Aubrey was given a text to read about innate behavior. Once she read the section, I quizzed her on the vocabulary and challenged her to identify the behavior, and the associated benefit to survival, portrayed in a series of images related to the text. She created a table of her results. She was then directed to the next section on learned behavior. She read the text and, as a test, I gave her a series of questions to research, on innate and learned behavior.

Aubrey would have worked on vocabulary and short answer questions about "Flowers for Algernon." She would also have continued to read the story.

We covered and looked at sample problems for Ch. 9-4 Factoring to Solve Quadratic Equations, 9-5 Completing the Square, and 9-6 The Quadratic Formula and the Discriminant.
