Supplemental to the text, I distributed public records reflecting that lobbyist spent more than 3 billion dollars in 2018 attempting to influence legislation. We studied which sectors of the economy spent the most, and then examined which specific industries lobbied the most . Not surprisingly , banks , health care , insurance companies , and business interests were the major contributors. As known companies such as Amazon, Facebook, and Blue Cross were top contributors , we discussed what type of legislation these companies might want to influence . Health care and insurance companies ,for example ,are doubtless concerned about all of the discussion in Congress suggesting "Medicare for All". Sam then took notes about the propaganda methods used by public interest groups to influence public opinion and the other means ,such a lawsuits, public interests groups use to influence public opinion . We will be having a test on political parties and lobbying on Wednesday. For homework,Sam is to study for the test and read pages 316-322 of text and answers questions 1-4 on page 322.

She never showed up on SKype.

Sam was present for only 20 minutes of the scheduled 120 minutes. I wanted to determine the extent of her physics instruction and where her interests lie in science. Using what information I could obtain, and working with Sam, I wanted to outline a course of study she could work with for the remaining year.

Today Sam read chapter 5 from "Lord of the Flies." She also answered comprehension questions.

Skyped lesson. Sam read Los Vampiros in Spanish, then translated it. She completed the entire story. She kept a list of new vocabulary words to assist her as she read. She will answer the questions at the end of the story, for homework.

Sam was absent today.

Sam and I continued our study of the novel. We completed our discussion of chapter six. We answered the accompanying study guide questions. Then we previewed chapter seven and began reading it. We stopped to clarify for understanding. We started to answer the study guide questions. Sam will finish answering the questions for homework.

Examine what areas have been covered previously, try to determine the degree and depth of knowledge and work out a course of study with the student. Continue with the unit presently working on

The student and I reviewed her previous areas of the course covered. We determined the best course of action to complete the units required for this course. We discussed the theory of waves, what they are, how they are created. I introduced terms like vibrations, frequency, medium of transport and kinetic energy.

planned to use the first 0-15 minutes in discussing the areas already covered in physics, and determine the depth of instruction.The remainder of the time was to be spent continuing the chapter being worked on, or beginning a new unit. Student was not available for skype
