We started off discussing the organization of organisms from their smallest common components to the largest possible components.

Max and I discussed his preferences in teaching approaches. We commented on how he seems to prefer a less discussion based approach and a more visually anchored approach. I will adjust teaching style appropriately for future meetings.

At Max’s request, we analyzed an old test of his in lieu of what we had agreed during our meeting the day prior to discuss.

We pieced together the key elements to the questions from his end of year exam.

The questions we discussed covered the structure of cells across kingdoms and other central biological themes.

Max and I discussed his goals in working together. We then devised a strategy to best achieve those goals.

He shared with me a sample problem from his mock test. The problem dealt with effects of farmers applying fertilizers to crops.

He wrote an answer to the problem as if he were taking the test. We then discussed his answer and looked at ways to improve it. We discussed fertilizer run off and how it could affect nearby ecosystems. We analyzed the real-life example of this happening in Florida waters. We looked at the answer elements provided in the key to the mock test.

We discussed what Max’s approach to a question like this on a test typically is. We spoke about the context information that goes into having a question like this specifically on a Biology exam.

Life between the Wars in Europe and how the World reacts to rearmament, aggression and events leading to WWII-Analysis of events between WWI and WWII -
Democratic Nations react to forces of aggression (military build up) through the rise of Fascism, Communism and dictatorial powers. Analysis of the struggles over territorial expansion and forces of nationalism, militarism and therefore, the failure of disarmament-

Today we reviewed electromagnetic waves, sound waves, reflection, and refraction.

We started reviewing the activity series and single replacement reactions for the extraction of metals.

Today we reviewed electromagnetic (light) and sound waves.

Today we reviewed reaction rates and factors affecting rate. We did plenty of practice problems.

Today we reviewed alternating and direct currents.

Today we reviewed equilibrium. We focused on chemistry since last Friday we did only physics.

Editing and revision-Max reviewed the detailing throughout his essay and revisions took place during today's session. We continued to analyze and discuss International relations (era WWI-WWII) between the Allied powers and the vanquished.
