Enrichment

*This session was requested by Siddartha K* During this session, we will be going over the first unit in Siddartha's science curriculum called Unit 1: Matter and Energy.

These are the standards:

* Students can describe the structure of atoms, including the masses, electrical charges, and locations, of protons and neutrons in the nucleus and electrons in the electron cloud.

* Students can identify that protons determine an element’s identity and valence electrons determine its chemical properties,including reactivity.

* Students can interpret the arrangement of the Periodic Table, including groups and periods, to explain how properties are used to classify elements.

* Students can recognize that chemical formulas are used to identify substances and determine the number of atoms of each element in chemical formulas containing subscripts. * Students can investigate how evidence of chemical reactions indicates that new substances with different properties are formed and how that relates to the law of conservation of mass. If you have any questions, feel free to send me a message!

The session is a discussion of the recent 2022 PSAT/NMSQT results and experiences. I intend this to be a fun session and not one of remorse or pain.

Starting with Period 1. Talking about Colombian exchange

We will begin Unit 2: Age of Reformation. We'll also do some practice questions and writing examples from past AP exams.

Welcome poets, to the Coffeehouse! Let's introduce ourselves and get exploring! Today, we'll look at a variety of poems by different authors, most of them contemporary. But there will also be classics! (Let's be real, who can hate on Shakespeare?) Let's see just how wide the world is :D

We will go through the first 3-4 (based on learners request) units of the AP Human Geography Collegeboard curriculum to prepare for upcoming exams.

Are you having trouble understanding poetic devices in English class, or do you just want to revisit the main ones before an exam? Well, this is the session for you!

Hey everyone! In this session, we’ll be going through the main and most common poetic devices there are in English literature (e.g. Alliteration, Anaphora, Rhetorical Question, Hyperbole Exaggeration etc.), and some of the differences between the ones which might seem like they’re the same, but they actually are not. After explaining the poetic devices, we’ll be taking a quiz to see how much we’ve learned and afterwards, there will be time for you to ask any questions that you might have!

Hope to see you there!

In this session, we will discuss how the tests differ in format and content.

1. ACT Science vs. SAT Reading (Science Passages).

2. ACT Math vs. SAT Math

3. ACT Reading vs. SAT Writing

4. ACT English vs. SAT Reading

Notes: * We will *not* cover how colleges interpret test scores. * In my opinion, I do believe the ACT is a more difficult test due to its breadth. However, some students may naturally do better on the ACT than the SAT. This session should help you become more informed about which one to take.

This is a weekly review and study session on general high school math and science. Please bring in questions to work on from your school homework.

We will do a quick review over Units 1 and 2 and begin working on Unit 3: Absolutism and Constitutionalism.

We're going to have a competition, I will say the theme in the class.

We will begin working on Unit 4: Scientific, Philosophical, and Political Developments. We will also do in session activities for topic discussions and debates.

Grab a drink and a snack, let's get settled in, poets! Today, let's play with the idea of "abstractness". Some poems are very literal, others make absolutely no sense. But why are both equally beautiful? Just how crazy can we be, and still have people be like: "I kinda get it..."? Let's unhook ourselves from the constraints of strict logic!

We will review a presentation of major chemistry topics as well as relearn difficult concepts. There will be multiple practice problems for you to practice your skills, adn there may be games involved... Who ever said learning can't be fun? ;)

Here is what you will learn :

-> How to set up a chessboard.

-> What pawn promotion is and how to do it.

-> The movement of every chess piece.

-> How to checkmate and win the game!

Today we will be reviewing/learning the present tense in Spanish! This will include regular "-ar," "-ir," and "-er" verbs, focusing on "ser" and "estar." We will look over a PowerPoint and then move on to some interactive exercises. Throughout, we will learn some necessary vocabulary! Bring a "cuaderno" (notebook) and "lapiz" (pencil) please!

Hey hey hey! Grab a coffee/juice/water and a snack! Let's do some personal exploring. Look for a poem that resonates with a personal value/childhood memory/meaningful experience. Share that poem. Why does it resonate? And let's be inspired to write a powerful personal "diary" poem of our own!

In this session, we will review the PowerPoint on the Spanish present tense and then begin working on building our own sentences with the knowledge we have gained thus far! Also, we will introduce some common adjectives to help enrich our language. Per usual, have a notebook and pen handy!

We will begin working on Unit 5: Conflict, Crisis, and Reaction in the Late 18th Century and host discussions on the modern impacts of historical events.

We will begin working on Unit 6: Industrialization and its Effects and review test-taking methods regarding examining historical documents and charts.

You already know it, grab a drink and a snack at the Coffeehouse! Today, let's look a specific "forms" of poetry. What's a sestina? Haiku? Pantoum? How can we be creative while giving ourselves a challenge? How can it be even more exciting?

We will review what we have covered thus far and introduce some Spanish prepositional clauses (al lado de, lejos de, etc.). Per usual, more "vocabulario." We will go over a PowerPoint and work on some exercises!

Session topic(s): General knowledge needed for the course/vital information for German.

Things we will go over:

-Weird things in German

-Word genders basics

-German alphabet

-Greetings -Farewells -Common words/phrases -Other calendar words -Days of the week -Months of the year -Seasons -Numbers 1-30 -Colors

We will begin working on Unit 7: 19th-Century Perspectives and Political Developments as well as a reflection on past units.
