Day 38/67, Five Month GED, comparisons in literature and in math: Similes, and Slope

      Adulting is about knowing how you learn most effectively, but also about understanding systems, similes…

and relationships of change between varying quantities. 

Like the rise in the price of a main staple, like rice: over a certain run of time, whether in hours, days, or weeks…

Middle of week 10/18

Day 38, Week 10, Lesson plan

Grammar: using a simile

Math:Slope as ratio of Y:X

Day 38 Exit Tix

(Day 37 … Day 39)

Action Items:

1.) What do you think is one possible scenario where rice can (or has…) cause riots?

2.) Why might it be important that citizens in a republic understand these possible scenarios?

3.) Write a book, story, blog post or tweet that uses those thoughts, and then, please tell us about it! If you write a book, once it is published please consider donating a copy to your local public library.  I’m editing a book proposing a kinder way for our world, and this is part of my contribution to it:  Project Do Better.

4.)  Feel free to answer the exit ticket questions in the comments, or pose any other questions you may have about the lesson, if you wish.

Stayed on Freedom’s Call
(free: https://archive.org/details/StayedOnF…)
includes two ‘imagination-rich’ walking tours, with songs, of Washington, DC. New interviews and research are woven into stories of old struggles shared by both the Jewish and African-American communities in the capital city.

Shared histories are explored from a new perspective of cultural parallels and parallel institution-building which brought the two communities together culturally and historically.
