We introduced the Quotient Rule and compared it with the Product Rule. We spent the rest of the session applying the rule to various functions to find their derivatives.

Narrative Essays "Turning Japanese," and "None of This is Fair"
Lesson Outline
In class, I discussed the "bigger picture" in two of the narrative essays that we read from the Norton Sampler. The theme Certainty vs. Uncertainty was manifested in "Turning Japanese" as America vs. Japan, West vs. East. I asked Jessica to identity where we could see this theme within the piece. We also discussed Affirmative Action in "None of this is Fair."

Jess dis well on the review sheet for lipids
we finished the section dealing with lipids and phospholipids. will move on the proteins, enzymes and nucleic acids next week
We reviewed the Product Rule for finding the derivative of a function that is the product of two other functions. Then we collaborated on several problems using the Product Rule. I explained that, in those cases where the original product is easy to find, it may well be easier to find the product and then find the derivative using earlier rules. On the other hand, a product of a monomial and a trig function, for example, requires the use of the Product Rule.

Jessica and I discussed the last chapter of The Crucible today, noting the ways in which John Proctor undergoes a "redemption" of sorts; the relationship between John and Elizabeth also changes at the end of the play.
