We reviewed plot and character development, as per Anne Lamott. Chase read Lamott's chapter on dialogue in class, writing down the Top Ten Best Pieces of Advice in the chapter.
Chase read Lamott's chapter on plot development and wrote down at least 5 key points she gleaned from the reading. She also worked on furthering her 1" picture frame, now that conflict is in place and action is set in motion.
Chase began studying the conditional (would do) tense today, which has the same roots and irregular forms as the future (will do) tense that we have been working with. She has homework to practice these tenses.

AP Environmental Science:
Population Ecology -
Chase was quizzed on vocabulary of population ecology. I provided a detailed description of population studies, and the methods used to determine the health of a population. I described my research, and the mark-recapture data I collect to help me keep track of dolphin population and the line transect methods I use to conduct environmental assessments. We explored the limiting factors of a population that help a community maintain the carrying capacity for every resident population. We reviewed the factors that determine a population size, and the differences between a ‘K’ and an ‘R’ population. Chase was tasked with drawing a graph of the data from a wild bat population study, and identifying different trends that were evident from the graph. We then explored the graphs that would show exponential growth of a population, and how this type of growth, if unchecked, would undermine sustainability. Chase also drew a graph of a logistical growth system, where the carrying capacity controls resources. Finally we listed the density dependent and independent limiting factors by which every large population is influenced. Homework: Complete the chapter 6 sample test, and the questions at the end of module 21 in chapter 6.
