:The "Ruby and the hairclip" article came from [https://jeopardylabs.com/play/reading-mastery-3rd-6-weeks-review this article, select "inference for 500"]. It's one of the most pathetic things on the internet. The [https://jeopardylabs.com https://jeopardylabs.com] website is truly awful, and the "be sure your answer is in the form of a question" garbage is just incredible. They are certainly not Alex Trebek! It's a web site where you can make your own stupid Jeopardy game thing, and then upload it so others can see it. That a teacher downloaded such a thing for his or her class is utterly pathetic in many ways. But the website has nothing to do with Common Core.

:This one appears to come from the website [http://www.ereadingworksheets.com/ http://www.ereadingworksheets.com/], which says "I provide teachers, parents, and motivated students with the best available reading worksheets, resources, and activities available on the web absolutely free of cost" and "I hope that you find this website useful and may you see the same growth and success in the classroom with your students as I have seen with mine." (At least one of the items on the worksheet also appears in the "Jeopardy" game listed above—there seems to be no limit to human laziness.) Notwithstanding the fact that the superintendent of the school where this appeared said that the assignment "was aligned to a fourth grade English Language Arts standard for Common Core", there is no reference to Common Core in the website from which this was taken.
