and National Honor Society sponsor Alicia Spray said she hopes the event will not only raise awareness, but get Wolfe the transplant he needs.
"We want to see Michael back in school next year," said Spray. "That is obviously the ideal situation for us. For him, to rejoin his classmates and to be able to celebrate his return to school."
The event begins at 7 p.m. on May 16 at McCutcheon High School. The event is open to public, and you must be between the ages of 18 and 44 and in good health if you'd like to register.

Now read the text and do the following activities in your notebook.
I've Been to the Mountaintop
[...] Something is happening in Memphis; something is happening in our world. And you know, if I were standing at the beginning of time, with the possibility of taking a kind of general and panoramic view of the whole of human history up to now, and the Almighty said to me, "Martin Luther King, which age would you like to live in?" I would take my mental flight by Egypt and I would watch God's children in their magnificent trek from the dark dungeons of Egypt through, or rather across the Red Sea, through the wilderness on toward the promised land. And in spite of its magnificence, I wouldn't stop there.
I would move on by Greece and take my mind to Mount Olympus. And I would see Plato, Aristotle, Socrates, Euripides and Aristophanes assembled around the Parthenon. And I would watch them around the Parthenon as they discussed the great and eternal issues of reality. But I wouldn't stop there.
I would go on, even to the great heyday of the Roman Empire. And I would see developments around there, through various emperors and leaders. But I wouldn't stop there.
I would even come up to the day of the Renaissance, and get a quick picture of all that the Renaissance did for the cultural and aesthetic life of man. But I wouldn't stop there.
[...] Strangely enough, I would turn to the Almighty, and say, "If you allow me to live just a few years in the second half of the 20th century, I will be happy."
Now that's a strange statement to make, because the world is all messed up. The nation is sick. Trouble is in the land; confusion all around. That's a strange statement. But I know, somehow, that only when it is dark enough can you see the stars. And I see God working in this period of the twentieth century in a way that men, in some strange way, are responding.
Something is happening in our world. The masses of people are rising up. And wherever they are assembled today, whether they are in Johannesburg, South Africa; Nairobi, Kenya; Accra, Ghana; New York City; Atlanta, Georgia; Jackson, Mississippi; or Memphis, Tennessee - the cry is always the same: "We want to be free."
And another reason that I'm happy to live in this period is that we have been forced to a point where we are going to have to grapple with the problems that men have been trying to grapple with through history, but the demands didn't force them to do it. Survival demands that we grapple with them. Men, for years now, have been talking about war and peace. But now, no longer can they just talk about it. It is no longer a choice between violence and nonviolence in this world; it's nonviolence or nonexistence. That is where we are today.
