Homework for A-Day: 7 January 2020

AP Research

Today in class we watched our third POD presentation. Hopefully my opening comment of "lots of little mistakes" made sense as we discussed scoring and applied the rubric to this POD. We've finished watching for now, there will be another round in April as we prepare our own PODs.

Remember our discussion today on PREP folders. They are useful. They are needed. They are important. You should be working on updating your PREP folders daily and they should reflect where you are in your process. If you don't understand what you need to do before the second check, let's be sure to talk on Thursday.


The main goal right now is to write. You should be actively constructing your introduction. We will peer edit these next week on Wednesday. Be ready with a working draft.

Russian I

Good work today reviewing our key cases - nominative, accusative, genitive, and prepositional. It's a good time for us to review since the grammar section of the last quiz was a very difficult section for all of us. I hope that as you reflected on your work on the quiz you were able to see your mistakes and correct them.

From there we went on to our projects about ourselves. Remember that for this project you should write an answer for each question and pair that with a sentence. This is a great way for us to review our cases and learn them. I gave you some additional exercises on accusative and genitive to help you.


Don't forget to review the information on Olympiada so that I can register you. It's a fun day!

Advanced Russian

Today was a day for reviewing before our big exam next week on Monday. Russian II students presented their work and shared new words with us as we dealt a bit more with aspect. Then we worked with our particular grammar topics related to counting, numbers, aspect, time expressions, and verbal adverbs. Use these exercises to continue to prepare for your unit examination.


Next class we'll have our numbers reassessment and have some final practice work before the examination. Be ready with exercises complete to show if asked. There's also the Olympiada materials below. Take a look at the requirements for competition and let me know on Thursday if you plan to compete.
