Homework for B-Day Classes: 24 September

AP Seminar

My general policy is that if we have an assessment, the only person with homework is me - and we'll keep that policy in place for today. I would ask that you review the Unit 2 Plan and consider issues or problems related to education. We'll begin in earnest next class as we review our tasks for this unit and get to work.

Remember that all summer work needs to be submitted this week if it is still not accounted for.

Advanced Russian

Please remember that when I give you homework or ask you to make things it is not to waste your time or give you busy work; it's to help you. Hopefully tonight many of you will go through and make those verb cards. If so, show them to me for some partial credit.

Tonight you have two things to accomplish for class on Wednesday. First, as it relates to the Learning Through Languages Symposium - brainstorm topics of interest related to our different areas of the world. I'll place you in teams next class, and you'll have the goal of determining your focus as a group. Be ready to contribute. Here is the link to the sample questions and topics and more information on the competition.

The second assignment is to complete some writing for me as a bridge to speaking next class. Select a few key verbs of different stems and work with them through all tenses (past, present, and future). Show that you can conjugate and show that you can work with nominative, accusative, and prepositional cases. We'll be speaking next class - so your work with this will help you to achieve great things in terms of our work on Wednesday.

Russian I

Thanks for your great work today with writing your names and getting started with your Russian cities project. We'll keep working on these city projects through the week and present them next week. For tonight, your main goal is to prepare for your quiz next class on the alphabet. You need to know all thirty-three letters and the sounds that these letters make. We'll have listening, writing, and reading on the quiz.

If you're missing any work (viewing guide, paragraph, or handwriting packet) have that turned in next class!
