Shakespeare: Cymbeline, continue Act II, Scene IV. Iachimo reports back to Posthumus. Oops--we forgot about this one. Dollygirl was fighting a cold today and we didn't get to every subject.
Dividing fractions: Work through this word problem found here: "Cassie's bird feeder holds 1/2 of a cup of birdseed. Cassie is filling the bird feeder with a scoop that holds 1/10 of a cup. How many scoops of birdseed will Cassie put into the feeder?" Minds on Math 8, page 89, word problems 16, 17, 18, 19. Now write your own problem.
Science: see Monday.

The Hobbit: Chapter 10, "A Warm Welcome"
"The lands opened wide about him, filled with the waters of the river which broke up and wandered in a hundred winding courses, or halted in marshes and pools dotted with isles on every side; but still a strong water flowed on steadily through the midst. And far away, its dark head in a torn cloud, there loomed the Mountain!"
Skills & Crafts: work on Dollygirl's dollmaking project.
Grammar & composition: Write Source 2000, sections 311 and on. As an example of recalling information, list in sentences the six levels of thinking. No? See the example in the book about the 1985 Live Aid concerts. What is the difference between recalling and understanding? Your writing assignment for today: write a paragraph describing what Grandpa told you about V-E Day in 1945. Use as many concrete details as you can remember. We didn't get to this, since we read extra in science and did extra sewing as well.
