Rory and I discussed what the journey of el Camino meant to people. The movie is about a priest who leads a band of ten young men from various backgrounds on a pilgrimage and shows how the journey means different things to different people.

Begin the movie Footprints. A priest leads a band of ten young men from various backgrounds on a pilgrimage. They walk from the south of France along the less popular Northern Route of the "Camino" to Santiago de Compostela in Northern Spain, to a shrine built around the remains of Santiago, the Apostle St. James.

Rory and I continued with the study of his chosen book. We again talked about author's purpose. We talked about the different writing styles in each book that we have read so far. I also explained to Rory that he needs to choose some quotes from this book to react to for his double journal entries.

In his activity, Rory has completed his review of linear equations where he has signed numbers and distributive property including variables on both sides.

Rory and I continued our study of the book. We read and discussed some chapters. Rory is reading through the song lyrics, but we are going to go back through and analyzing the lyrics for the use of figurative language and poetic devices.

Environmental Science:
Ecosystem Structure -
Rory was tested on cell progression. Following the exam we discussed the structure of ecosystems, and how every member of the system has a niche. We listed some different types of niches and what happens when two species in an ecosystem compete. The rules of an ecosystem keep it healthy and sustainable and are considered natural laws. We compared them to the laws of physics, and discovered that natural laws (unlike physical laws) can be broken, but checks and balances worked into the ecosystem prevent it from happening. We call this the ‘carrying capacity’.

Rory and I discussed the differences and similarities between Jay-Z and Gucci Mane. Rory outlined some them for me. We then watched some interviews with Jay-Z to try to get a better perspective of the author of the book that we are reading.
