Russian I - Helpful Resource
Russian I Students -
Here is a link to a very useful resource for explaining and practicing Russian grammar. You'll have to look at all chapters to review what we've done in class. If you see topics which were not covered in the course of the year, overlook them, the program at UCLA uses a different system.
I hope this is helpful as you prepare for your exam.

All Students -
Please make sure that you follow the exam schedule and attend all required review sessions. My review sessions will be especially helpful in AP and Russian since I have written those exams. For English II and III we will review all the needed skills and types of questions on the exams to prepare.
If you have missing work or things to be completed you must finish by Friday the 30th of May. This is the day that I will finalize my 4th Quarter Grades.

Homework for A-Day Students: Final Weekend: 5/15/2014
AP English III
For this weekend I want for all of you to begin preparing for your final exams by making a study list of texts we've read this year, authors, and significant characters in each. Go all the way back to Steinbeck for this. For those of you planning on taking the exam, this will be highly fruitful in organizing your study of these different pieces this year.
In addition, we'll be having a bit of a writing workshop on college admissions essays. Try to look at the applications for schools which interest you and find essay prompts. Bring those with you to class on Monday so that we can begin to talk about effective strategies for compiling and completing these essays.
In addition, here is the link for the AP Summer Scholars Camp hosted by DPS - A good opportunity for those of you in town this summer to develop your AP skills before next year.

No homework this weekend as you had a test today. Make sure that if you have missing work that you get this turned in. I'd also recommend studying a bit for your final - we'll start review on Monday with the introduction and chapter one. Don't forget as well that we will have our writing assignment on Wednesday and Thursday in class.

I hope that today's brief conversation helped you all to see the larger point that Wiesel is making about himself and a lot of survivors from the camps after World War II.

B-Day Homework - Super Late - So Sorry - 5/12/2014
Honors English II
Incredibly sorry that I didn't get this posted. I had a presentation which threw off my afternoon and this just flew out of my mind. I'll also blame cutting the grass since I was too exhausted to do anything after that.
To those of you who submitted your papers yesterday, thank you. The resubmission window is open and Friday is the last day to submit those items. Friday is actually the last day for all items for everyone. For tonight finish reading Night. We'll be taking our final exam on Wiesel's narrative on Tuesday the 20th and then present our website projects on Thursday the 22nd. The extension for the websites is due to the technical problems we were having in the labs.
With the website projects, remember to use e-mail to communicate with me on those. If you've shared with me I can get in there and help you to format and incorporate things. Also remember to use images and videos, but to cite all sourced information.
ESL English III
I was happy that many of you performed well on the practice multiple choice. We'll be doing more of those in the days to come. For tonight, continue to review those questions and strategies. If you got a question wrong, look at the right answer and try to ask yourself why the answer you selected isn't as good as the one labeled correct.
Next class we will have our (hopefully) last day in the library and you'll be printing all of your items for submission.

Homework for the Weekend - B Day - 5/8/2014
Honors English II
This weekend you all will be doing some textual analysis between chapters two and six focusing on the idea of parallelism. Your goal within this activity is to investigate the similarities in order to see the underlying differences. First, set up your paper: Create four columns (item/chapter two/chapter six/analysis). For the items, you must analyze Elie and the group/community, you may then choose two other items you see as parallel. With each chapter, find a quotation which helps you to see the parallelism between the item in chapter two and in chapter six. Lastly, analyze and explain the larger difference you've identified.
This is a high level activity in analysis and pattern recognition. Great skills to develop before our EOC. Also, remember that paper resubmissions are coming due. If you would like to resubmit, get that settled.
ESL English III
Make sure that if you have a native language to English dictionary that you bring that with you to class so that we can work on strategies for using that tool effectively.

Remember to have sharpened number two pencils, a few pens, and a watch for the exam so that you can time yourselves on the essays. I would also suggest a good breakfast on Friday morning.
Please come to my room at 7:30 so we can do our chant before you all march over to the exam. Remember that this is an English exam; don't stay up cramming the night before - a good night's sleep will do you much better.
Russian I
Tonight for homework you need to complete exercise six which is the fill in the blanks activity. Use a dictionary to find the word needed and then use clues to put the words in the proper tense or case. Most of these words are verbs, so this is an excellent final review on conjugation and verb completion. Make sure that this is complete for Friday when I will collect it and your most recent warm-up sheet for an accuracy check.
Also, you should try to begin preparing yourselves for your final writing assignment which will fall on the 21st and 22nd of this month. You received the prompt today, take this time to prepare, write drafts, and ask for my help.
Your exam on verb conjugation will fall on the 15th and 16th which is next week. We've been reviewing a lot so I expect good things from all of you.

Due to the fact that we had a lot of students affected by today's AP Examinations we did not hold class and used the time as a study hall. I appreciate those of you who were in class today who spent the time focusing on your work and being productive. For next class, please make sure that you have thoroughly read and annotated George Orwell's "Shooting an Elephant". This is our last text before the exam on Friday, so make sure that you approach it with the necessary time and effort.

Today I conferenced with each of you on your answers to the questions in Exercise Nine. Tonight I would ask that you revise these questions based on the notes I gave today in class. For the most part here are the common errors I've seen:

- improper use of the instrumental case with the verbs "to be", "to become", and "to work"
- omission of prepositions
- confusion between the prepositional and accusative case for places
- errors in verb conjugation
- improper conjugation of the second verb in a chain
- improper use of possessive pronouns
Look over your errors and make corrections. Also, be aware that our verb conjugation exam will likely be changed to the 15th and 16th as no students will be affected by AP testing on these days. Prepare for that. We will have plenty of days to review in preparation for this exam.

With this project we will concentrate on having all of the notes and content collected first before we begin building our websites. For now, concentrate on collecting information and images to help you make your websites complete.
Make sure as well that you have finished the reading of chapters one through five over the weekend. We will move through the second half of the novel starting next week.
ESL English III
For the weekend I would like for all of you to finish reading chapter four. Continue to build on what we were discussing today about life in the camp for Elie as well as how he is changing as a person. We will continue working on our research projects in class, next week.

Homework for A-Day Students: 5/1/2014
AP English III
Well kiddos, it's about time to start your dancing season (AP Exams start next week!). Looking at the list of who will be taking what it looks like most of you will be out on Monday and Friday for exams. So, the work below will be due for Wednesday, 5/7/2014. For Wednesday's class I would like for you to read George Orwell's "Shooting an Elephant." This text is available in 50 Essays or at this link. Read this piece carefully as we will spend a fair amount of time analyzing it as our final preparation for the exam on Friday. In addition we will do some work with Multiple Choice with this piece too.
For Friday, I would like to see all of you before the exam. Please come in around 7:40 am so that we can do our "This is my pen..." chant one last time before you go in to the exam.
Outside of that we will be looking at some short stories to finish our year. I'll post those next week so that you can start reading. Please make sure that you use your progress reports to get caught up. Some of you are missing assignments from absences and need to get these things settled by the middle of next week at the latest.
Russian I
To prepare for our final writing assignment I would like for you all to complete exercise nine tonight and write sixteen Russian sentences which answer the questions asked of you. Be sure that you are using a dictionary only to look up individual words. Use the structure of the question to help you to create your answer. Practice with your verb usage and check yourself using your notes. This will be collected on Monday for a grade - please complete it and see me in advance with questions.
Be sure that all of you also use your progress reports to make up any missed or missing assignments. The due date for any late work is Monday the 5th as I have to begin to prepare for final exam. Please meet this deadline.
