Homework for Russian Students - Winter Break Edition

With the completion of your exams today in class we can say that you have made it. Вы все дошли до конца! Here is what you need to make sure that you are doing over break to make sure that you're ready to come back and finish the quarter/semester strong.

Russian III - Over break you should read the excerpt from Solzhenitsyn's One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich. Don't spend your time looking up every single word, but focus on learning what seem to be the most important words in the sentences or paragraphs in order to understand the gist or general meaning of the sentence/paragraph. This is also a chance for you to see how much Russian you can understand and how much grammar you see that you know.

You also will need to complete your Chapter Preview of Chapter 10 - we're skipping 9 and will come back to it later. This chapter looks at verbs of motion with prefixes. You may find it helpful to review non-prefixed verbs of motion too (Chapter 6).

Russian II - You also have the Solzhenitsyn reading to complete. Your Chapter Preview will focus on Chapter 6 - verbs of motion without prefixes. Make sure that you go through the topics and do some preliminary studying so that you are ready for this unit.

You may also want to do some final studying to prepare for any reassessments you want to do to close out the quarter/semester.

Russian I - You will need to spend time looking at the second half of Chapter One where we will learn about the last three cases in Russian (genitive, dative, instrumental). This is pages thirty-three to forty-one. You may also want to review other parts of Chapter One including verb conjugation and the other cases too. You can also continue to work on your projects over Winter Break. I placed grades in PowerSchool today for your first check-in on that project and if you had work on Google Classroom - I left you comments where I could. Some of you will need to import work on Google Classroom and let me know to update your grades.

Lastly, you should continue to study and work with your vocabulary from Chapter One. We will finish this unit very soon and you will have the complete Chapter One exam quickly once the quarter ends.
