Define alkanes as organic compounds. Write the molecular formulas and sketch the structural formulas for the first 3 alkane compounds. Determine the general formula for alkanes as CxH2x+2. Note the formulas for the first 5 alkanes in the series, and show why they are considered a homologous group. View a chart of the first 10 alkanes and discuss how and why each one has increased by a CH2.

We will review graphing lines. We will draw graphs of absolute value expressions on number lines and on coordinate planes.

Define organic chemistry and organic compounds. introduce Wohler's synthesis of urea as the first organic compound synthesized. Draw the structural formula and the molecular formula. Show that carbon possess as hybrid electron configuration and always will have 4 bonds. List the common elements which will bond with carbon most easily. Write the molecular and structural formula for methane, the single carbon hydrocarbon

The student completed a practice review for Vocabulary 1. Afterward, the teacher and student reviewed the practice together, and the teacher provided feedback to support the student’s understanding. Finally, the teacher introduced Vocabulary 2, preparing the student for new learning.

World War 2: U.S. involvement, Great Britain involvement, Russia role with J. Stalin

We studied Dickens' reliance on forced coincidence and the impacts of the rigid Victorian class structure. We explored the irony in the idealized refined upper class Estella having a mother who is in fact nothing but a lower class criminal who was charged with murder.. In this regard, we discussed the novel's developing theme that a person's value is not tied to an arbitrary standard such as social station. Kaitlin offered interesting comments on how social class and status still play a role in modern life. We then reviewed the numerous coincidences in the novel and explored the extent to which these forced coincidences detract from the novel.

We continued working on Kaitlin's AP style essay on the impact of ideologies on imperialism. We first addressed how to incorporate phrases such as "due to, as a result of" etc into the first paragraph in order to establish a clear line of reasoning. We then discussed the role of nationalism after which Kaitlin drafted a paragraph explaining the relationship between nationalism and imperialism in Africa. Last, I provided instruction and examples of transition phrases to use in order to begin our next paragraph on Social Darwinism. Kaitlin will draft this paragraph as homework for our next session on Wednesday.l

Beginning of World War 2: Germany and Russia invasion of Poland 1939. Japan joining the Axis countries. Russia joining the Allied Countries. Winston Churchill and FD Roosevelt meet to plan WW 2 strategy.

We will study lines in a plane using coordinate geometry. We will describe the lines algebraically to show the connection between algebra and geometry.

Kaitlin took a test on landlord /tenant law during today's session.
