2. Telling HW: Tell your parents about what you learned in history class today. Here are a few key words to help you with your discussion: Illuminated Manuscripts, 15th century, Johannes Gutenberg, printing press, Gutenberg Bible. Finish your sharing with this quote and question: Quote: "If you never saw a book or a newspaper or a magazine (and of course there was no TV), you would't know much. You'd have to believe whatever you were told--by the lord of the manor or the king or the priests. It would be hard to think for yourself. The Englishman, Thomas Carlyle (he was a historian), said that Gutenberg's press created "a whole new democratic world." Question: How do books give power to people? Origin of the word democracy: late 16th century: from French démocratie, via late Latin from Greek dēmokratia, from dēmos ‘the people’ + -kratia ‘power, rule.’ You find 108 magical golden tutus that when worn by you cause your math teacher to do all your homework. However, each tutu can only be worn once and then it turns into Richard Simmons. But still, they're pretty cool. You decide to keep 2/3 of the 108 tutus and you want to give your friend 4/9 of the 108 tutus. What's the problem?
1. Find 4 real-life fractions at home and put them in order from least to greatest. Hint: look in the kitchen!
2. Find 5 phrases or sets of words that resonate from the poem, Aristotle. Using MLA formatting, write them down. Then think about the words and how they make you feel. Then write down those thoughts. This process is a beginning step to literary analysis, which is a fancy term for telling what you think the author is saying in any given work. Here's an example to follow, but keep in mind this is my teacher version, and all I am expecting you to do is the best you can. As I said before, just think about how the words "feel" to you and write those ideas down. EXAMPLE: "Disappointment unshoulders his knapsack here and pitches his ragged tent." line 33 Analysis: I think the poet is saying that disappointment, which is a sad feeling, is planning to stay a long time. The poet's use of the word "ragged" feels like being poor, and the fact that he (disappointment) has set up camp ("pitches his ragged tent") makes it feel like sadness, and perhaps poverty, are going to stay a very long time.

2. RAA As we are working with the skill of summary writing, notice how in every event there is a beginning, middle, and an end.
