In this activity, Rory used the method of elimination and substitution to solve systems of linear equations. We will be spending additional time solving by substitution because it is a more versatile method.
Rory and I continue to watch the film. We discuss setting, character and plot. he is preparing to write his reaction to the film including a summary of the story.
Rory wrote his film review. We first discussed the plot, the characters and the setting. We also discussed the director's purpose for filming. Rory did a good job with the review.
In this session, Rory was continuing the film titled, "The Book Thief". The story is set in Germany, 1941. A German girl named Lisa & her family are hiding a sick Jew (Max) in their basement. Since all the academic books have been burned by Hilter, Lisa finds a way to steal books, and brings them home to read to the dying Max. However, she accidentally shares her family's secret with her best friend- a mistake that could cost her everyone's life. That's where we stopped. Rory & I stopped to discuss throughout the film, and his comprehension was excellent. Rory will continue to take notes with Ms. Julie tomorrow.
