Homework for A-Day Students / 18 February 2020

AP Research

Today was an important day. If you were absent, be sure to see me for the handouts that you missed and to see your classmates for the information as well. Our mini-lesson was geared on the Literature Review and how to create that section of the paper. Be sure to see the slides and the templates below.


Next class will be a full workday. We will also finish any conferences that we need to. There will be a drafting day on Monday. Be ready with your Intro + Lit Review and Method section ready to go!

Russian I

Today in class we worked on reviewing the differences between our nouns and our adjectives as we looked at the endings available to us as we activate cases. From there, we spent time with our poet projects. By the end of today's class you should have selected a poet and set up your slides on that poet. I hope that all of you will enjoy this quick foray into Russian literature and culture. Be careful - this is how I got started in Russian!


Tonight, be sure that you complete your exercises on Nominative, Genitive, and Prepositional Cases. Learn your colors. We'll have a quick spelling quiz next class, then on to our new grammar and our movie!

Advanced Russian

We did a lot today! We learned our final verb of motion (to run) and we also learned that Mr. Miller can't conjugate the verb after seventeen years with it. From there we took time to work on the poet culture project. Remember that these projects will be due next week.


After that, we spent time reviewing our quiz. As we did this we were focused on cases (accusative or dative) and the idea of the A, B, and C type sentences. Remember that identifying the sentence type is so important to do this work. Look for your clues in English! Tonight, check in with your new exercises and keep studying your verb cards. We'll have our second quiz on Verbs of Motion next week on Friday. It will be similar to this one we reviewed today, but will focus on newer verbs.
