It's good for things to be back to normal. I just wanted to take a moment to remind all of you - especially Russian students - that you need to make sure your grade and assignments are in good shape now. Don't wait until the weekend because our week and quarter will end quicker than you would probably like. If there's something you need to reassess on, make sure to do that now.
Russian I
Today in class we had ample time to work on our projects. By this point you should have sentences that talk about who the person is, what they do, where they do it, what they own, what they don't own, and where they are from. By writing these sentences you are activating many of the cases in the Russian language. I will go through your projects on Wednesday morning and update grades. Make sure that your work is "turned in" on Google Classroom or shared with me so that I can see the work.
Additionally, you should keep working on Exercise 8 at the end of Chapter 1. This exercises focuses on each of the different cases. For the cases accusative, genitive, prepositional, and dative you should be able to fill in the blank with the word in parenthesis placed into the proper case and you should be able to translate the sentence. Next class we will spend time working on this exercise to review.
Advanced Russian
Today in class we spent time learning more of our verbs of motion and fully understanding the idea of multidirectional versus unidirectional motion. We have also now begun to work with verbs of motion that are transitive (they need the accusative case after the verb). We began playing with our language a bit today to see how to add prepositions and cases in order to understand the motion in the sentence. Tonight, you should continue to review these skills with exercises in our textbook.
Russian II students will want to complete exercises 6.1 and 6.3 - complete the exercise and translate to the best of your ability. Russian III will want to complete exercise 10.6 and 10.8 - again, complete and translate. You are only required to work with questions that use verbs we have studied in class - if you see a verb that we haven't looked at, then don't worry about it.
Remember that you will have a quiz on these verbs in approximately one week (on Wednesday the 17th) - these exercises provide you a good chance to practice and learn from your mistakes.
English IV
It looks like many of you were able to get some good work done related to your humor essays and for that I applaud you. Make sure that if you didn't finish this assignment today in class that you get it turned in ASAP to Mr. Bernhard. We will be finishing Twelfth Night very quickly as we move forward this week. Be reviewing your notes to prepare for our final test on this play. Also, if you see anything missing in the gradebook, this is your last chance to make up the assignments.
