The Great Fire by Jim Murphy

"The fire that hit downtown in Chicago started on Sunday night on October 8, 1871 and burned for 31 hours." More than 100,000 people ran away from the fire killed more than 300 people, destroyed more than 17,500 buildings, huts and other buildings. Many companies were also destroyed

At that time, Chicago "Fixed the fire alarm system to be one of the best fire alarm systems in the country recently." Unfortunately the alarm failed and the fire engine was sent to the wrong place. Fire engines in the second half of the nineteenth century were not modern tracks that we have today. Marathon fire trucks can not be compared with intense fires

As the fire increases rapidly, the community will unite to help the fight with fire. Many cities send fire brigade and food and clothing to help victims. James H. Hildreth built a firewall "using 2,500 pounds of explosives to blow up buildings." Local residents carry buckets and absorb garbage

During the long drought, the fire began at O'Leary's family farm. The wooden barn "concealed 3 tons of Timothy hay", they caught fire and spread along the hay and the leaves. Wooden buildings are more fragile than masonry buildings

It should be part of the junior high school curriculum. This presentation will explain why you should read this book in high school. Chicago Fire is an environmentally important historical event. The lack of modern technology makes it easy to spread the fire. Fortunately, the community gathered to overcome the tragedy.

This grade 6 grade evaluation is based on Jim Murphy's excerpt of "Great Fire". This article is worth reading time and meeting expectations for the complexity of the text. Performance evaluations consistent with Common Core State Standards (CCSS) use quality, complex texts like this article. Please do not focus on the focus of text as questions matching CCSS are worthy of the students' answers. Complex text tends to generate rich evaluation questions that require detailed analysis, so multiple criteria can be addressed with the same problem. In this small evaluation, there are seven questions that can deal with the following reading criteria. We encourage educators to provide the students with the time necessary to carefully read and write. We know that it is useful to have students receive a small number of evaluations during the course, but we encourage educators to take extra time as necessary.

This is the concept Jim Collins spoke in his book Great By Choice. He said that the quality of a good company can carefully create "bullets" or tests, make ideas appropriate, invest in it well, make commitments of resources and capture corresponding risks at full scale I think that. When I heard that Unicorn's startup began as a side project, I may not have heard that thousands of other projects are fulfilling their promises, but creators will not leap and dedicate themselves did. It can be said that a shell was fired. Unlike the previous point, another important aspect of a successful entrepreneurial spirit was very intelligent in the early days of conceptual testing and idea validation, but brave (or stupid) things It was enough to give up everything and to use absolute enthusiasm
