Today, Hunter will begin learning about the Katz v. United States Supreme Court case, which addressed whether or not "bugging" a conversation from a local pay phone was an "unreasonable" search and seizure.

Hunter and I continued to read aloud together from "The Book Thief." We discussed how the narrator questioned the dictionary definition of silence. We read about "dead body dominoes." We read about guilt and regret related to Mas's leaving. I gave him HOMEWORK - to edit and proofread the final copy of his essay.

Hunter will outline key events leading to the ratification of the 13th Amendment and summarize the historical implications of the 13th Amendment. Hunter finished viewing the documentary, "13th," which shows how the 13th Amendment led to mass incarceration in the United States. He is also analyzing the Bailey v. Alabama case which centers around the 13th Amendment.

Hunter added to his essay from handwritten notes from last week. He typed and edited, working towards a finished product and adding more description. In our second session today, he continued and finished. I will send final version home with him to proofread himself.

Hunter and I read together in "The Book Thief" and discussed and analyzed sentences and scenes. Significant events have taken place - marching the Jews through the streets to Dachau. Max left. We discussed new vocabulary - futile, omniscient, anguish. Afterwards, Hunter completed more grammar exercises, rewriting sentences. During our second session, we went to the new school to get desks for the Wainwrights!

I taught Hunter the rules for a power divided by a power. If the bases are the same, we subtract the exponents. If an entire fraction is raised to a power, we can take the numerator to the exponent, over the denominator to the exponent. We worked through examples on the board, then Hunter did worksheets to give him extra practice. He understands the individual concepts, but needs practice with integrating all of them.
