Homework for the Weekend - 30 January 2020 - A Day

AP Research

Today we shared our Elevator Pitch 2.0 in which we reviewed our questions, goals, methods, steps and hypotheses. I was happy to see some great work and some wonderful pitching and catching. The notes at the end for the good of the group are important as we build forward to our final PODs. We also have the content that we need to do Reflection 17, which has been posted.

See the slides for your reminders, notes, and calendar for February and March. It's time to collect, analyze, and write! Be done by Spring Break!

Russian I

I am so impressed with your skills and abilities to translate and work in Russian. Great work everyone. Monday is going to be our final day to review before the examination on Wednesday. Be sure that you have fully learned your case endings and your Chapter 1 vocabulary. Review all of your old tests and quizzes as you'll see a lot of those questions on this examination.

If you haven't finished your project, be sure that it is turned in by the end of the day on Sunday. They'll be marked as late after Sunday at midnight. Remember to have one sentence per slide and a picture that goes with the slide.


Be sure to use the slides attached as you are studying and reviewing! Have a great weekend.

Advanced Russian

Today in class was our final day to learn new content before the assessment next week. The quiz will fall on Wednesday and will cover the four main verbs of motion that we have learned (to walk, to go by transit, to carry, and to transport), the A, B, C concept and related grammar like cases and prepositions.


Over the weekend complete your practice exercises and study your cards. We'll be watching an episode of Орёл и Решка and talking about their travels - great practice for Verbs of Motion.

Homework for B-Day Classes: 12 February

AP Seminar

How appropriate that we'll be marking Valentine's Day with our TMPODs! Yay! I'm very excited to see the work that you all have done. We'll begin presentations on Thursday morning before school. You'll present privately to me in the classroom with our colleagues reflecting or preparing in the hallway.

Be ready! Remember that submissions are due to digitalportfolio.collegeboard.org by Sunday. I'll be putting your scores in this weekend as well.

Advanced Russian

For those of you who tested today in the Dell Lab, I hope that you felt confident and prepared. If you are not interested in taking the AP Examination in May, please let me know - but wait until you get your scores.

Today in class we focused on cases. Talking about coming and going to discuss our destinations and origins. The slides would be very helpful as we went over a lot of grammatical and vocabulary information. In the second part of class we used resources in class to develop our projects further so that we have all of our cities/stages written in Russian with appropriate prepositions and cases.

On Thursday we have our second quiz on Verbs of Motion. Be prepared for this. Additionally, many of you still need to present your poems. Be sure that this is done as soon as possible.

Russian I

Today in class we had two clear goals - to finish watching The Irony of Fate and to take our quiz on vocabulary skills and grammar skills focused on genitive, dative, and instrumental case jobs. I'll have the quizzes graded and returned to you by the end of the week.

There are many of you who still need to present poems for me. It would be best if you got this done on Thursday as we'll have another class day focused on writing our projects. Tonight is a good night to put your photos in your slide show. These projects will be graded next week and these are meant to prepare us for the Unit 1 Exam which is happening on Friday the 22nd of February. The Unit 1 test is going to focus on everything in Chapter 1. You'll get a study guide on Monday.

If you need to, please come in next week for extra review before the Unit Exam on Friday.
