Homework for B-Day: Wednesday 6 February

AP Seminar

From our work today in class and from the reflection data that you all sent to me, it's pretty clear where we need to be working as a group. It's time for us to talk. It's time for us to present. It's time for us to collaborate and to draft. Keep helping each other. Keep making each other better. Keep working!

Next week we'll be presenting on Tuesday and Thursday. Be sure that you have put your work in Digital Portfolio upon the conclusion of your presentation.

Advanced Russian

Today we had a wonderful class working through using and applying verbs of motion in preparation for our quiz on Tuesday. This quiz will cover verbs not yet assessed through the same process of filling in the blanks, conjugating, and applying for certain situations. Be prepared for this by completing our practice exercise as well as exercises 6.8 (II) and 10.9 (III).

On Friday we'll be having a workshop for our projects for part of class. During this time you'll be performing your poems for me. Remember that you'll be able to do your performance as many times as you need to in order to get a perfect score. Keep rehearsing and practicing your reading to prepare yourselves.

Russian I

Today in class we returned to Leningrad and began the second part of The Irony of Fate. As we watch, we are continuing to track the characters and their behaviors. Additionally, we're looking at what this film helps us to learn about relationships between men and women in the Soviet Union.

After we finished, we moved on to a writing practice where we worked together to develop sentences about the characters using our different cases. This is a good review for us since our quiz next week will have similar skills.

Next class we'll watch more of the film and work on our projects in class. We will also have our poem recitations next class. I'll call you over as you work for the poems. If it's not good enough, I'll ask you to do it again. Be prepared!
