We continued a close textual study of the character ,Daisy Miller, keeping in mind the narrator's ongoing perplexity over Daisy's apparent effrontery and willingness to defy social norms in a rigid class conscious society . We explored why Daisy's familiarity with her courier , an employee, makes her appear common to proper society as well as Daisy's other social faux pas. While the narrator seems at first disposed to excuse Daisy's behavior as a manifestation of innocence, Joshua did well noting the author's ambiguity in this regard when Daisy expresses disappointment that her agreeing to visit The Castle of Chilean at night with a man while unaccompanied does not cause more of a fuss or disruption. We discussed how this reaction perhaps suggests that Daisy is a social rebel refusing to be imprisoned by social norms. With this image in mind ,we were able to explore the significance of Byron's poem, the Castle of Chillon ,about a nameless narrator imprisoned for his beliefs.

Show the dissociation of acids and bases into hydronium ions and hydroxide ions. Formulate how ammonia and sodium bicarbonate are exceptions to the rule.

Today we began solving equations with trig functions inside them. This was a difficult lesson for Joshua. Not only does Joshua have to understand the algebra involved, he has to be careful to submit solutions that correspond to the domain given in the problem. This is tricky to think about. We strategized some steps to make sure that everything is considered. We did not finish the lesson because we need more practice.

Correct and discuss p 387 Felix 8 questions - infinitive clauses with zu then p 389 Sprach - Info brauchen and scheinen Exercise 5 began answering the 5 questions.

Today was a challenging day for new content, but Joshua did an excellent job. We discussed inverse trig functions, their graphs, domains, and ranges. We took notes going through the logic of why we have to restrict the domain to make the relation a function. Then we practiced evaluating the inverse trig functions - considering their appropriate domain. These problems require much higher order thinking. Joshua did a great job.

Lab exercise to demonstrate how a catalyst will lower the activation energy and allow a reaction to occur at a faster rate.

We explored Henry James' esoteric essay ,"The Art of Fiction" and then discussed how James' explication of his art form manifests in the novel's narrative technique. I outlined the main points of the essay explaining how James claims it is the writer's impression of experience that conveys reality, i.e. deriving the unseen from the seen. Joshua astutely noted the arrogance inherent in James' assertion that only the intelligent have this ability. We then discussed the novel's depiction of the differing social and cultural norms of America and Europe ,and began to address the novel's operative inquiry :is Daisy an innocent, a flirt , or a rebel.

Began by discussing in German what Joshua did for Easter, then having him write a paragraph on the whiteboard about it in German. Then page 387 in Deutsch Na klar textbook discussing infinitive clauses with zu began exercise 1 Felix.
