ABSTRACT
In preparation for Nora’s entry into college, the authors explore: the need to have long-term goals that would guide her choice of studies; the topics of independence and risk-taking; and the difference between job, occupation, and career. New strategies are introduced for mastery of her unit on zoology. The month of May brings an abbreviated number of sessions owing to the brief departure out of the country. Nora’s new Learning Block that week was zoology, so they reached again for the World Book, which, thankfully, was no longer a threat. On to coelenterates and mollusks and how they operate. Never before did a common backyard snail get such attention, such piercing examination of its juices and movements under magnification. Tides came up once more in this lesson, and now Nora could examine their relationship to a new application: animal life in tide pools.
