Russian II/III
Next class we will spend a lot of time reviewing for our exam on cases which is coming soon. You should be spending time nightly drilling and memorizing case endings and constructions which will lead you to a better understanding of Russian. To begin, make sure that your exercise packet is as complete as you can make it. We'll start by fielding questions there before we move on.
Russian I
Continue to study your phonetics and handwriting for the coming exam on the alphabet. We'll have our last day of practice on Wednesday.
English II
Using your copies of Gogol, go through the text and stay focused on finding new vocabulary words. Write the words and the definitions at the bottom of the page if you don't have your bookmarks. We'll spend some time reviewing before we move on.
AP English III
Continue your rereading and reexamination of Steinbeck. For tonight, read and annotate chapters five through eight focusing on:
- motif of person to animal and the American Dream
- the use of irony in the text (grab bag)
- the characterization of Ma and Jim Casy
- pay special attention to Jim Casy's philosophy and how Ma responds to certain elements of it.
