Homework for B-Day Students: 6 March 2019

Russian I

We are getting to the point in the year where I am starting to get very worried about the ability for some of you to move on to Russian II due to a lack of skills in the language. It appears as though many of you are waiting for the language to magically click, and unfortunately, this will never happen. You must work nightly with the grammar and vocabulary. You must be able to memorize the case endings and know how the words are changed. Today there was very little engagement or apparent ability to complete the exercises. This is concerning.

Tonight you should finish the exercises if you did not already do so. They will help you to learn the ways in which the cases function and how to alter the spelling of the words to show that they are in the cases. The reading at the beginning of Chapter 2 will also help you with this.

There are many of you missing work. Be aware we have three weeks left in the quarter. On Tuesday you'll have a quiz on cases and colors. I hope that you are all prepared.

Advanced Russian

Today in class we focused on reviewing exercises and vocabulary related to key concepts before we watched our first weather report. Tonight for homework you'll be continuing to work in the spirit of these exercises. Russian III students should prepare their recipe. Make your list of groceries, investigate new verbs, and prepare your vocabulary list. Remember to use your modals where appropriate. Russian II students should write five sentences describing different weather conditions and the feelings that these spark in you. Remember - use adjectives to describe situations/things/weather and use adverbs to describe feelings.

Also, there are a lot of you missing work (projects) be sure that you have presented your poem to me and that you have turned in your slides on Google Classroom.

AP Seminar

Today because of the Tornado Drill we did not have time to conference with everyone. If I did not get to you today, please try to see me tomorrow or Friday before class so that we can have our discussion. At this point, it's all about the question and the argument. Be sure that you're collecting your sources and use your resources to help you complete your tasks. I hope that you have all set up your folder on Google Drive and that you are beginning to fill the folder with items.

Remember that it would be good to start to consider your argument/solution/answer and then the way in which you'll set up your evidence to show your line of reasoning. You'll be submitting an outline next as that is a a more logical tool for this type of assignment than an Annotated Bib.

Happy researching!
