Think and Search (Putting it Together) The answer is in the story, but you need to put together different story parts to find it. Words for the question and words for the answer are not found in the same sentence. They come from different parts of the text. In the Book

Alien Invaders 1 Americans first saw kudzu at the 1876 Centennial Exposition. The Exposition was a huge fair. Countries from around the world set up exhibits. Visitors loved the kudzu vine’s lavender blue flowers and its sweet grape-like scent at the Japanese pavilion. 2 Soon kudzu seemed to be everywhere. People bought the vines for their homes. Farmers fed it to livestock. The Soil Conservation Service told people to use it to prevent erosion—the washing away of soil by water. 3 Kudzu had fewer natural enemies in America than it did in Japan, and it adapted amazingly well to its new home. Now kudzu covers more than 2 million acres in the South. Each plant grows up to 100 feet (30 m) per year. 4 This is good for kudzu, but bad for other species. Invading kudzu uses resources that native species need to survive. And vines can quickly cover buildings, bridges, and even power lines. No wonder some people call kudzu “the vine that ate the South!” Type 1 (Right There) When did Americans first see kudzu? Type 2 (Think and Search) How was kudzu used? Type 3 (Author and You) What might you do to eliminate kudzu? Type 4 (On My Own) Imagine you could bring an alien invader to your town, what would it be?
