Welcome to Quarter 3! Be aware that no changes will be made to Quarter 2 or Semester 1 grades at this point. It's all about what we have to come as opposed to what we have behind us. It's not too late to make some serious changes, just stay focused and make your moves!
AP Seminar
We're on to our TMPODs - today we looked at an example of a middle-scoring TMPOD in order to discuss the strengths, weaknesses, and the importance of time and organization. As you continue to collaborate, keep working together to revise, refine, and rehearse your work. Check your time. Help each other out. And don't forget to use me as a resource for whatever you may need.
Advanced Russian
Today in class we spent some time on our poetry memorization projects (see the deadline below) as well as some general tips when it comes to speaking and presenting spoken Russian. These tips are really helpful for those of us in Russian III going to UNC on Friday for the L2L Symposium.
Then, we went on to watching an episode of Орел Решка - Америка where they have traveled to Hawaii and experienced many different verbs of motion. Next class we'll finish this episode to keep us focused on using and reviewing our various verbs.
Tonight for homework you have a fill-in-the-blanks and verb choice activity. Russian II is Exercise 4 in Chapter 6, Russian III is Exercise 8 in Chapter 10. Make the proper choice based on the context and perspective of the speaker. Consider the clues in the sentence that help you to make the choice.
Russian I
Today in class we nearly finished Part One of The Irony of Fate - we'll finish it next class and complete the viewing guides that we have. We'll also do more work in order to check in on our writing skills as we discuss what has happened in this ridiculous film.
Tonight you should all be focused on your poem memorizations and your homework. For the memorization remember that you must have four lines of a poem memorized for me. These presentations will be at the end of next week. Be ready by listening, speaking, practicing, and maybe writing. Sometimes writing gives us the extra muscle memory that we need to help us out.
For our grammar homework we have Exercise 9 in Chapter One. There is an A part focusing on accusative case and a B part focusing on dative case. As you work through the exercise, put the necessary words in the proper case and then translate your sentences to the best of your ability. This will really help you to clarify what the difference is between a direct and indirect object.
