Homework for B-Day Students: 7 May 2019

AP Seminar

I hope that you all crushed it today. You walked in feeling tired, but you walked out feeling like a boss. On Thursday we'll start our concluding activities and building the bridge to AP Research. Enjoy your rest tonight - you've certainly earned it!

Advanced Russian

Today in class we had our quiz on short-form versus long-form adjectives before going to return to our song projects. I am very impressed by the work you are putting in with your projects. Be on the lookout for things you think you should know, but don't. Additionally, as you work through the lyrics, be sure to mark questions you may have. Remember that you may not yet know what the vocabulary is or the grammar is - that's part of working with living texts.

Our next checkpoint is next week where we will review any Russian II skills apparent in the song.

Tonight for homework I would recommend reading over the section of Chapter 11 which focuses on participles. Read over pages 466-474. Take notes as you are reading. Write questions. We'll go through this information on Thursday in a slow and methodical way with lots of examples to help.

Russian I

Now we have reviewed the process for forming plurals in the nominative case for all genders and all parts of speech. Last class we worked through the regular process and today we looked at irregulars. Remember that all of the irregulars are only for nouns - there are no irregular adjectives or other parts of speech.

To practice, complete exercises 3.1 and 3.2 A and Б. In these exercises you'll be working with regular and irregular plurals. Apply your notes and make your changes!
