Back At It - 4 January - B Day Homework

Welcome back everyone! Now we begin the long march toward longer and warmer days! Remember that we still have a bit more than half of the year to go - plenty of time to make significant changes, if needed, and to see them come to fruition.

AP Seminar

Today in class we spent some time checking in with each other, doing any editing that was necessary based on our discoveries through winter break, and then we kept moving forward. Remember that your next big check-in date is on the 14th of January. On this date I'll be collecting an annotated bibliography from you about your lens/perspective. Remember to use the documents which you have already received in order to be successful. I am more than happy to offer editing or assistance as you are working.

Advanced Russian

We began new units today focused on verbs of motion in Russian. We focused on the first major verb, to go by foot, and our two related questions - Where to? Where from?

As always, begin to review and study your vocabulary now. Though we're focused in just the first verb, be able to use other vocabulary with this verb including but not limited to the prepositions and the different destinations or modes of transit you may have. For homework, we have some exercises to complete related to the new verbs. Be sure to fill in the blanks in the dialogue. Remember to think about your A, B, C actions as you look at what is happening. Be sure to also answer the questions fully as you use your verbs.

For your unit exams, you have until 1/18 to complete your reassessments. I would recommend coming over several sessions and going section by section to improve your standing. If you have edits or projects to submit, those need to be in by the 11th.

Russian I

Today we spent time with our word of the day - TO SEE - and then used that word to work with the accusative case. From there, we wandered through a few different Russian cities in order to create sentences about what we see in those various Russian cities.

For homework tonight, complete the exercise with the sentence starters. Go through the sentence and put the items that you see, write, read, receive, or whatever in the proper case (make the changes to the ends of the words as needed). Once you've finished this, go through the exercise on identifying cases in English. Mark the underlined portion with a letter N (nominative), A (accusative), or P (prepositional).

Also, you have until the 11th to turn in or resubmit any project work. You have until the 18th to see me about test corrections.
