READING - Locate, understand & interpret written information in
prose and documents (manuals, graphs, and schedules)
We are reading the Chapter in "Freedom and Crisis" about the
Great Depression and the New
Deal". The associated
assignment is to take reading notes. (They were not expected to finish
today.) Before silent reading time, we went over the meanings of
"Relief", "Recovery",
"Stabilization", and "Reform" as they related to the
New Deal. But other approaches to
taking
notes were discussed.

Marguerite got the class off with a question about "kinetic
energy" (the energy of motion).
This
was a good intro to more discussion about basic science. It was also important for everyone to
see how often books actually explain the complicated terms they use - if
you take the time to
read carefully.
Matter can be viewed as "Pure Substances" v. Mixtures.
Pure substances can be divided between "Elements" and
"Compounds"
Elements are substances consisting of only one kind of atom.
Atoms can be seen as groups of protons surrounded by electrons.
The number of protons determines the type of atom (element). (One proton is Hydrogen. Two
protons are Helium . . . Six protons are Carbon, Seven protons IS
Nitrogen, Eight protons IS
OXYGEN . . . Etc.
The number of protons determines the number of electrons and the way
electrons are
configured helps determine how they bond with other atoms to form
molecules.
Today humans can make all kinds of compounds and are developing
fantastically advanced
molecular structures (nano technology) that will be the
"magical" materials of the future.
Davey and Migdalia from Women in Action came in and showed a brief video
about Women
and HIV. This formed the basis
of an ongoing discussion about arming oneself with information
and good habits. It is also part of an ongoing discussion

Before further reading and taking book notes on the New Deal, we put
some notes on the board
about the philosophies behind the New Deal.
The New Deal can be viewed as a response to the Great Depression. But that means it can also
be viewed as a response to the
Business Cycle.
As a response to the Great Depression The New Deal was also a response
to OVER
PRODUCTION or UNDER CONSUMPTION.
And another way of looking at the New Deal is as a response to BIG
CORPORATE POWER.
Old time Progressives focused on breaking up monopolies. Many New Dealer focused on
"managing" BIGNESS when it came to business. "Managing" can also be viewed as
"regulating" or "controlling" or
"PLANNING".
Roosevelt was trying to form partnerships between Government and
Business, but at times he
had to confront business interests.
Government and Big Business did not really settle into a
"partnership mode" until World War II (something that Dwight D. Eisenhower would
later call
"The Military/Industrial Complex")
After that (about an hour) the class settled in for about an hour and a
half of quiet reading and
note taking.
