1. Free Reading Dann0, if you are looking for something, try finding the Foundation Trilogy by Isaac Asimov

2. Literature: Read the first Act of Othello. Try Acting it out. See if you can figure out why Iago and Rodrigo are angry with Othello. Call me around 1:30 on Skype and we'll talk about it.

3. History: Zeb, begin the book on the history of codes.
Dan-dan: this month we looked a little at the Indian wars and at the Westward expansion. Now we are going to return to the east to look at industrialization in the second half of the nineteenth century.

First, for today, read about the background to industrialization, which was driven by the rise of steel.

4. Math
Big math books and practice books, both of you

5. Science
Dan-dan, big science book (biology)
Both of you -- review chapter 1 and 2 in the Chemsitry for Dummies, then do the workbook, chapter 1 TOGETHER. See if you can solve the problems. Then look in the back of the chapter for the answers. If you have question, save it for the 1:30

No writing books today.












For later study
