In 1776, Phoebe Saunders, a 13-year-old girl whose father was a free man but used to be a
slave, was asked by her father to work as George Washington's housekeeper and spy while
he was living at Mortier House in New York City. Phoebe would stop working at the tavern
and attending her high school in the nearby city of New Jersey. Although nervous and unsure
of her abilities, Phoebe accepted the job and packed a bag with two aprons, two changes of
clothes, and her knitting. Her father instructed her to keep an eye on Washington, listen for
people whose names began with a T, and report anything suspicious to him. As Phoebe
navigated the busy streets of New York, she wondered how she could possibly help
Washington.

what he meant when he said them.

done it!"

c. "When you're floating around in space, you feel the same when you're upside down as
you do an when you're right side up."

orientation that we experience on Earth. _____

about the potential dangers of space travel. Bluford is indicating that the tragic loss of
life in the Challenger disaster was a wake-up call. _____
3. Bluford meant that even though he had to face difficulties and challenges while studying
