Then, in 1905, Albert Einstein published five scientific papers. 4. These papers were published. Einstein immediately became famous in the scientific community. 5. These papers contained many revolutionary ideas. The scientific community reacted with respect and amazement. 6. During the next six years, Einstein continued to develop his theory of relativity. During that time, Einstein continued to study the relationship between mass and energy. During that time, Einstein tried to incorporate gravity into his theory. 7. Einstein worked on his theories. During that time, Einstein taught in Switzerland and in Prague. During that time, Einstein had two sons, Hans Albert and Edward. 8. Einstein taught in Prague for a brief time.

Exercise 16: The following is a continuation of the chronology of Albert Einstein's life. Use the information to write a short paragraph on him. Combine ideas by using coordinating conjunctions, subordinating conjunctions, and transitions. Change words, phrases, verb tenses, and punctuation when necessary.
1914: Einstein accepted a position at the Prussian Academy of Sciences. The Einstein family moved to Berlin. Einstein's wife and sons vacationed in Switzerland. World War I began. His family was unable to return to Germany. This forced separation eventually led to divorce. 1916: Einstein published his paper on the general theory of relativity. This theory was revolutionary. It contradicted Newton's ideas on gravity. It predicted irregularities in the motion and light from Mercury. During this time, Einstein devoted much of his time to pacifism. Einstein began to write and distribute antiwar literature. 1919: The Royal Society of London verified Einstein's predictions about Mercury. Einstein quickly became famous. Einstein married Elsa, the daughter of a cousin of his father. Einstein stayed in Berlin. Einstein continued to work for pacifism. 1921: Einstein was awarded the Nobel Prize in physics. On Your Own At the library, research the later part of Einstein's life. Use this along with information given to write a short biography of Albert Einstein. Activity M. C. Escher was a Dutch artist who lived from 1902 to 1972. He created some of the most unusual and stimulating drawings in history. The drawing below is his interpretation of Relativity. In pairs or in small groups, discuss the following questions about this work. Be sure to include your own questions, too.
As a class, look at a decision that one of you must make. Choose one of the following and form sentences with if or unless. 1. Is someone in your class planning to buy a car, a house, or a business? 2. Is someone planning to take a long or unusual trip? 3. Is someone in the process of applying to other schools? On Your Own Think of a decision that you must make soon. Then make a decision tree. Think of all the effects of each action and write them on your decision tree. Use this information to help you make your decision.
Exercise 17: The following guidelines for excellence in business are from In Search of Excellence by Thomas J. Peters and Robert H. Waterman. According to Peters and Waterman, these are the eight attributes of "excellent, innovative companies." After reading the list, think about the causes and effects of these attributes. Then, think about the consequences for a company that does not have them. Form sentences using if, unless, before, after, and when to express your ideas. You may have several opinions for each. Excellent, innovative companies: Example: 1.take action They make theories and analyses, but most importantly, they try new ideas. Date: 2015-12-11; view: 1151
