Homework for B-Day Classes: 12 February

AP Seminar

How appropriate that we'll be marking Valentine's Day with our TMPODs! Yay! I'm very excited to see the work that you all have done. We'll begin presentations on Thursday morning before school. You'll present privately to me in the classroom with our colleagues reflecting or preparing in the hallway.

Be ready! Remember that submissions are due to digitalportfolio.collegeboard.org by Sunday. I'll be putting your scores in this weekend as well.

Advanced Russian

For those of you who tested today in the Dell Lab, I hope that you felt confident and prepared. If you are not interested in taking the AP Examination in May, please let me know - but wait until you get your scores.

Today in class we focused on cases. Talking about coming and going to discuss our destinations and origins. The slides would be very helpful as we went over a lot of grammatical and vocabulary information. In the second part of class we used resources in class to develop our projects further so that we have all of our cities/stages written in Russian with appropriate prepositions and cases.

On Thursday we have our second quiz on Verbs of Motion. Be prepared for this. Additionally, many of you still need to present your poems. Be sure that this is done as soon as possible.

Russian I

Today in class we had two clear goals - to finish watching The Irony of Fate and to take our quiz on vocabulary skills and grammar skills focused on genitive, dative, and instrumental case jobs. I'll have the quizzes graded and returned to you by the end of the week.

There are many of you who still need to present poems for me. It would be best if you got this done on Thursday as we'll have another class day focused on writing our projects. Tonight is a good night to put your photos in your slide show. These projects will be graded next week and these are meant to prepare us for the Unit 1 Exam which is happening on Friday the 22nd of February. The Unit 1 test is going to focus on everything in Chapter 1. You'll get a study guide on Monday.

If you need to, please come in next week for extra review before the Unit Exam on Friday.
