7:00 to 7:07 Reading Comprehension
7:07 to 7:15 we will have our Grammar lecture, using this passage
7:15 to 7:25 we will have our math lecture, also using this same passage.
7:25-7:30 We will do the first question/problem from each online worksheet together, then
you finish the online activities from all three lectures individually on the classroom computers,
on your laptop or, on your smart phone.
7:00-7:07 Reading Comprehension: What conclusion has the author drawn and
why?
“Nationalism sparked intense competition between European nations. by the turn of the
twentieth century. a fierce rivalry had developed among Europe’s most powerful countries.
Those countries were Germany, Austria-Hungary, Great britain, Russia, Italy, and France. In
June 1914, World war I began.” (Today’s reading comes from P. 285 of Peterson’s Master the HiSET, 2nd Edition …)
Where are the proper nouns in this passage?
Is there any lack of capitalization in this passage?
Where are the missing capital letters in this passage?
Where are the other Grammatical errors?
7:07 Grammar lecture: Capitalizing proper nouns
Rules:
Capitalize the titles of
high-ranking government
officials when used with or
before their names. Do not
capitalize the civil title if it is
used instead of the name.
Examples:
The president will address Congress.
All senators are expected to attend.
The governors, lieutenant governors,
and attorneys general called for a
special task force.
Governor Connelly, Lieutenant
Governor Martinez, and Senators
James and Hennessy will attend the
meeting.
Capitalize a title when used
as a direct address even
when the person is not
named.
Examples:
Will you be holding a press
conference, Madame President?
Please give us your opinion of this
latest development, Senator.
We need your response quickly, Mr.
President.
We need your response quickly,
President Obama.
Will you help me with my homework,
Dad?
When you use the
complete names of
departments, capitalize. You
may also capitalize a
shortened form of a
department. Do not
capitalize when these words
are used as adjectives or
Examples:
the United Nations General
Assembly
the General Assembly
Congress
a congressional committee
generically.
Capitalize civil titles only
when used with the name
following or when
addressing someone
directly.
Examples:
Councilman James Harris
the councilman
James Harris, councilman
How are you voting, Councilman?
President Obama
the president
If you are working on
government documents or
you are representing a
government agency, then
you may capitalize words
like City, County,
and District when they stand
alone.
Example: The County will implement
the plan approved by the voters last
June.
When you refer back to a
proper noun using a
shortened version of the
original name, you may
capitalize it.
Examples:
The District Water Plan allocates …
The Plan calls for …
The Federal Bureau of Investigation
has taken the case. The Bureau has
sent out a bulletin to other federal
departments to enlist their help in
capturing the fugitive.
However, if you are not
working on government
documents or are not
representing a government
agency, do not capitalize
generic or shortened terms.
Examples:
The county will implement the plan …
The plan calls for …
The bureau has sent out a bulletin …

What was my SmartAlec answer to “Express 100 in exponential form?”
So what is any # raised to the 1st power?
What might any # raised to the 0
th
power be?
How might we evaluate 23
+ 2
0
?
How about .2*.2*.2? How would we do this in fractional form? In decimal
form?
What is .2*.2*.2 in exponential form?
What do you notice about the exponent and the number of decimal places?
Let’s summarize on a chart: Arithmetic form, Fractional form, decimal form,
exponential form
Continuing from yesterday for a fun group activity: If you want to partner up
with a classmate, work together for 7 minutes to take a crack at:
The Djinni’s Offer:
“After opening an ancient bottle you find on the beach, a Djinni
appears. In payment for his freedom, he gives you a choice of either
50,000 gold coins or one magical gold coin. The magic coin will turn
into two gold coins on the first day. The two coins will turn into four
coins total at the end of two days. By the end or the third day there will
be eight gold coins total. The Djinni explains that the magic coins will
continue this pattern of doubling each day for one moon cycle, 28
days. Which prize do you choose?
When you have made your choice, answer these questions:
 The number of coins on the third day will be 2×2×2. Can you write
another expression using exponents for the number of coins there will be on the third day?
 Write an expression for the number of coins there will be on the
28th day. Is this more or less than a million coins?”
