AP Seminar
I enjoyed seeing you all collaborate today to create your lesson plans. Be sure that before our next class (Thursday) you have turned in your lesson plan and that you have shared with me any materials. If you need me to make copies, please tell me.
Once we've finished going through the final three documents it'll be time to start consolidating your work and considering your question. Remember, just like the TMPOD, you'll want to revise and refine your question as you research and work. By the end of this week, you should complete the final summary document (given in class today). Also, if you've missed class, please be aware of what you have missed. See Google Classroom or a classmate to get caught up.
Next week we begin with our IWA work! Be ready!
Advanced Russian
Today was the cherry on top of the ice cream sundae called verbs of motion. We completed final exercises and translations, reviewed the importance of perspective when it comes to speakers, and we reviewed many of our conjugations. I also gave out and reviewed the study guide for the exam.
Your examination is Thursday. You should have all projects completed this week and submitted to be scored. Addtionally, if there is anything that you want to resubmit, it is time to do that now. Resubmissions will not be accepted past this week.

Today we began on adjectives. Adjectives are just like nouns - they have gender and they have cases. Remember the key idea of agreement! Adjectives and nouns must agree in case and gender - remember, we can't separate red from t-shirt (it's just one thing). For tonight, to practice with adjectives and endings in nominative, genitive, and prepositional case we have exercises 2.2 and 2.4. Practice with your endings and try to get these memorized.
Like I said, we are basically reviewing all of Unit 1 as we go through Unit 2. This will be a faster unit, but for those of you who are a bit unsure of your skills from Unit 1 - know that you'll have a lot of opportunities to improve. That being said, be sure that you have reassessed your test from Unit 1 within the next two weeks!

Homework for B-Day Students: 2 Hour Delay Day - 20 February
AP Seminar
Lots of changes to the Unit Plan and homework plan since I made a massive mistake in taking us through the unit. Here are the recaps for you.
Tonight - You should watch the TEDTalk and use the form I gave you in class to formalize and finish your annotations. Be sure to take notes as you watch as well. We will be having a Socratic Seminar on Friday in which we pull together major ideas between the four documents that we will have studied by Friday's class.
I'll also be forming you into your groups for the final three documents to teach the class. You'll be taking the class through your document on Tuesday!
We'll be finalizing our work with the documents and moving on to the work on the IWA very soon. Be ready to finish our first round of document study next week!
Advanced Russian and Russian I
Today most of class was devoted to a project workshop. If your project is complete it should be turned in to the space on Google Classroom. Additionally, the poems should also be presented this week. If you have not yet completed your poem; it is time to finish your memorization and get it settled up. We will have exams coming very soon to wrap up our units.
Advanced Russian
Be sure that you have finished your exercises related to verbs of motion (Russian II) as well as the work related to conditionals and hypotheticals (Russian III). Friday will be one of our wrap-up and review days as we engage in actual tasks which will help us to prepare for the exam next week. Your Unit 6/Unit 10 examination will fall on Thursday.
A good way to prepare is to correct your quiz. This work should be done by Friday.

If you are in need of extra credit for Unit 1, then your questions at the end of Chapter 1 are the best place for you to earn that credit. There are over twenty questions at the end of the Chapter 1 Exercises which you can answer for one half point of extra credit per answer. These questions are found on page fifty-six. The questions must be answered in a complete sentence and they must be done by hand. Any evidence of translator help will invalidate the whole response.
Your examination on Unit 1 is on Friday. Extra Credit will be accepted before the examination begins or on Monday (at the latest).

Homework for B-Day Students: Monday 18 February
AP Seminar
Today we began the work of moving through Performance Task 2 - The IWA and IMPOD. We spent time in class reviewing the components, the instructions, and the general outline of the task. From there, we went on to looking at two of our documents - both in verse. I've attached the slides from today's work in Google Classroom so that you have them as a record.
Tonight, you should go to Digital Portfolio and double check your final submission of your IRR. Additionally, you should find the Stimulus Pack - released to you via Digital Portfolio - and complete the reading and annotating of Dr. King's "Letter from a Birmingham City Jail". As you read, consider the connections that you can build between these three texts as well as the way in which King builds and supports his argument.
Advanced Russian
Today in class we had a split day. Russian II students focused on reviewing their knowledge on verbs of motion and related constructions (including cases). Russian III students learned new information connected to conditional and hypothetical situations. We worked through exercises which need to be completed tonight (Russian II - 6.11 / Russian III - 10.13) in order to practice with the concepts.
Additionally, you should all be finishing your project work (poems or Amazing Race) in advance of our due dates. All project work should be done by Tuesday of next week. The Unit Examination will follow shortly after that. You have all week to come in and make corrections to your quizzes in the spirit of resubmission.
Lastly, as I said in class - you should be at the point where you have most of your verbs memorized. It's time to start taking off the training wheels.
Russian I
Today in class I returned our most recent quiz on cases before we spent time going through our Russian Mad Libs to practice writing with a variety of cases. In our activity today we touched on and used all six cases. Hopefully this was a great practice for you all in making your case declensions and creating some goofy Russian sentences. If you would like to correct your most recent quiz, please see me during lunch or before school.
Tonight, you should all be focused on your project work. Many of you still have to perform your four lines of poetry to me and we all have our About Me projects due on Friday. There is space on Google Classroom to turn in your project slides. You can also come in outside of class to check your work with me.
Over this week we should be finishing our preparation on Unit 1 in advance of the examination on Tuesday. You have your study guide and your textbook and access to me as you need me. Be sure that you're preparing well!

Homework for the Weekend - A Day - 15 February
English IV
There is no real homework for you all to complete for me this weekend. If you have missed class and see missing scores in PowerSchool or your progress reports then be sure that you have finished up on that work and gotten it in to me.
Advanced Russian
Very good work today with your presentations on The Amazing Race - Russia. I think that all of you did a good job of clearly expressing yourselves as you spoke about your cities. Make sure that you've done any finishing touches to your project and submitted it via Google Classroom by the end of the day today or tomorrow. I'll grade them and return them this weekend.
You should all continue working on the exercises we began in class. Russian II students should consider verbs of motion and related words and cases - remember that everything depends on the point of view of the speaker. Russian III students should focus on the idea of hypothetical and conditional mood - be sure that you can identify and translate.
Russian I
After yesterday's difficult class I was happy to see you all come in and get to work today. I think that we had a few good breakthroughs related to class and what we can do to improve. For the weekend, be sure that you've finished your projects. Use your notes and charts to help you check your writing and make sure that you are using the appropriate noun and adjective endings for what you want to say.
You should also spend time this weekend working on the Chapter Two vocabulary. Here is a link to an audio file that has the words said by a Russian. Use that to help you with your pronunciation! We'll have a spelling quiz on Friday!
