English IV
Over the weekend I'd like for you to get acquainted with the six topics that we'll be investigating in our research projects. This way if you find something that really interests you, you can move forward with that as your choice for topic. Remember that the options for the research project are:
- Polar Expeditions
- Galvanism
- The Philosopher's Stone
- Vivisection
- Alchemy
- Body Snatching
Just do a Google search around these terms. What was going on with this in the 1800's in England?
Advanced Russian
Today in class we started moving into learning about verbs of motion that use prefixes and thus become perfective. In order to have you practice and learn this information, I want you to do some writing this weekend. Write a basic story (4-5 sentences) about going somewhere. I want you to tell the story of going somewhere in all three tenses - future, present, past. Activate aspect and tenses as you work with this. You will also have to think about cases as well. Tell the same story but alter your language so that you cover the different tenses.
You will turn this in on Tuesday. Any evidence of translator use will cancel your grade. If you need help, see me on Monday.
Russian I
Today in class we finished watching The Irony of Fate - Part One and took our quiz on cases and nouns. Over the weekend, I want you focused on vocabulary. Go to Chapter Two in your textbooks and start to learn your colors in Russian. Notice that all of these words are adjectives. We'll start to learn about how to work with adjectives next week. Having some of the words in your head will make that run more smoothly. I would recommend making flash cards or some other sort of study aid to help you with this vocabulary.
