Homework for the Weekend - A Day - 9 March 2018

There are only 5 A-Days until the end of Quarter 3! Make sure you're getting things done and working to finish the quarter in a strong and solid position.

English IV

Today in class we got into some very complex pieces of philosophy by John Locke and Jean Jacques Rousseau - these texts helped us to discuss what it is that makes us who we are. Is it more that we are controlled by who we are or by what happens to us? Is it a question of nature or nurture?

We then discussed how The Creature is able to show this same debate. Class ended with some more reading of The Creature with the De Lacey family as well as his eventual expulsion from their house.

Over the weekend, get focused on your missing assignments or assignments that are scored low you will want to focus on that. We have very little time left to affect and change our grades for the better. The only real work to complete is our Frankenstein project. Be sure that you are engaged and moving toward completion.

Advanced Russian

Today in class we had our unit exams. I will work to get those graded and returned to you by Thursday so that you have time to reassess on any portions that you need to. Over the weekend, you will want to complete your Chapter Previews. Russian II will want to complete a Chapter Preview on Chapter 7 - This chapter focuses on forming plurals in all cases. Russian III will want to focus on Chapter 9 - This chapter focuses on supplemental vocabulary which helps to discuss needs and desires.

Be sure that if there is anything missing from our verbs of motion unit that you have settled that up this weekend. Begin to focus on your new vocabulary in your new chapters.

Russian I

We also took a unit examination today - but for us it was more of a cumulative test on the whole year - so it was much more of a Benchmark Examination than anything else. I will have these back to you next week for any reassessments that you may want to complete.

Over the weekend you have your Chapter Preview on Chapter 3. Focus on your new vocabulary here so that you are able to move forward into the chapter effectively. Additionally, MANY of you are missing project grades and these are really pulling you down. Work to get these grades submitted to me on Monday so that your grade accurately reflects your abilities in class.
