vocabulary
Simple machine – a device that reduces the amount of force needed to perform a task or changes the direction of a force
Force – a push or pull that changes the motion of an object.
The six basic simple machines are: lever, wheel and axle, pulley, inclined plane, wedge and screw.
Fulcrum – a fixed point of a lever.
Effort – force applied to a lever
Resistance – the weight being lifted
Mechanical advantage – the amount by which force or motion is magnified in a simple machine.

IEW: We have written an outline for character development of Praiseworthy. Today I demonstrated how to use Decorations. Students can use their outline to write a first draft of their essay on the character of Praiseworthy.  Then, edit the draft by adding 6 Dress Ups, 6 Sentence Openers and 6 Decorations. Finally, rewrite the essay a final time, marking all Dress Ups, Sentence Openers and Decorations. Bring everything to class Tuesday.

Dress Ups: who/which clause, -ly word, strong verb, quality adjective, www.asia, because clause

Sentence Opener: 1) Subject, 2) Prepositional, 3) -ly, 4) -ing, 5) www.asiab, 6) VSS (very short sentence)

Decorations: question, conversation, 3sss (3 short, staccato sentences), simile/metaphor, alliteration (repeated consonant sounds like: fuming, fiery furnace).

American History: Read "John Brown's Raid" and "Lincoln's Youth"
Write down four important facts from each chapter to share in class. I have been disappointed with this exercise because several students don't seem to bother with writing anything down. If more students participate, discussion is much richer!

American Literature: Please complete "Freedom Train beginning on Chapter 2 to page 101.  Add these vocabulary words to your vocabulary notebooks after looking up the definition.  
Pestilence
Plantation
Quaker
Ramshackle
Ration
Resinous
Reproached

Safe house
Sentinel
Somber
Spirituals
Solid
