Today we had our workday on our proposals as well as time to finish our conferences related to where we are so far. As you are working this weekend it's important to finish your DRAFT proposals. Remember that all work related to your proposals (including surveys, interview questions, consent forms) should be in your PROPOSAL FOLDER so that you can easily share with Dr. Spencer for review.
The newest reflection question is posted in Google Classroom, as are the slides. Enjoy the long weekend! Be sure that you are documenting all of the work that you are doing in your PREP folders and in the documents.
Russian I
Today in class we had an assessment on verbs and conjugation as well as a bit of vocabulary. From what I saw, I think that a lot of you need to spend time with your vocabulary lists this weekend. Make a way to study the words. Write them. Say them. Use them when you can! Try to listen to Russian music and catch these words when they're used by others. The more you use these words, the better you'll remember them.
Next week we're getting into the really difficult part of Russian grammar. It's going to require some memorization. Be sure that you are studying and reviewing every night. Remember that if you didn't finish your project today in class that it should be done ASAP and turned in on Google Classroom.
Advanced Russian
This weekend gives you a great opportunity to get working on your projects and to review anything that was difficult from the quiz we took today in class. I'll have these back to you next week - after that you can resubmit what you would like.
For the projects, remember that we have different projects for the different groups. Russian II students should find a text (I recommend a song, poem, or short story) and then analyze different examples of aspect being used. You'll pull out sentences and then analyze how aspect is being used and why. This is paired with a small artistic component. Share the text with me for points!
Russian III and IV - You get to make a presentation on any choice of Russian culture. Maybe you like science, maybe it's fashion or art or music. Whatever your interest is - that what you should explore for us. The goal is about a five minute presentation in a mixture of English and Russian.
The vocabulary for this weekend is NUMBERS! Russian II should learn from zero to twenty. Russian III should learn up to 1,000. Russian IV can go to 1,000,000. Next week we're focusing in on numbers since it's a place where we can all work together for a bit!
