Are you bringing questions to class?
No questions communicates to me that you are scoring 90%-100% on all your take home tests.
Hmmm...

Chemistry
In class:

• Completed experiments 10.1 and 10.2. Thank you, Joe and Megan.

At home:

• Finish reading Module 11 this week.
• Complete all the OYO problems this week.
• Update your vocab list in your Chemistry Notebook
• Write up formal lab report and put in your Chemistry notebook

In class next week:

• We'll walk through experiment 11.2 and 11.3. Robert, I think you are on tap for 11.2 and Jacob, you are on tap for 11.3.

American History/Debate
In class, we spent time with our debate partners preparing for next week. Teams are:

1. Robert and Christina (Negative)
2. Andrew and Megan (Negative)
3. Jacob, Joe, and Maggie (Affirmative)

Next American History Essay is due week 9, followed by an Open Interpretation rhetorical event that is due Week 10, see Challenge Guide week 10 for details.

Shakespeare and Poetry

Check your Challenge guide for this week’s reading assignment.  In addition, as we prepare for our next essay, work on the following and bring to class next week:

1. Finish reading Henry V
2. Highlight an interesting section
3. Is Henry a Christian King? Bring passages to support a position.

Henry V Lines and Essay are due week 8.

Logic
Complete Chapter 5 at home. Beginning this week, you have a weekly analysis assignment. For details on what to include in your weekly analysis look in the exercise portion of your lesson. It is the last exercise in the lesson each week.
Here is a link to our first analysis that you can look at. We'll look at this together in class.
Can you pick out the premises and some terms that you would define differently? Can you summarize and state the main argument in the form of a syllogism?

You’ll need to login using your Facebook login to view the article.

Maggie will start off Logic seminar by walking us through the definition of an enthymeme from our Chapter 5 exercises.

Latin
Keep up your readings and work on exercises from Lesson 4 on Verb Tenses.
Note how Cicero uses direct and indirect questions in his oration against Catiline.
As Cicero stands up and presents a case to Catiline's wickedness and anarchy, how does Cicero address the authorities, the senate, that are slow in carrying out justice?
What can we learn about rhetoric from Cicero's example?

Week 4 - Chemistry

In Chemistry today, we completed Labs 10.1 and 10.2. Thank you, Megan and Joe, for leading us in these experiments.

Students should begin Module 11 OYO's this week and complete them.

Students should be writing up their labs, one per module. These should be stored in a notebook, where you are also keeping all your On Your Own problems.

Do you understand Molality? View helpful video > Do you understand the freezing depression and boiling point elevation points? View helpful video here >

THIS WEEK at home:

1 - Write your lab using APA formatting

2 - Finish Module 11 On Your Own (and Practice Problems if you need additional practice on a concept)

3 - Bring questions to class next week which is Week 5

Week 4 - Henry V

As you prepare for our Literature seminar next week:

The background of Henry V is England and France during the Hundred Years' War which were a series of Wars between England and France that lasted a hundred years.

Gather background and context:

1. Do a little research on the background of Henry V. Who is he? When was he? Where was he? I suggest you read some of introduction of The Brightest Heaven of Invention if you have this commentary by Peter Leithart. 
2. Then get some context of the play itself. Again, The Brightest Heaven of Invention, will provide context nicely. You can get a general context here Spark Notes

Having this context on the person of Henry V and then a little background on the play of Henry V will aid in our discussions.

Our governing question, as we read Henry V, is:

Is Henry V an image of a Christian King?

This week as you read through the play, I want you to do two things:

1. Highlight in one color any lines you find that help us answer our governing question. Lines that might demonstrate that Henry V is an image of a Christian king and lines that might demonstrate that Henry V is not an image of a Christian King.
2. Highlight in BLUE any lines that you found interesting. I'm going to call these BLUES as we go forward. When I ask, "What were your blues?" What I mean is, what did you find interesting? Yes, you must have at least one blue! 
3. For the extra ambitious student, highlight references to "ceremony" in the color of your choice. Pay attention to the idea of ceremony. What is ceremony?

There are many phrases and sayings that we use today, that originated from Shakespeare. Have you ever heard the phrase, band of brothers?

From this scene, how would you answer our governing question?

What is the difference between an Empirical Formula and a Molecular Formula, you ask? Good thing, too, since you’re going to need to know it for the next example. (He goes into WAY more detail than you require for this module, so you can stop watching at about 2:17 minutes into the video.)http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=q4q5oEnY-5Q#!
