Born on July 29, 1883, Benito Mussolini was the first Italian fascist dictator of the 20th century, during World War II (WWII). He rose to power in 1922 and remained there until 1943. Benito Mussolini was the founder of fascism and the leader of Italy from 1922 to 1943. An advocate of socialism in his younger years, Mussolini was inspired by nationalist ideas as World War I raged on. Using his charm and personality, he inspired a violent takeover of the Italian government beginning in 1919 and culminating in the March on Rome in 1922. After the March on Rome, King Victor Emmanuel III of Italy asked Mussolini to form a government. Initially feigning democratic leadership, by 1925, Mussolini declared himself dictator and established the first fascist state. As a member of the Axis powers in WWII, Mussolini sought to control much of Africa and the Mediterranean. By 1943, the allies closed in on Italy, and Mussolini was overthrown and imprisoned by his own party. Later that year, he was rescued by German forces and installed as a governor over German-occupied Northern Italy. In 1945, while fleeing to Switzerland, Mussolini was captured and executed. Mussolini's particularly brutal fascism has inspired strongmen throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, including Adolf Hitler.

Jaydn read, analyzed, and discussed three chapters from Where the Crawdads Sing. She then reviewed SAT vocabulary and took a cumulative quiz.

Work on receptive skills.

Jaydn and I worked together to review the properties of parallelograms including supplemental consecutive angles, congruent opposite sides, and angle measures inside rhombi. We also did some problems demonstrating properties of trapezoids. There was no assignment.

I worked with Jaydn to analyze and solve various problems involving angles in polygons and parallelograms. We also reviewed the difference between rectangles and squares. There was no assignment.

I guided Jaydn in solving problems for sides and angles of trapezoids, kites, and rhombi. Special emphasis was given to isosceles trapezoids. There was no assignment.

I guided Jaydn through the definition of regular polygons. She correctly identified them as convex multi-sided geometric figures with all sides congruent and all angles congruent. I helped her understand the meanings of equiangular and equilateral polygons. I also helped her understand the process of finding the measure of a single angle of a regular hexagon and then asked her some questions about how to find the measure of a single angle for a regular octagon. There was no assignment.

I explained to Jaydn the properties of side lengths and angles in isosceles trapezoids. I demonstrated how pairs of upper and lower base angles in trapezoids are supplementary while pairs of same base angles are congruent. I further showed her how the non-parallel sides of an isosceles trapezoid are equal. There was no assignment.
