Homework for B-Day Students: Monday 18 February

AP Seminar

Today we began the work of moving through Performance Task 2 - The IWA and IMPOD. We spent time in class reviewing the components, the instructions, and the general outline of the task. From there, we went on to looking at two of our documents - both in verse. I've attached the slides from today's work in Google Classroom so that you have them as a record.

Tonight, you should go to Digital Portfolio and double check your final submission of your IRR. Additionally, you should find the Stimulus Pack - released to you via Digital Portfolio - and complete the reading and annotating of Dr. King's "Letter from a Birmingham City Jail". As you read, consider the connections that you can build between these three texts as well as the way in which King builds and supports his argument.

Advanced Russian

Today in class we had a split day. Russian II students focused on reviewing their knowledge on verbs of motion and related constructions (including cases). Russian III students learned new information connected to conditional and hypothetical situations. We worked through exercises which need to be completed tonight (Russian II - 6.11 / Russian III - 10.13) in order to practice with the concepts.

Additionally, you should all be finishing your project work (poems or Amazing Race) in advance of our due dates. All project work should be done by Tuesday of next week. The Unit Examination will follow shortly after that. You have all week to come in and make corrections to your quizzes in the spirit of resubmission.

Lastly, as I said in class - you should be at the point where you have most of your verbs memorized. It's time to start taking off the training wheels.

Russian I

Today in class I returned our most recent quiz on cases before we spent time going through our Russian Mad Libs to practice writing with a variety of cases. In our activity today we touched on and used all six cases. Hopefully this was a great practice for you all in making your case declensions and creating some goofy Russian sentences. If you would like to correct your most recent quiz, please see me during lunch or before school.

Tonight, you should all be focused on your project work. Many of you still have to perform your four lines of poetry to me and we all have our About Me projects due on Friday. There is space on Google Classroom to turn in your project slides. You can also come in outside of class to check your work with me.

Over this week we should be finishing our preparation on Unit 1 in advance of the examination on Tuesday. You have your study guide and your textbook and access to me as you need me. Be sure that you're preparing well!
