Today in class we spent time conferencing, editing, revising, writing, and designing. I love when we get stuff done. This is very much what class will look like on Friday and Tuesday as well. Remember that we are in our final classes for preparation. On Tuesday I want to see you all running through your slides, seeing them on the board, and interacting with an audience. Practice makes perfect!
Keep in mind our due date of the 21st for all materials. Presentations will run on Monday the 22nd and Wednesday the 24th. If you choose to present before school you must bring your own audience.
Advanced Russian
Today was a day for submitting and reviewing (Russian II) or for learning some new concepts (Russian III) at this point, all projects should be in. Projects not turned in will be subject to a small late penalty.
For tonight, be sure that you're preparing for your final examination on this unit. We spent a bit of time going over the topics today. I think the most difficult topics are imperatives (Russian III) and double negation (Russian II) spend your time here. Know your procedures for navigating these areas.
There are additional exercises if you would like the practice - take a look at your translations at the end of the lesson as well as the reading and dialogues at the beginning. Your examination will fall on the 22nd. We'll have Friday and Tuesday for practice and preparation.
Russian I
Today was our final guided study day related to grammar, cases, and Russian linguistics. We spent some great time in class discussing verb conjugation and case declensions. Important skills as we think about our examination that we have on Friday. If you were able to do today's work easily then I think you're in good shape - if not, you will need to focus and study in order to memorize the concepts that you are feeling weak on. There are translations at the end of the chapter and you can also focus on learning your charts and endings. The essential skills for this examination are:
- verb conjugation (also from unit one)
- case declensions (we did nouns in unit one, now we can do adjectives, possessive and subject pronouns)
- knowing the jobs of each case
- knowing vocabulary meanings - translating from Russian to English
- culture around Russian houses and family life
We also finished our Soviet Republics work today. All projects should be uploaded on Google Classroom to be scored. We'll have our culture day on Tuesday where we learn about and share information on the Soviet Union!
