Joshua is feeling better, but not well enough to be at school. So we met on Teams today. We reviewed the most recent homework problems. Joshua got them all right!! Then we worked on problems in AP Classroom. I let Joshua lead the problems, explaining his throught process as he worked. Overall, Joshua did well. I had to point him in the right direction on a few of the challenge problems. The content covered exponential functions, growth/decay, transformations, etc.

Joshua was absent today. The class time was used to prepare materials for next week.

Discuss how alcohols are produced by hydroxyl substitution onto an organic halide. Examine the structures of ethanol and methanol and how they are synthesized, along with their properties of polarity and water solubility, and toxicity. Show the synthesis of isopropyl alcohol from the olefine ethene. Elicit the general formula for an orgainc acid, a secondary acid and a tertiary acid.

Discuss and show examples of halogenation substitutions on organic hydrocarbons which lead to the synthesis of hydrocarbon halide compounds. Use a general formula and specific formulas to indicate the substitution replacements. Discuss substitutions onto a Benzene molecule to produce some common volatile substances such as toluene and xylene. Draw the structure for the trinitro compound of methyl benzene which becomes the common named compound trinitro toluene or TNT.

In preparation for tomorrow's test on Acts I and II, I reviewed the dramatic tensions in the play between the role of Fortune and Character i.e. "to what extent is Macbeth's downfall a result of free will or mere bad luck?" I outlined passages from the first acts suggesting both interpretations. We then examined one of Macbeth's soliloquies after he murders Duncan wherein Macbeth offers a bleak view of all life as a meaningless trifle . Last, we reviewed the use of imagery specifically blood and water. I elaborated on the theological implications of this imagery in terms sin /blood and redemption/ water and baptism.
