Today we started in AP Classroom by going over the problems he had assigned for homework. He did great on one assignment by getting 9/9 on it. The other assignment had a 4/6 on it. The two problems he got wrong were extremely difficult, and I would have gotten them wrong, too. We looked at the teacher's key for an explanation and we were able to determine the error we made and fix the mistake. Next we looked at the Unit 2B Review. Joshua did excellently on it!! I told him he is better at logarithms than he thinks he is. We still have one more section to complete and then Josh will take the Unit 2B Test.
We explored the similarities between Steinbeck's depiction of the American Dream and Miller's perspective of this aspiration in the play. I noted how Willy Loman is not a victim of societal forces but a victim of his own delusions about the achievability of the American Dream. After Joshua took noters off the whiteboard on this topic , we discussed and studied the symbolism of : the car, stockings, and the rubber hose(suggesting Willy Loman's latent suicidal desires).

We had an abbreviated session today because Joshua was completing the SAT practice test.
Discuss the laws which apply to most gases. Examine the effect of pressure on volume, temperature on volume, and pressure on pressure. These include Boyle's law, Charles law, and Gay-Lussac' law. Introduce and solve various problems which require the math. solving of these problems
I returned Joshua's comparative essay on the novels,"A Farewell to Arms" and "The Things They Carried and reviewed my comments on style, substance, and thesis. I provided instruction to clarify some of Joshua's misunderstanding about both novels and then provided a model for a broad themed first sentence .From there, I explained how to contextualize the essay introduction from this first "model" sentence to a final topic sentence that directly answers the essay prompt. I further discussed how to organize the remainder of the essay and pointed out passages in both books and from the draft that could be used to support statements about style, and tone.
