AP Seminar
Remember ladies and gentlemen that you can revise your planning documents in order to improve your scores. It's important to recognize that scores are reflective of the strength of documents and work. Since this work is still in progress, you can continue to work and revise.
There are two paths that this can take - you can make changes to the IWA Planning OR you can apply these changes to the outline as you are developing that document. The IWA Outline should be a separate document. You should be copying and pasting from your Planning in order to develop your outline. Remember the work that we did today in class around building an outline. I should see a few complete sentences (argument/topic sentences) followed by bullet points listing out source material and commentary that relates the sources together and to your overall discussion.
On the Tuesday we return we'll be workshopping outlines in small groups. Have your outline in a place where you can share it with your classmates and with me.
Keep working and researching! Start writing!

Over Thanksgiving Break we are working on reviewing our skills on telling time through exercises as well as developing the drafts of our essays and collecting visuals for our graphic representation that aligns with the research. Let's go through this quickly.
Russian III Students - You have divided your essay into topics for which you have research. Now you should divide the work amongst yourselves so that you can work through the topics. Use your research. Explain what you see in these sources. Cite your information clearly. Use the language that you know and ask for my help. Share a document with me. I'll be checking in on your essay on Friday and on Sunday.
Russian II Students - Now that you have your topics, what images would go along with these topics? How will you comment on them to clearly show their connection. Find a place to collect these graphics and start to work on your commentary.
Remember everyone that you should always use the language the you know. There's no shame in being simple and there's no shame in repeating the same types of sentences. That will lead to a better product than just relying on other resources.
To focus on our new skills we have some exercises. Choose either the even or odd questions and complete - 5.15 (Russian II) or 8.11, 8.12, and 8.13 (Russian III). Be sure that you're reviewing your rules and vocabulary related to time as you do this work.
This will help you to prepare for your quiz on time language. You should review the first quiz we took and as well be able to navigate different types of time expressions including days, weeks, months, hours, minutes, prepositions, et cetera. This is also a good chance to show you know your numbers!
Russian I
Today in class we reviewed our verb conjugation process through a warm-up before going on to watching Doctor Zhivago. We were able to finish Part One and then moved on to Part Two. It would be a good idea to take a look through your viewing guide as you will have a question related to the film on your quiz next week.
Next week the majority of your quiz will be focused on verb conjugation. Be sure that you can go through the process - identify the type, expose the root, pick the proper ending, put the ending on the root. We've practiced this many times, so you should be able to do it with the verbs you see in Chapter One. Focus on the regular verbs that we have seen so far in our class work. If you need additional help, working through Duolingo as well as seeing the slides on Google Classroom are very helpful.
