ave you visited any biomes
lately? A biome is a large
community of plants and
animals that is supported by a
certain type of climate. Biomes
like the Arctic tundra—where
cold winds buffet anything
that appears on the barren
landscape—are treeless. Many
other areas in the world
are covered with different
kinds of trees. Here are three
types of forest biomes.

Summarize
Main Idea and Details
The main idea of an article
is what the article is mostly
about. Details give more
information about the
main idea.
Maya Lin
s is her habit, architect Maya Lin stayed away from the
crowds—and the limelight. She stood behind the tinted
windows of the Southern Poverty Law Center in Montgomery,
Alabama. Outside, hundreds of visitors arrived at the site for the
opening of the Civil Rights Memorial, which Lin designed. ‘‘I like
standing back quietly,’’ Lin said. ‘‘You create your message, and
then it is out there on its own.’’
Lin’s message can be found in the memorial’s exhibits. This
memorial honors those who died fighting for equality during
the Civil Rights Movement. Some visitors reached out to touch
the names of loved ones carved into a black granite disk. Their
faces were wet with tears. ‘‘I’m so thankful,’’ said Sarah Salter,
whose husband, Willie Edwards, Jr., was killed in Montgomery in
1957. ‘‘At last he’s being recognized.’’

was her least favorite part of the school day.
“I never got to do anything except sit there,”
she recalls.
Hannah was born with a disease that kept the
bones in her back from forming properly. She
uses a wheelchair. Sadly, for kids like her, most
playground equipment is off limits. In fact, Hannah
is one of 5 million kids in the United States who
cannot use traditional playground equipment
because of some type of disability.
