Today in class we finished our first part of Office Romance and reviewed a bit around forming possession statements in Russian. Over the weekend I would suggest staying focused on your work to prepare for the final examination. I've given you all a set of exercises that review many of our main skills from this year in Russian I. These exercises are for extra credit and personal enrichment. Feel free to complete all or some, based on your needs. Points will be added to previous assignments.
On Monday we will begin watching Part Two of Office Romance since we finished with a bit of a cliffhanger. Then, we'll continue to review grammar and vocabulary points in preparation for our exam. We will also be cashing in our rubles on Monday.
Advanced Russian
Today we had our examination on Unit 7 or Unit 9 depending on your level. If you were absent, please see me ASAP to make up the examination. It should take you about an hour to complete.
Your main goal for this weekend is to complete a lot of your preparation for your final speaking assignment. On Monday we'll be participating in a workshop where we will review our work, go over some key elements of phonetics, and collaborate to prepare. We'll also watch a bit of a Russian talk show in order to understand how they operate a bit.
If you will not be in class on Wednesday due to the AP Examination, you are required to submit written work that aligns with your selected grammar points from the review sheet. This will be your grade for the project and it will be scored for grammar, vocabulary, and sentence complexity.
I'll announce exam exemptions for all Russian students on Wednesday. Please see the main office if you have documentation related to your absences as I will go off of the official absence count in PowerSchool for this class.
English IV
A few of you were able to submit your final projects today and many of you looked like with a bit more time at home or over the weekend that you would be able to finish your work with no issues. I'm really happy with how well you've been able to pull things together here at the end of the year. Here's a quick overview of the final project for those of you that need a reminder:
- Central Panel - White Paper - Write a theme for your book. Remember that themes are complete sentences that state a lesson about an idea. What is your book saying about love? Family? Loneliness? Change? Write it as a complete sentence that fills the panel.
- Inside Side Panels - Construction Paper - What has been most important to develop the theme? Is it a character? A quotation? Put one significant element on each panel and then use bullet points to explain how this develops your theme.
- Outside Side Panels - Construction Paper - What is the title of your book? What cover art helps to show the main theme or message? On the other panel - Who is the author? When were they born and died? Where did they live? What are some important moments from their life that connect to the theme?
Remember that these should come to me on Monday finished. There will not really be any time to work on Monday since we will be: reviewing the practice NCFE and commonly missed questions, cashing in rubles for extra credit, doing our gallery walk of our books and participating in our seminar.
