Max and I wrote answers in Spanish responding to questions given to him by his teacher at his home school.
Max did an excellent job of using Hay to answer questions. He was thoughtful in his responses and exhibited some qualities of higher level writing while composing his answers in the target language.
We reviewed and edited Max's character analysis essay on "To Kill A Mockingbird ." I demonstrated how to include textual details to bolster the character analysis and how to comment on the relevance of the setting to the character of Mrs Duboise, a gothic character. Max then made edits and revisions including adding and properly embedding textual material into his characterization. We further explored how the enigmatic symbol of the camellias might be included in this characterization.
Max and I reviewed the female menstrual cycle using Khan Academy resources. We went over the hormone, ovulation and uterus 28-day cycle diagram. We did practice exam questions.
Today we reviewed electromagnetism, the motor effect, simple DC motors, and the generator effect. We worked on the questions in his revision packet related to these topics.
We studied the symbols in the novel and their relationship to the Southern Gothic elements in the novel. Further, we studied a text passage and the symbols within the passage that characterize Mrs Duboise . I noted the gothic descriptions of Mrs Duboise 's appearance and her home and addressed the literal symbol of camellias, as emblematic of the South.Max will be writing an essay on this topic tonight.
