Continue with Career narrative and study of the novel.

Today, Sam and I worked on telling the ages of the different people from the text book. Example: Yolanda tiene cuarenta y cuatro anos(44 years old). Sam wrote several examples using vocabulary for numbers (textbook pages 90,91). I explained about dates in Spanish. Also reviewed how to use possession using "DE". Then I explained how to write about birthdays. Sam wrote several examples like: El cumpleanos de Antonio es el diecinueve de julio. El cumpleanos de Francisco es el quince de marzo.

Sam and I continued our study of the novel. We annotated for understanding and literary devices used by the author. We also discussed possible topics for Sam's double journal entries. We then completed Unit 2 in the vocabulary book. Sam created study notecards to help her learn the words. She does quite well with the application of the advanced vocabulary words. We also worked on completing the pre-writing for her career narrative. Sam needs to do some research in order to completely finish the pre-writing section.

review compound events by solving a few problems given in the text book. Define independent events as the outcome of one event not affecting the outcome of the second event. Given a bag containing 3 white marbles, 2 yellow, 3 green and 4 red. Remove one marble, note its color, replace it in the bag and then remove a second marble. What is the probability of #1 being red and #2 being white?. Explain that to find the probability of both events occurring the probability of each event is found individually, and then you multiply the probabilities to find the answer.
P(red) is 4/12 or 1/3 and p(white) is 3/12 or 1/4. P(red then white) is 1/3 x 1/4 = 1/12

Define a compound event with regard to probability and show a few examples, such as the probability of drawing a spade and a 4 from a deck versus the probability of drawing a 3 or a queen.The first example shows mutually non exclusive events while the second shows mutually exclusive events. The formula and method for solving each will be listed on the board: p(4+ spade) and P(3) + p(queen). A few examples to solve each will be given.

Sam and I continued our discussion of the novel. We read and annotated for understanding and author's purpose. We also discussed the difference between tone and mood. We then began lesson 2 in the vocabulary book. Sam will finish three pages for homework.

I gave Samantha a copy of my practice test on rational functions. Topics we covered included finding points of discontinuity in graphs of rational functions, simplifying, multiplying, dividing, adding, and subtracting rational functions. We also did some problems simplifying complex fractions. There was no assignment.
