Homework for the Weekend - A Day - 23 March

It's the end of the quarter! Hooray! I'll have your grades finalized around noon tomorrow. Make sure that you check by then for all of your extra credit and final assignments. Here are your reminders for the weekend.

English IV

Take it easy this weekend. We had our test today on Frankenstein and I'll have those back to you next week. If you were absent today, be sure to see me next week to make this up before Spring Break.

Advanced Russian

We have vocabulary and grammar projects happening right now. This weekend you need to construct your rough drafts so that we can conference on Tuesday. For Russian II this involves three paragraphs - weather yesterday in Russia and Durham, weather today, and weather tomorrow. For Russian III this involves your ingredients list, your amounts, and your steps in Russian.

Be ready to be productive on Tuesday as we'll very quickly move to the final draft and presentation of this product.

Russian I

Over the weekend you have two exercises to complete for our homework check and review on Tuesday. You will need to complete exercise 3.6 and exercise 3.8. The first focuses on changing words into adverbs and then inserting them into sentences. The second focuses on sentence combining with the proper conjunction.

In both of the exercises, be sure that you translate the sentence that you end up with as a marker of your vocabulary knowledge as well.

Homework for Monday - 19 March - A Day

English IV

Today we had a great conversation around themes in Frankenstein and we explored some other media to help us build connections between our novel and our contemporary society. I'm happy with the work that you all put in today to talk, listen, and build on the ideas that others had.

Next class we will spend time watching Frankenstein to start finishing up the story and we will have time to work on our essays. I'll be putting in feedback on your introduction paragraphs today and tomorrow. Don't forget that you have your test on Frankenstein on Friday!

Advanced Russian

Russian II and III students have received their vocabulary and grammar project and should actively be working on this for tonight. This is all that Russian II students need to do - find your city, develop your information, remember that you're looking at the weather in Durham and in a Russian city for yesterday, today, and tomorrow. This will help you to speak in all three tenses. Russian III students should select a recipe and write out the steps and the recipe's shopping list. Use your vocabulary!

Russian III's have an additional exercise, at the end of Chapter Nine, please complete exercise number 9.6 and 9.7 focusing on modals and aspect.

Russian I

Lots of fun today playing LOTO! I'm glad you all enjoyed yourselves and had some time reviewing your new vocabulary. For tonight, you're going to do homework to turn in. Go to the sentences on page 126 and combine them using the appropriate conjunction. Write out the combined sentence and translate it. Be sure that you are doing what we did in class and thinking about your repetition and grammar.
