Homework for the Weekend - B Day - 28 February

AP Seminar

Well, that's it when it comes to the documents! We've had a very rich few days working through our document pack to determine various themes and connections. I was very impressed with the work that you were doing in your silent discussion related to themes and connections. This weekend, it's time to put all that to work.

Your first task is to read the sample IWA and apply the rubric. What is this person's question? What's the theme? How is this person using a variety of perspectives. Read, annotate, and score.

After you've done that. It's time to plan and work. What's your question? What's your theme? What are your documents? Be sure to work through your summarizing sheet (shared earlier this week) as that will give you a good framework to move forward.

Advanced Russian

Tests are in. Projects are coming in. Scores will be seen in PowerSchool this weekend. And we are moving on. Over the weekend it is important that you finish any preparation for your poetry recitation so that we can get that settled up.

You should all work this weekend on completing your Chapter Preview and begin work on your new vocabulary in the new units. Unit 7 is for Russian II (weather and plurals) and Unit 9 is for Russian III (food and instructions).

If you felt shaky in your exam today, be sure to study and prepare for a reassessment this weekend. Once I hand back your work you will have just one week to complete a reassessment. The same will be true for your projects as well.

Russian I

Today in class we went back to square one as we went back to our idea of agreement, cases, and adjectives as well as nouns. Remember that as we do this work we will have endings for nouns and endings for adjectives. These endings work together. Keep this in mind as we continue to use these and learn them. I hope that after our guided practice today you were able to make corrections to your work related to your animals.

After that we learned the endings for the three other cases - Accusative, Dative, and Instrumental - before we practiced with them to write sentences using verbs.

Over the weekend, you should have four exercises completed in Chapter 2. These are Exercise 2, 4, 7 and 8. On Monday we'll be doing a help session with these exercises. Be ready in case you are called! You should also be focused on learning your colors for our first vocabulary quiz in this unit - Friday.
