Bella was late to class today. By the time she showed up, it was time for break. We will continue what we would have done today, tomorrow.
While the word political change is a general term that can apply to any change in the political landscape, it is most often reserved for significant disruptions in a government that leads to new or modified leadership or policies. Political change happens when there is a disconnect between the ideals and values of citizens and the values and ideals of the current government. Some of the ways in which political change can occur include social movements, civil wars, coup d'etats, and revolutions. A coup d'etat is sudden, but may lead to a more long and drawn out types of political change. On the other hand, political change, such as social movements, civil wars, and revolutions, tend to be more drawn out. Specifically, though, revolutions change the very structure and ideals of a political system, and are often the most intense type of political change. We looked at some examples of political change i today's class.
Bella finished adding citations and elaboration to her Othello essay outline. I worked with her to complete half of her written critical response essay. I showed her how to write a Works Cited page.

Lesson Comments
Recognizing that the kids just had a few weeks off, and that it can take a while to get back in the swing at school, I was nonetheless concerned with Bella's lack of recollection of seemingly any of the substance of the discussions/lessons, etc we've had over the last few weeks regarding quadratic equations. Going back to a lesson comment I provided shortly before the break, I believe she is falling further behind a reasonable schedule of progress for the class. As she does not attend school in person and she now does not have her screen on when she attends class virtually, it's hard for me to know if she's in fact focusing on classwork even when we're in session. I feel that overall she's working well below her potential.
