Homework for B-Day Students - Weekend Edition - 29 November

AP Seminar

We are now deeply in the woods of the IWA process. It's time to put it all together and prove your case. Remember as you are working through your sources and topics it is important to always:

  • check for alignment between the introduction and essay
  • review the rubric to ensure that you are accomplishing the goals
  • check-in with your peer reviewers
  • ask for help
On Monday we'll be back to the salt mines of drafting before we begin our Oral Defenses on Wednesday. Remember that your full IWA is due on Wednesday and it will be assessed with the rubric that you were given today.


Advanced Russian


As I said today in class everyone, we have six months left together. Your choices will determine what those months will look like. Recognize that I am here to help - but my help can really only be useful if you're putting in what you need to. With that in mind, let's look at homework for the weekend.

First, now we have our rubrics for the final visual/presentation. Be sure that you paper is shared with your full team. Then, begin to consolidate your visual (Russian II) or focus on your scripted presentation (Russian III). For the scripted presentation you should have an element of your paper to present to the judges. You should develop a list of about ten words that we will focus on next week for phonetics work. Be ready with this on Monday.

Additionally, you should finish your planning for your month/days writing assignment. Your visuals should be finished by Monday. Then we will be able to focus on finding vocabulary and writing.

Lastly, I'll have quizzes ready to return to you on Monday. You will then have the week to perform your reassessment. Study and review over the weekend to prepare, if you need to.

Russian I

In looking at PowerSchool I see that there are a few of you who are missing assignments or who need to go back and resubmit assignments to show your growth on skills. Remember that you will need to do this by December 11. Any assignments which aren't done by that point will be locked since that is the date of our unit examination.

I have given you in class several exercises which can be used to prepare for the unit exam. You'll need to be able to work with the alphabet, identify gender, talk about ownership, and conjugate a variety of verbs. Work with the exercises given today, or the ones in your textbook, in order to practice. I'm available all next week for you to get more practice or review with me.

Lastly, we have a small writing assignment going on right now. You'll be making small paragraphs using verbs about three people and yourself. Make sure that you've gone through and collected your verbs for this assignment. Next class we'll have time with computers in order to complete our work.
