Week 30: Atoms, West Africa, and Reaganomics

The student has started a new science textbook, skipping the first three chapters on Matter, Changing States and Density, as she studied this in elementary school. There was some confusion on what was expected of her writing the past weeks, as she thought the essays were her writing class and not homework for her other subjects. So she is still on Unit 6 and Cause-Effect Essays.
