Homework for B Day Students - 18 September

Due to the two-hour delay today we did not get through everything in our classes. Be aware of this if you look at the slides from class in Google Classroom. Here are your reminders of what to do before our next class.

AP Seminar

At the end of class today we divided up Freakonomics in order to prepare for next class. Next class we'll start working through some parts of our final assessment - the End of Course examination from College Board. To prepare for our first task, Task A, I want you to go through your chapter of Freakonomics and look for the:

• claims that the chapter is making
• evidence being used to support the claim
• overall argument of the chapter

You will also want to consider the "line of reasoning" - we'll be discussing this more on Thursday.

Don't forget that you have your first major assessment coming on Monday. You'll be answering questions on Freakonomics and you'll be completing EOC Task A. Remember that if you are submitting the summer work late (questions and annotations) you need to have that in to me by Monday.

Russian II/III

Today we reviewed the formation of the future tense as well as the declensions for accusative and prepositional case. Next class we'll apply many of these notes to our writing and speaking activity. Tonight, you should spend your time preparing for your assessment on Monday. Take a look at Exercise 8Г at the end of Chapter Four. This exercise identifies verbs and stems. Work with these - understand what the stem is telling you and the process of conjugation. That will be your major task on Monday. Make sure that you have your cards complete.

Russian I

We finished learning the alphabet today! Hooray! Now you can complete your handwriting packet as we get ready for our first quiz on the alphabet. You need to be sure that you know all 33 letters and the sounds that they make. We'll continue to play and practice with words and sounds as we review and prepare for the quiz. I would like to collect your handwriting packets from you on Thursday, but if you need to finish over the weekend, that's fine too. If you're having trouble with the alphabet, I would suggest that you listen to the alphabet song several times or find another good video to review. So much of this is auditory, so just looking at the letters won't help too much.


As always, come and see me if you need any help or assistance! See you Thursday!
