As Atticus has encountered reading comprehension issues over the past sessions, we today practiced annotating the text while reading as a means of aiding comprehension and retention. In this exercise, we underlined specific areas that addressed the study guide questions Atticus had difficulty answering . We further explored why the dystopian society of the novel elected to select one person to hold all of society's painful memories. We further used the text to address Atticus' questions about what lies beyond the community.

This morning, Atticus took the unit 2 test. He answered questions on integers and how they are used to represent real-world quantities, how to plot, compare, and order rational numbers using a number line, how absolute values are used to describe quantities, how to graph points with rational coordinates on a coordinate plane, and finding distance between two points on a coordinate plane. Atticus did a great job and scored a 92%.
After briefly reviewing Atticus' chapter quiz from last session, we examined the crux of the novel:the importance of having the right to choose even at the cost of making a mistake. On the board, we separated the dystopian society's rationale for erasing choice i.e. its claimed benefits from the costs of living in a society where one can not even choose the color of one's clothes. Atticus further studied the text as a prelude to our discussion on the importance of the role of the Receiver of Memories in society. We addressed how as readers we might conceptualize how the memories of the prior Receiver were disbursed to society at large when the prior Receiver "disappeared" .
Today, we reviewed one of the 6 characteristics of living things: reproduction (asexual and sexual). We then began discussing the next characteristic: response to stimuli. I wrote the words stimuli, stimulus, and stimulate on the board, and underlined the root, "stim." We discussed that all these words involve triggering a living thing to respond. We viewed a short video illustrating human response to stimuli, pausing for comprehension, to discuss, and notate. We observed that stimuli involve our 5 senses: hearing, touch, taste, sight, and smell.
