Algebra 10-12 assignment; March 25
We reviewed the special cases of multiplying polynomials today with our entry task and going over the homework. The last topic in our unit on polynomials focused on multiplying any polynomial, and today that included binomials and trinomials. We used a grid method ( 2x3, and 3x3) to accomplish our goal today, and the students saw several examples before getting started on their homework.Tomorrow we will go through a review sheet in preparation for their test on Thursday.Assignment: Multiplying more polynomials worksheet 1-21 odd, 25-34 allTest on Thurs...

Sunday Morning Med--"Their very lives"
The wicked lie in wait for the righteous, seeking their very lives. Psalm 37Few people really talk about what a stroke of mad genius Bin Laden’s attack on New York’s Twin Towers really was. That he pulled it off—that such a horrific attack could be orchestrated at all—had to seem a miracle even to the Islamic militants so deathly sure of their own hate. How they pulled it off required a network of deception, and a target woefully ignorant of the extent of their hate. The fact is, they did it. But 9/11...
Algebra 10-12 assignment; Jan. 23
We spent another day working on solving systems of equations by graphing. Today's emphasis was to convert into slope intercept first before graphing. We also took a look at what parallel lines and overlapping lines do in terms of solutions for systems of equations.Parallel lines have not solutions, while overlapping lines are the same line and have infinitely many solutions.Assignment: Solving systems by graphing worksheet...

Geometry assignment; May 19
We went over our homework today before beginning the next topic. Today we reviewed how to graph and calculate with two different forms of linear equations. The line equations we reviewed were the slope intercept form and the standard form of a line. Both of these topics were covered in algebra, yet also apply in dealing with coordinate geometry. The students got started working on their assignment towards the end of the period.Assignment: section 13-6; page 550-551; written exercises #1-24 ...

Book Review--The Conquest: The Story of a Negro Pioneer
The story goes that James Fennimore Cooper, a gentleman born with considerably more than a silver spoon, got into a tiff with his wife when the two of them wagered that he could--or couldn't--write a better novel than the one Mrs. Cooper was reading. He said he could; she said he couldn't.Writing novels was not a calling for Cooper, but then he was so wealthy he didn't need a vocation. Still, James Fennimore Cooper is oft considered America's first real novelist. His oeuvre is almost as long as it is classic, even though Mark Twain debunked him so horribly it's a wonder his work survives: A...

Remembering Frederick Manfred--1912-1994 (ix)
To my mind, Frederick Manfred was deeply influenced by modernism, the prevalent intellectual worldview of his time and the cultural and intellectual milieu of, at least, the American Depression. After leaving college he traveled to the East coast, where the rough shod farm kid with the Calvinist pedigree walked in on the substantial political questions of the day, questions which were, during those years, sometimes answered better by socialism and communism than capitalism. In New Jersey and later in Minnesota, he met what his own people would have called “leftists.” They were bright and they...

Sunday Morning Meds--Do not fret
“. . .do not fret when men succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.”Some time ago, the college where I taught celebrated its fiftieth birthday. I was up to my ears in the celebrations, traveled the length and breadth of this continent drumming up whatever enthusiasm I could. It was great fun, but I was glad when it was over.There would be no college here if its first President had never taken a call to serve a church in this little town where the college sits. His name was Bernard J. Haan, and he was a shaker and mover. He made national news in the late 40s by...
Sunday Morning Meds--No More
“A little while, and the wicked will be no more;though you look for them, they will not be found.”Almost ten years has passed since a man known as the BTK (“bind, torture, kill”) Killer was sentenced to 175 years in prison. Dennis Rader, who for years had eluded police in Wichita, Kansas, even as he taunted them through a string of brutal murders, could not, legally, have received a tougher sentence.It is sometimes as difficult to take to heart some of the sentiment of the Psalms as it is tough to stomach wholesale Old Testament blood-letting. Honestly, I have to think long and hard...

Sunday morning meds--Covenant
“They are always generous and lend freely; their children will be blessed.”Most people in our church wouldn’t think it was a proper worship if we didn’t do “Joys and Concerns" every Sabbath, an open-mike opportunity for people to air their griefs, list their needs, and announce their happiness. It's quite sacramental—that may be overstatement; but it wouldn’t be a stretch to say that most of our congregation—Covenant Church—thinks of the public, weekly prayer bulletin board as a signature of our fellowship. It’s part of how we’re us.I don't like being Scrooge, but I'm not always so fond...

Wasicu at Chankpe Opi: A White Man at Wounded Knee IV
But what exactly did happen on the morning of December 29, 1890?With nothing to stop it, sound travels easily on a landscape this barren. So imagine the bleat of reveille cutting through the morning cold. It’s eight o’clock, and the sun rises magnificently, albeit late, winter solstice just a few days behind. Many of the women, some of them singing, are packing for the 17-mile trip to Pine Ridge, where they anticipate meeting relatives and friends. Children play innocently around the ragged tipis and wagons, and for the first morning in many, most have eaten well. By Indian messenger, Col....
