HOMEWORK:

• Ortega:Do a Goodreads assignment if you wish to receive an AE for your SSR grades this month (treat it as necessary extra credit); for next rotation, complete exercises one and two (pages 1-18) and three from exercise one on page 29 (pages 19-29) in "They Say, I Say" and make sure you are read up to page 29

• Holt: textbook reading (pages 10-27) , Science videos due 1st rotation (the 14th)!  The hab is due on the 16th.

WHAT WE DID:

• Ortega: As usual 20 minutes of SSR. The we were introduced to the book "They Say, I Say" .We then splintered off into pairs (with a person not of our MA groups) and worked with these reading pages 1-29 and completing exercises for both chapters (the intro and the official chapter one).   As well as take notes from each bolded section. 2nd rotation (North): We went over the "They Say, I Say" Exercises. 

• Piggott: Test on determinants & multiplying matrices.

• Rivas:We watched two bill group presentations after which we read our pros and cons speeches, after which we debated the potential of each bill on the table (on the 'floor' technically).

• Holt: First we took some notes on Kinematics. Then we received a worksheet with some practice problems. After we worked on yet another lab involving 3 problems making use of our knowledge in the topics of acceleration and velocity.  We then, as a sort of finale to the class, built a ramp and calculated the speed of a tennis ball rolling down the said ramp.

• The Equations:
