Holy Crap! We're behind!

Okay, we're behind anyway with your algebra because we dragged out collective arse last year but now we're behind on the NEW school year because you went and got all sickified!

 DON'T GET SICKIFIED AGAIN!!!

Let's move on to what I expect of you today. Tons. Tons of tons. Tons of tons of tons.

Fiddle:
Practice. You have a lesson today!

Math:
Foerster's Algebra 7.8 - Solving Systems of Equations by Substitution
Read, work the examples and do evens in the exercise. Test yourself and if you score under 90% do the odds.
Jacob's Geometry Ch. 1, Lesson 2. Do sets 1, 2 and 3.

Chemistry:
Read 1.2. Answer the review questions in your binder. We will do the Dazoo activity with Harry.

Latin:
Grammatica Latina and Pensum A (of some chapter that you did not enter into the Scholaric site. Bad, bad girl.)

English:
You've read John Wyndam's Web and you've mentioned a few interesting thoughts about it. Come up with a thesis and write a short essay on it. Refer to The Lively Art of Writing as needed. I want the thesis statement by tomorrow (put it in the comments section of the blog) and the essay is due on Friday afternoon.

Poetry:
Read Versification in The Norton Anthology of Poetry, all 20 pages. Go back to the first page and reread the information on the three broad categories of poetry. Summarize the definitions in your binder. 
Read Book 1 of The Fairie Queene by Edmund Spenser, p. 152. When I say read I mean read it through once to get a sense of it. Read it through again while paying special attention to the footnotes. Some of this may need to be homework for today. BWAHAHAHAHA!!!

Remember:
You have three weeks left to get Guns, Germs and Steel read. Also, I'd like to keep track of books, short stories, poems, articles you've read and documentaries you've watched. I know I've missed a few from the summer so could you add those to the comments section? PLEEEEEEAAAASE?
I love you dearest child. Muchly.
