We continued to examine gender fluidity in Shakespeare's portrayal of Lady Macbeth as the assertive violent gender while Macbeth remains hesitant to commit regicide. Additionally , we studied how Lady Macbeth is able to sway Macbeth by insulting his masculinity. I noted how manhood will become a more prevalent motif in the play. Next, we examined Macbeth's famous soliloquy "Is this a dagger I see?" I noted the use of imagery and symbolism in the soliloquy as well as the recurring motif of reality vs. appearance .
Today Joshua took notes from our Flipped Math resources on 2.4 Exponential functions. These problems require a bit of creativity. We practiced problems that had us rewriting bases of 9 as a base of 3. We reviewed the properties of exponents, including how to work with negative powers. Then we discussed what these transformations would do to the function graphically. We noticed that a horizontal shift is actually a vertical dilation. We practiced taking the graph of y=3^x and then y=3^2x so we could see the similarities/differences.
Today we worked on Sequence problems in AP Classroom. We were able to work through each of the problems and clarify any misunderstandings he had. Some of the problems required previously learned concepts (from Algebra 2), that Joshua hasn't used in a while. So we reviewed properties of logarithms and how to approach those problems.
We explored gender roles and gender fluidity in the play. After defining the traditional gender roles of women , we explored how Lady Macbeth breaks gender roles by demanding the "spirits" to "Unsex" her and to replace her mother's milk with bile. By contrast, Macbeth remains plagued by the moral dilemma of regicide until his wife emasculates him for placing morality above power and ambition. We noted Macbeth's reference to behaving as a "man" as a motif in the play. We further located and parsed extended metaphors describing Macbeth's vaulting ambition in terms of a horse that jumps too high and falls thereby suggesting Macbeth's eventual moral and mortal downfall .

2.1 Change in Arithmetic and Geometric Sequences – We solved problems where we determined a value in the arithmetic or geometric sequence.
2.2 Change in Linear & Exponential Functions – We determined the point where an exponential and linear function meet to solve problems.
