Tuesday Reminders - A Day - 30 January

Russian I

Today we began to learn about adjectives in Russian. What they do, how they're used, and most importantly, how they are spelled. We focused our study on colors, and then moved on to some writing using those colors.

Tonight you should continue to study your vocabulary related to colors. Also, to help you learn your declension chart, work on Exercise 9 on pages 88 and 89. Only work on the sections on Locative and Genitive case. You'll be given a question, followed by an answer. You'll need to answer the question by putting the answer in the correct case.

Advanced Russian

If you did not turn in your same story three ways about going somewhere, make sure that it is turned in to me tomorrow so that I can return it with feedback next class. Today we spent time reviewing and moving forward on our quizzes related to verbs of motion. I was glad to see the improvement in the room.

For tonight, you have your project that you can start to do research for - Where will you go? Which cities? Which regions? Which city will be your focus for that phase of the journey?

You also can complete exercises. There are the printouts that go over non-prefixed verbs of motion in present and past tense for Russian II and III. Additionally, for Russian III, there is Exercise 10.8 which focuses on prefixed verbs of motion.

English IV

There is no homework for tonight. Next class we will begin working on our research projects in our small groups. I'll return your contracts and have your topics ready for you next class. We will also take a look at some of the poetry of Lord Byron - that dirty man.
