Biology:
Read the remainder of Chapter 3. Start typing your formal report on Experiment 3.1 and then prepare your lab book with Experiment 3.2 and 3.3. (so you can take lab notes in class). Read Chapter 5 in the Student’s Lab guide up to the section on “results.”



Algebra 2 – Reviewed practice problems from the last few chapters (angles, fractions, Linear Equations, coordinate pairs, and graphing slopes).

Latin – A quick review of Indirect Questions and some translation work from the end of Chapter 5. Homework for this coming week includes Lesson 6, the exercises, and starting translations on pg. 341 and 342. The students filled in a quick assessment sheet so we can start working on translations.

Logic – We reviewed Lesson 5 on Judgments and propositions. This included rewriting a proposition in logical form so that it is useful for completing the next deductive step.

History – We watched HSWTL 4 in class this week. The students should finish reading chapter 4 along with 5 & 6 this week to finish out the Reformation. Also, fill in pages 106-108 of the guide. We also discussed Timeline samples:


Debate – We ran through a full length debate this week and talked about the next project for week 10. I have so much to say about the amazing job the students did on Debate 1. I’m going to finish compiling my notes for the teams so that I can hand out feedback forms in class and then I’ll add a note or two to the blog. Also, I’m working on getting the student’s essays back to them soon. Our next project is an Art Grant project that the students will present on week 10. This is only a fictitious grant the students will be applying for from the Challenge 1 class on presentation day. They should use the application sample in their curriculum guide on page 98 to get started. This project will involve: compiling an application, a sample piece of art, or a project, or a program of artistic merit, and a slide presentation on computer.


British Literature – We used out Literature time to finish the Debate and start a long lab day. This week we will tackle circle discussions about the two books they just finished reading. Essay due this week.

Biology – We finished part 3 of the Pond Experiment. This week we will look at Apologia’s prepared slides for all the specific samples mentioned in the textbook. The students get to draw the various samples from their microscope observations (or from the textbook examples). They can color and label them in their lab book (they may want to bring colored pencils to finish the lab page while rotating turns at the microscope). Experiment 3.1 is the second of the four experiments that we type up as a lab report (taken from your lab journal notes and the textbook). Finish reading Chapter 3 and look at experiment 3.2. and 3.3. Bring your lab Journal. Finish adding to your lab journal any procedure steps and drawings.
