Discuss Arrhenius's theory of acids and bases. Use examples to demonstrate the dissociation into hydrogen ions and an anion. Discuss the formation of the hydronium ion from water. Indicate the formation of OH ions when a molecule dissociates into a bass molecule. View chart of acid and base strength based on the dissociations constant.
Introduce the Bronsted-Lowrly theory of acid and base classification. Use examples to demonstrate the transfer of a proton indicates an acid and the acceptance of a proton indicates a base. Use examples to show each type of formation.

First we will do a brief review of derivatives. We will then do three new types of problems: rewriting the function before differentiating, linearization of a function, and finding horizontal tangents to a curve.

Using Browning's poem " My Last Duchess",Joshua discussed words and phrases that supported his paragraph on characterization . I discussed adding some technical literary terms such as allusion and provided some organizational ideas. We then studied "My Theme for English B". I provided instruction on how stanzas, line breaks ,and punctuation combine to create meaning and emphasize shifts in tone and subject. I further discussed Langston Hughes and the Harlem Renaissance. This took us into our second session during which I provided ideas ,strategies ,and comments to Joshua's college application essay.

As part of the aqueous solution discussion, precipitation formation is determined from ions formed during double replacement reactions. Table of solubility is used to determine if the products formed will be ions or molecular precipitates. A series of examples are used to demonstrate how to determine the state of the products. Complete net ionic equations are written for each example.

We will do examples from section 2.1 in the text to review recent concepts. We will determine the derivative of the natural exponential function, e^x.

For our introductory lesson on Unit 2, AP Poetry,on the board I defined: four types of poems, steps to interpret a poem(enjambment, paraphrase, identify the speaker , identify poetic techniques) poetic apostrophe, assonance, caesura, meter ,foot ,and scansion. We then began to analyze Browning's "Last Duchess" , a dramatic poem, to explore characterization, and to practice identifying the antecedent to pronouns which are often hard to discern due to their placement in a stanza.

Discuss how motion is relative to a fixed point. Objects at rest have motion, relative to the Earth. Speed is relative to the Earth's surface. Elicit formula to determine speed. Define and use examples to differentiate between instantaneous and average speed. Elicit formula for average speed. Discuss velocity and constant velocity.

Discuss why and how most reactions proceed in aqueous solution. Define solution. Discuss the formation of ions in aqueous solution, called dissociation. Present a diagram depicting ionization process and the attraction of water molecules to ions. Define electrolyte and differentiate between a strong, weak and non electrolyte, Use examples to clarify each model type.

The textbook arrived yesterday so we will take a few minutes to look at features that will be useful in learning calculus. We also will learn to find the equation of the tangent line to a curve. We will also add a new rule for finding a derivative: the quotient rule. Several problems from the textbook will serve as examples of finding derivatives and tangent lines.

Joshua took a test on Unit 1 during today's session.
