As a reminder we will be done with the fourth quarter on 21 May which is in three classes. The 21st will be the day that you will have the option of presenting your final project for extra credit. The final project will count as a test grade. I'll have the details for you on Monday, but you already have a rough sketch of the project on your overall novel assignment sheet.
Over the weekend you should all focus on completing your close readings and your style analysis paragraphs. I saw that some of you had drafts of this work, and I was very glad to give you feedback on your work. Remember that you should complete the close readings first as that will lead you to the ideas for the writing assignment. Be sure that by the end of our workshop on Monday you have turned in your third vocabulary card, close readings and annotations, and style analysis paragraphs. Feel free to work on this over the weekend in order to get a jump on next week.
Russian II/III
Most of the Juniors in the room were out taking the AP Environmental Science examination so be sure to get the notes you missed. Thankfully, most of you have me tomorrow for English. Today we reviewed the concept of combining sentences using , что / , чтобы - as you can see these words are close, but have some clear differences. Here's some information about the concept and it's also in Chapter Nine. You might want to stay after class tomorrow or at lunch to review with me. For homework you have your translations at the end of the chapter. Complete half of them. As Kendall said today in class, focus on vocabulary. Без слов, грамматика - ничего!
Your unit examination will fall on the 17th of May. This is the last test grade before the end of the year. You will have your last project grade on the 23rd of May (LDOC) and that is our speaking assignment. Do some work this weekend to plan for your character - we'll make selections on Monday in class since we should all be together. If you need to rewatch any of Летят Журавли check it out on YouTube by searching for it with MosFilm (the production company).
Russian I
Today you had your Chapter Three examination. I'll have these graded and entered in PowerSchool as quickly as possible - likely by the end of the weekend. Make sure that if there were sections you felt unprepared for, that you immediately schedule and study for a resubmission. I will only be offering resubmissions in a small period of time.
Over the weekend you should start to prepare yourself for your final examination. You have your study guide and your textbooks which are two of the most important things to start your journey. As I said to the II/III's - focus on vocabulary!
See you all on Monday! До понеделкика!
