We continued to analyze the short story "The Untold Lie" as a vehicle for instruction focused on the function of characterization, and setting. Joshua identified textual passages that reveal and convey character ,and I explained how to draw inferences about character from textual details.. I We further explored the relationship between the awe inspiring autumn setting and the character's past longings as evidence of character . Last,I provided instruction on narration and identifying the role and limitations of the narrator. From this instruction, I led into our next analysis of The Great Gatsby by placing three analytical questions on the board that will be due on Wednesday. I again defined and explained narrator's perspective , or view of the world based on his history and past, and illustrated an example from the novel where tone conveys the narrator's perspective.

Joshua opened his Influence Map Project file. Joshua was given time to find 13 images that would be used for his project. I worked with Joshua to create an Influence Map that featured all of the images that he collected.

We will do a review of chapter 2 for a few minutes as a lead in to chapter 3. Our new topic for today is extrema on a closed interval. We will define an extreme value as a local (relative) minimum, a local (relative) maximum, a global (absolute) maximum, or a global (absolute) minimum. Extrema can occur at the endpoints of the closed interval or at a point in the interval where f'(x) = 0 or where f'(x) is undefined. Examples will be done to demonstrate these concepts.

Prepare and analyze a graph using the results from last Friday's lab dealing with acceleration due to changing force.
Discuss friction, outline parameters which describe friction. Concentrate on friction being a force. Discuss constant velocity when friction and force are equal. Introduce force and pressure relationship. Elicit why and how pressure difference is due to force/umt area

Test-Chapter 3 text.

School was closed due to Tropical Storm Helene

Joshua was instructed to open his Photoshop file and we worked together to complete the triadic and monochromatic color schemes for his color schemes.

Determination of changes in oxidation numbers of elements based on the molecular compounds they are found in. Analysis of homework assignment. Refer to Thursday' summary.

Investigate the effect of changing mass on acceleration. This was the lab prepared for Thursday. The lab was shortened slightly to fit into the one period time slot, Thursday's time would have been 2 periods.

Analysis of homework problem answers. Discussion to correct incomplete or wrong answers. Solve a few new oxidation number problems and discuss why element oxidation numbers may be different in different compounds
