Homework for A Day Students - Weekend - Valentine's Day - 2/14/2020

AP Research

We're just working, working, working as we keep building our task. Remember that you should complete your BOK Analysis and then the two reflections left for you on Google Classroom. Remember that one will focus on presentation, and one will focus on alignment in the paper. Take a look at your findings and takeaways on this assignment. Be sure to use this as you're building your Lit Review. (We'll focus on this next week).


We'll be peer editing our papers on the 24th. Be sure that you have a complete introduction, lit review, and method (as much as possible). Remember that you can write based on projections and then make edits later.

Today in class was a day to review the way in which we build complete sentences and agreement between adjectives and nouns. Remember that we're using our Chapter 1 knowledge to know what to do with nouns and our Chapter 2 knowledge to know what to do with adjectives. Keep studying and reviewing how to make these changes.


I was happy to see your improvement on the Backpack assignment. I'll have these back to you soon. Please complete your exercises this weekend - Chapter 2, Exercise 2 and 4 - Use your cases and notes to do this work. Remember to focus on learning your colors - we'll have a quiz on vocabulary next week!

Advanced Russian

Class today was a day for playing with verbs of motion to talk about traveling around Moscow. As we worked with this activitiy we were using actual Russian texts (maps) to talk about our travels. Remember our process - We use A sentences to talk about plans (What we will do.) We use B sentences to talk about going (travel to a destination in the moment). We use C sentences to talk about round trips (Today I went to the Kremlin).

Remember Russian III and IV, it's not enough to use the prefix - you need a preposition too!


Over the weekend, continue to study your cards and complete the remaining exercises. We'll have more time to work with our verbs next week. Don't forget to make corrections to your quizzes for a reassessment.

Homework for A Day Students - 12 February 2020

AP Research

Thank you for working with the substitute teacher and with Mr. Ellison today. A few reminders to guide you as you continue to work at home on your studies:

1. Be sure that you document all of your work in your PREP Folder. Especially important right now are Research Records, Records of Communication (participants/expert advisors), Task Log.

2. Complete your BOK Analysis and Reflection 17.

3. Our next major assignment will be a peer editing/revising day focused on Introduction, Lit Review, and Method. Hopefully, as you are moving through this unit, you are making decisions and finalizing these elements of your paper. I hope that you all see how the analysis assignment helps with the drafting elements.

4. We will have a round of conferences in the coming classes to check in on things.

Russian I

Today in class we focused our work on our case learning with adjectives. We were using genitive case and nominative case to talk about identifying animals and to discuss either having or not having something. Remember that as we do this work it's all about agreement with the noun. Whatever gender and case the noun is in, the adjective has to match. As I said in class, we can sort of change the shape of words to fit them where they need to fit.


Continue to study and review your declension charts - both nouns and adjectives - to learn these partnerships. Tonight, you should finish the Chapter 2 exercises which were assigned last class. We'll go over those before getting back to our film on Friday!

Advanced Russian

Today in class we had a writing workshop about verbs of motion followed by a new verb (to swim). We ended our day reviewing our exercises for homework tonight as well as reviewing some of the key cases and prepositions we use in Russian to complete full ideas with travels.


For tonight, complete your exercises - follow the instructions and use the model exercise we completed today at the end of class. Continue to study your verb cards. You should know most of your conjugations by this point. I think that a lot of you should also focus on your noun case endings - they work together with the work we're doing now.

Homework for the Weekend - B Day - 26 October

AP Seminar

From all the work we've done this week I'm excited to see what you all are going to present on Tuesday. Remember to submit your slides by Monday evening to Google Classroom - they'll be marked late after 6:00 PM. Be sure that you are continuing to collaborate and offer assistance this weekend as you make finishing touches to your presentations.

Advanced Russian

Today in class we spent our time looking at our aspectual pairs as well as some of our new vocabulary and grammar through conversation. I was very happy about the work that you all did and the level of engagement in the room. I also noted that many of you found yourselves to be much more comfortable doing this type of work.

As we move forward to Tuesday, continue to work on your research outline as well as your quiz preparation. The quiz will focus on vocabulary as well as grammar for all of you. Be ready by studying your topics. Remember that you can have a notecard for this quiz, but it has to be made by hand. Topics for your quiz are in the slides on Google Classroom.

Russian I

Hopefully given today's class you feel confident with using possessive pronouns in Russian to claim ownership or state ownership of items as well as agreement with gender. Be sure that over the weekend you are studying your Chapter 1 nouns, and reviewing the information in your textbook around pages 38 and 39. All of the information is also in the slides on Google Classroom. If you've missed days or are behind, I would recommend coming in on Monday to prepare and review with me.

At this point all work has been collected for Quarter 1. I'll be grading this weekend. If you have rubles or Falcon Feathers to turn in, come see me on Monday for that!
