We explored how diction creates the narrator's perspective and the role of symbols in the interpretative process. First, we dissected the diction of the first page of the novel noting how word choice illustrates the narrator's view of a draconian orthodox Puritan society. Further, we discussed how the description of the prison door reinforces the dark stern image of the Puritans. We then focused on the contrasting symbol of the rose and the allusion to Anne Hutchinson. I discussed the Antinomian religious view and how it contrasted with the Puritan theology.

I worked with Joshua to download the Cricut software, upload the first two layers of his design, and cut out the parts.

I worked with Joshua to complete the remaining sections of his design.

We will do more examples from section 7.1 using a variety of solution methods.

Review electronegativity of of atoms. Determine differences between metals, not metals and metalloids as determined by their numbers. Outline how to present the correct Lewis Dot formula for a series of listed compounds. List all steps in the procedure for each type of determination.

introduce and discuss the law of reflection of light. Demonstrate the reflection of light using mirrors and laser lights. Define and sketch a normal ray, an incident ray, a reflected ray, he angle of incidence and the angle of reflection determination. Demonstrate a number of various incident and reflected rays at different angles and determine the law of reflection

Today we addressed how to compose a claim or topic sentence for the open ended essay question on the AP exam which always requires the student to focus on how certain techniques contribute to the overall meaning of the novel. We reviewed Joshua's essay on Huck Finn, MacBeth, and Brighten Beach Memoirs and then explored how to form a claim based on an interpretation of the work. We spent most of the session generating a claim/ interpretation about Huck Finn that addressed how the resolution of Huck's inner and outer conflicts contributes to the novel's overall meaning. With assistance, Joshua was able to revise his claim to convert it to an interpretation tied to conflict resolution. He did very well in noting the critical role of plot sequencing in MacBeth .

We will do more examples of using the basic formulas to integrate certain functions. We will apply some of algebraic and trigonometric procedure to write the function in a form that fits a formula. This will require a lot od knowledge, creativity, and perseverance.

We parsed the novel's recondite opening essay "The Custom House." . First, we noted how this introduction creates the structure of the narrative, a story within a story ,with the novel itself as the underlying narrative. Noting how the author's persona stumbles upon the narrative of the scarlet letter, we discussed how the scarlet letter's ornate and decorative appearance suggests its wearer was honored by her society. We began to analyze how the interpretation of symbols as well as the use of art as a tool of expiation are central themes of the novel.

Joshua continued working on his design.
