Homework for the Weekend - B Day - 8 February

AP Seminar

Major News: Given the fact that ACT Pre-Administration will be happening during 1st Period on Tuesday we will be completing most of our TMPODs on Thursday. Due to this, I will need some groups to present before school. If you are willing/able to present before school, please let me know.

All work for this portion of the course should be submitted to Digital Portfolio by Sunday, February 17th. Remember that each person will have to submit their own IRR and the team will also have to submit their slides. I will submit your scores.

Let's use this weekend to keep preparing and practicing. Also, make sure that you've put your slides up on the projector. See how they look before you say that you're done!

Advanced Russian

Today in class we did one of our final reviews focused on simply verbs of motion. This was good work for us - working in all three tenses - before we went to the library to work on our Amazing Race projects. For this project we should have our six stages (point to point) and then focus city (or cities for Russian III). Remember to follow the guidelines - past, present, and future tense for each stage. For your focus city, be sure to identify two key sites in the city and how they need to get there. We'll have more time in class to work on this on Thursday.

The Practice AP Examination will be held for seniors on Tuesday in the Dell Lab. You'll be testing during second period so as to not miss any other classtime. Those students not testing will do some enrichment with me in class related to cases.

Those of you who need to present your poems, please see me outside of class or during class next week.

The only other thing to discuss is our quiz next week. The quiz will fall on Thursday and will cover verbs of motion (part two). The quiz will draw more on prefix work (Russian III) and with all of the verbs (Russian II). Be aware of all of our skills and exercises for practice.

Russian I

Today in class we watched a bit more of our film - The Irony of Fate - before engaging in some listening practice and then going to the library to work on our projects. Today we should have set up our slides for our project about ourselves and written some captions for about half of our slides. Hopefully this weekend you can focus on getting your photos taken that pair with this.

Remember to use your resources including your vocabulary lists for Chapter One to help you do this work. This is a great way to finish learning your vocabulary before our Unit 1 Examination.

Anyone who did not yet complete the poem recitation will have all week next week to finish this. Additionally, we have a quiz coming up on Tuesday. This quiz will focus on the three new cases - genitive, dative, and instrumental - as well as verb conjugation and vocabulary! Study and be prepared! Use your exercises and notes to help you move through everything!
