Today Joshua and I completed the AP Classroom problems on the sections we've covered so far. We worked with exponential functions, rates of growth/decay, transitions of exponential functions, and manipulating and finding equivalent forms of exponential expressions. We used our calculator to solve word problems such as after how long will the bacteria reach a given amount.
Outline both alkyl and aryl halide substitutions. Examine the formation and structure of the general anesthetic Halothane. Sketch how the hydroxyl functional group can replace a halide from an alkane halide to form an alcohol. Discuss the formation and properties of both methanol and ethanol alcohols. Show how isopropyl alcohol is formed from propene and water under pressure and temperature. Discuss and view the structural formulas of primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols.
As our analysis of the play centers on the interplay between fortune /fate and character, today we parsed a number of speeches evidencing that Macbeth ,in the final analysis, appears to be responsible for his own inevitable tragic downfall. Joshua parsed and explained an extended metaphor wherein Macbeth describes the deceased Duncan as a snake whose remaining tooth(his son) can still endanger Macbeth as well as passages evidencing that despite his plagued conscience Macbeth is intent on perpetrating more murders to maintain power. We further continue to note the ongoing motif of reality vs appearance. During the second half of the session, we viewed a portion of Act I of The Royal Shakespeare Company's performance of the play.
Outline the functional group which determines an organic alcohol. Discuss how the alcohols are formed from halogen substituted alkanes reacting with hydroxyl containing bases. Examine and explain the two simplest alcohols, methanol and ethanol. Sketch their formulas and discuss how they are synthesized using heat, pressure and water. Introduce primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohol structures

We examined Macbeth's deteriorating moral character as evidence that this play is more a tragedy of character than of fate or fortune. Joshua discussed how it is Macbeth alone, without any encouragement. or knowledge of Lady Macbeth, who meticulously plots the murder of Banquo. We noted how this directly contrasts with the murder of Duncan and explored how Macbeth's description of " blackened night overcoming the day" metaphorically describes the decline of Macbeth's moral character. We then reviewed Joshua's study guide answers examining Banquo's suspicion that Macbeth had played "foully" for the crown, again invoking the "fair is foul and foul is fair" motif established in the play's opening scene.
