Homework for B Day Students - 7 November

AP Seminar

Now we've done the task that starts the rest of our work - our research question. For tonight's homework, you should be focused on writing your first draft research question and then explaining its connection to your chosen document. As you write your question, try to be as specific as you possibly can be. If you need to do more research, then do so! I'd much rather read question 1.5 than 1.0. Remember that this is your process and your QUEST.

We'll be in the library all class on Friday developing our questions and delving forward into source material.

Advanced Russian

Today we spent time in class reviewing exercises before going to the media center to work on our essay abstracts. I'll be checking them on Friday morning, so be sure that they're done. As you're working, avoid the temptation to use translators. You need to be sure that all of the work you show is yours and that you have full ownership of it.

For tonight we need to finish the exercise we began in class (Russian II) in the same way we did today. What's the tense and aspect? Why? Which verb are we going to use? Be sure to use the verb list on 202 and 203 to help you make your choices.

Russian III will be writing using the time expressions. Write about your day, use the four time expressions we reviewed today in class. Be sure to consider what you are saying and how you need to say it. Refer back to our exercise today as well as our notes.

Russian I

Today we had a solid day today reviewing all that we know about determining gender, agreeing with possessive words, and even tip-toeing into verb conjugation work. Tonight, I want you to continue this practice by looking at Exercise 1.4. You'll be focused on numbers one through eight. Look at how the verb has been conjugated, determine the type of verb it is, then use your notes to make the changes that you need to make. This is an exercise in just conjugating verbs. Be ready!

Be sure that you're also studying your vocabulary for Chapter One. You should be looking at your nouns and verbs in Chapter One.
