Homework for B-Day Students - 18 December

Russian I

Today we took our first unit examination focused on verb conjugation, vocabulary knowledge, gender, and possessive pronouns. I'll have the scores entered by the end of the week. You'll have a chance after we return to resubmit the test and redo certain sections. Be focused on learning and memorizing your vocabulary! The more you use it, the more it sticks.

For tonight you have some reading in your textbook about CASES. Read over pages 31 to 37 and be able to answer the following questions:

  1. What are cases? Generally?
  2. What do cases do in a language?
  3. Which cases does Russian have?
  4. What job do these cases have in Russian?
As we move forward, we'll be focusing on one case at a time as a means of understanding how the cases work. This is all about what's going on after the verbs!

We also have our poet work. Over break you should focus on your memorization! Remember that you need to find four lines (at least) and memorize these. You'll also need to make a brief presentation about your poet.

Advanced Russian

We have a test next class on Chapter Eight (Russian III) and Chapter Five (Russian II). I've imported the scores from today's vocabulary reassessment and changed earlier grades. Remember that your Calendar and Writing Project is due next class as well. I'll expect your calendar as well as your writing assignment - at least one full paragraph. 

There is also the work on your poets to begin with. Remember that the length requirement is longer for Russian II and Russian III - see the information in Google Classroom for that.

AP Seminar

After today's class everyone has submitted a "rough version of the question" as well as their group contracts. It's now time to continue to move forward. On Thursday we'll have more time in our groups to continue researching and moving forward. As was stated in class today, the IRR (ARRRRRRRGH) is part of this process. It's important to start building that as we are moving through this process as well.
