Homework for B-Day Students - 8 April 2019

AP Seminar

Let's just remind ourselves of our goals. By the end of this week you should have a full working draft of your IWA that is approaching a finishing stage. I think that we're at the point with these documents that we can start to construct our IMP slides as well. Remember what we have seen from our high scoring samples. Remember how the slides should be used. You may find it helpful to take a small break from the paper to get to the slides.

All slides are due the same day. You'll submit your slides to Google Classroom. All IWAs are due to Digital Portfolio ASAP. Remember that once you submit the final copy, there are no more changes allowed.

Advanced Russian

Today in class we reviewed and/or learned a key topic - the use of the double negative in Russian. This can be a bit tricky - but if you remember the key rules, then you're in good shape. With this, Russian II students are finished with Unit 7 Grammar. You all should take tonight to review concepts using the handout (also available in Google Classroom). Describe the weather and use double negatives to talk about what doesn't happen in that weather.

Russian III students should use the idea of double negatives to practice more with imperatives. Write a brief story using five imperatives. Try to use different types. Make some positive, make others negative.

Also be aware that all project work is due. The last day to submit or work in class is Wednesday. Your exam will come quickly after Easter break. Be aware!

Russian I

Today in class we had time to practice with our vocabulary and a bit of grammar practice. The important thing to remember is that we have an exam coming on Friday which will cover topics from Chapter One and Two. As you're preparing - we should be memorizing. Make sure that you know your endings. Be sure that you know how to make your changes. Can we go through verbs, adjectives, nouns, and all the other words that require changing? My biggest way to prepare is to make cards - kill and drill! Memorize those endings and the process of changing.

Be sure that you've completed your exercises in Chapter Two - these are so helpful in doing this work. I can also help if you need it.

Our last day for research on our projects is Wednesday. All slideshows should be submitted by the end of class on Wednesday.
