In today's class, we finished our discussion on genetics, including talking about gel electrophoresis, DNA fingerprinting, and therapeutic cloning. We then started on a quiz that tests Cameron's knowledge on everything he's learned so far on genetics.
As the Allied countries and the Soviet Union fell into the Cold War, the Domino Theory became a popular political mindset. The Domino Theory stated that if the Soviets were allowed to take over one country and institute communism, then nearby countries would fall like dominoes to the evils of communism. The Domino Theory pushed the U.S. to strengthen its alliances with existing partners in Western Europe. The United States focused on a policy of containment, believing containing communism to areas where it already existed would be the best approach to deal with Soviet threats of communist expansion. The United States and other Allied countries formed NATO to deal with Soviet threat of force and communism. NATO was built upon The Western Union Defense Organization. In 1999, NATO launched airstrikes against Yugoslavia to put an end to the ethnic cleansing that was occurring and help instill peace. The Soviet response to NATO was the Warsaw Pact. NATO was different from the Warsaw Pact because NATO was a peaceful alliance of countries.

Remote class today for 2nd period. Cameron didn't come online until 20+ minutes after class began due to Dr. Pat also sending Cameron a text through me & my computer. Then Cameron responded. He told us he never logged off Teams (but he was showing he wasn't logged in on our end.) Dr. Pat explained that Cameron needs to be proactive about connecting to his classes through Teams. Cameron told me he was home and "just didn't feel like coming to school today,"after being absent entirely yesterday."
Remote class today. Substituted during period 4, 11:15 class with Cameron. There was no audio. Cameron and I both couldn't hear one another. Megan and Jordy worked for almost the entirety of 4th period to remedy the issue. Ultimately, the conclusion seemed to be that there was no tech issue on our end. This period was scheduled as Cameron's math period with Theresa.
Today we continued reviewing the direct and indirect objects in sentences. We watched a video about how to avoid the repetition of nouns. Then, we practiced the vocabulary learned during the week.
