Homework for the Weekend - A Day - 9 February 2018

Russian I

Over the weekend you should spend time finishing the work on your home plan and writing projects. Be sure that you have created rough drafts of each of your paragraphs for me. I will collect these on Tuesday and then return them to you with feedback. Remember that you are writing three sentence paragraphs about each room.

  1. Describe the room.
  2. Describe the items in the room.
  3. Tell what happens in the room. Use a verb and be sure to use prepositional case.
Advanced Russian

On Tuesday we will have our second quiz on verbs of motion. Be sure that you can navigate the use of perfective and imperfective verbs of motion as well as the various cases and prepositions connected to these verbs. Hopefully after our speaking simulation at the Belorussian Train Station you have a better understanding of how to use and conjugate verbs of motion.

Continue working on your projects as well. This will give you a lot of chances to keep studying and developing your skill with verbs of motion.

English IV

Today in class we began reading Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. It's a bit of a slow start, but once Robert Walton meets Dr. Victor Frankenstein, things will pick up quickly. Continue your reading this weekend with Letters Two and Three. As you are reading, focus on learning more about Robert Walton as a person. As you read his letters, be sure that you are underlining or highlighting important information about him. Then, in the margins, write a word or two which summarizes or simplifies this fact about him.

We'll keep talking about his character before we move on to more of Frankenstein.
