Slope

Imagery to create this poem. “The Man in the Dead Machine” is split up into 3 stanzas and is split into two different realities. The poem starts out by telling the reader what plane the pilot was flying and where the pilot had crashed, “High on a slope in New Guinea” (1). The author describes how the pilot died in stanza 3, he was hit by shrapnel and was lying in his cockpit held “by dry sinews at neck and shoulder,” (2). Then, in stanza 3, the author describes…

scientists have been trying to figure out why dark lines appear and disappear seasonally on the surface of Mars. The lines would appear and vanish in the same places during the warmer seasons, near the planet’s equator. This phenomenon is known as slope lineae. NASA has just confirmed that saltwater found in perchlorates’ crystal structure is what causes this to happen. This is very controversial because it raises the intriguing questions of whether or not life could exist on Mars. However,…

envelop me as I speed through the frosty hills. Dazzlingly bright snow forces me to squint. Racing down the slopes, I try to keep up with my father, who is weaving in and out of trees. The cold air swooshes into my face, invigorating my senses and mind. Speeding up and slowing down, I drift around trees and rebound off bumps, enjoying the experience thoroughly. Before me, arises a steep slope, and I ready myself for some fun. I come closer and closer, and finally, I see what’s awaiting. The…

flipped math classroom, but we recently decided to go back to the more “traditional” method to see how or if student learning was impacted. Today, Ms. Yoder stood at the front of the room and lead the students through a lecture on how to compare the slopes of functions. We provide note guides to students who benefit from the accommodation, like IEP student M. I kept…

introduced to me in their courses bewildered me as I most likely would have never learned what was offered, at least at the pace of a regular high school student. I learned more about the many uses of a calculator, such as graphing algebraic equations, slope, intersecting lines, etc. I was also prepared for my upcoming Algebra course…
