After reviewing our essay outline comparing "Call of the Wild" and "To Build a Fire",we recommenced writing the essay portion of the test on these two fictional pieces. I provided organizational ideas and assistance by explaining the relationship between plot and character and theme and genre .Jaydn then referred to our outline and drafted two paragraphs ,one on character /plot and one on theme/genre. To encourage her to continue drafting ,I provided linkage words and phrases where needed . We further explored what ideas might be incorporated into a conclusion which we will work on tomorrow.

During today's Geometry class, we started working on Section 2.3 "Writing proofs". In this section, Jaydn will learn how to demonstrate understanding by identifying and giving examples of undefined terms, axioms, theorems, and inductive and deductive reasoning.

Solána Imani Rowe was born in 1989 in St. Louis, Missouri, and raised in Maplewood, New Jersey. Her father was an executive producer at CNN and her mother was an executive at AT&T. Her mother is Christian and her father is Muslim. She was raised as a Muslim and continues to follow Islam. "It's like the belief in one God, all the pillars of Islam et cetera, and I think those are ideas that will never leave me, those make sense in my spirit. It's the way that I connect with God; it has always made sense to me. I don't wanna be disrespectful because I have too much love and respect for the religion, for my father, and for myself. She attended Muslim classes every day after her regular school. After the September 11 attacks, Rowe was subjected to bullying in 7th grade, leading her to stop wearing her hijab. After high school Rowe later went to three separate colleges, finally settling at Delaware State University to study marine biology. She eventually dropped out in her last semester and immediately started taking on random jobs to make money. Rowe formed her stage name from the Supreme Alphabet, taking influence from rapper RZA of the Wu-Tang Clan. The last two letters in her name stand for Zig-Zag and Allah, while the first letter S can mean either savior or sovereign.

Jaydn decided to learn more about and focus on the singer, known as SZA for Black History Month. SZA's debut album, was well received in 2017. It debuted at #3 on Billboard 200 and was certified triple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). At the 60th Annual Grammy Awards, the album earned her 4 nominations, including Best New Artist. In 2020, it was placed on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time list. In August 2017, she was featured on a Maroon 5 top-10 hit single. The next year, she collaborated with Kendrick Lamar to create the top 10 single "All the Stars" for the Black Panther soundtrack, for which she was nominated for the Golden Globe Award and Academy Award for Best Original Song. In 2020 and 2021 she released 3 singles that reached the top 10 on Billboard's Hot 100 in 2021, with the latter earning her the Grammy Award for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance. SZA's second album, SOS (2022), reached #1 on Billboard 200 chart, breaking the record for the biggest streaming week ever for an R&B album, and remained atop the chart for 7 consecutive weeks. The album's singles were both top-10 hits; the latter became her first #1 on the Streaming Songs and Billboard Global 200 charts as well as her highest-peaking song in the US at number two.

I continued instruction on the purpose of the literary essay and on the structure and content of the introduction . We discussed how to introduce the setting and the characters in the first paragraph and how to formulate a thesis as the final sentence of the first paragraph . As Jaydn drafted an introductory paragraph , we referred to our essay outline from yesterday for ideas and assistance. I then discussed the body of the essay as support or proof of the thesis. Again referring back to the outline, Jaydn began drafting a second pargraph based on the textual examples within the outline.. We will continue writing next session.

Rihanna and LeBron James are giving back during Black History Month and beyond. Born and raised in Barbados, Rihanna founded the Clara Lionel Foundation in honor of her grandparents in 2012. CLF champions environmental and social justice projects in the United States and Caribbean, which the non-profit notes is among the most disaster-prone areas in the world and has been especially vulnerable to the effects of climate change. Its climate resilience programs proactively develop emergency preparedness solutions, like upgrading infrastructure and keeping health care accessible during crises. CLF’s goal is for the Caribbean to become the world’s first climate-resilient zone by helping communities prepare for and withstand natural disasters.Through his LeBron James Family Foundation in Akron, OH, schools are built to feed and educate kids. Kids are given the technological tools they need to learn. Through it's "wrap-around approach" to learn, kid are also sent to camp and their families have a"330 Ambassador" guide them. James uses a "wrap-around approach" to understand each kid and their family.

Black History Month is an annual observance originating in the United States, where it is also known as African-American History Month.

It is celebrated in February in the United States and Canada, while in Ireland, and the United Kingdom it is observed in October. We reviewed dome of the figures from Black American history and current times to help give Jaydn some idea of a Black American she would like to profile this month.
