AP Seminar
Make sure that once you are done with it that you have turned in your question generator form. This is a great way to make sure that your looking at a variety of ideas and perspectives as you start planning. As we move forward be sure that you are constantly working. It's a great chance to get ahead, keep setting goals and accomplishing them.
Next class we'll be conferencing and researching. It's time to start building the outline and annotated bibliography. Be ready to keep going forward!

There are many missing projects. Make sure that your project is presented to me (poem) and turned in to Google Classroom. I'll continue grading this week and return the tests to you on Friday.
Tonight you should all dig in to your new grammar and vocabulary. Russian III students should focus on exercises 9.5 and 9.6 to practice with new vocabulary and modal expressions. Russian II students should focus on exercise 7.1 - a general case review.
Be ready with your vocabulary. A lot of Russian II students need to go back and learn numbers. Don't forget to focus on your nouns and your adjectives!
Russian I
Today in class we reviewed the way in which possessive pronouns change (my, your, our) to relate and show genders and cases in Russian. Remember that there is a lot of alignment here between what we have seen happen with adjective endings. Hopefully a lot of things were clicking today between cases, declensions, and genders. After this we spent time working on our home floor plans. We should have finished the floor plan so that next class we are able to start writing about the rooms.
For tonight, you should have finished the four exercises assigned last week from Chapter 2. We also need to focus on vocabulary and memorizing endings. The reading - at the beginning of Chapter 2 - is a good way to do this. Take a look at how the adjectives are being used. Try to understand the main idea of the text.

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.

Homework for the Weekend - A Day Edition - 15 March 2018
Russian I
Today in class we finished the lesson that we started on Tuesday which was cut short by our late arrival to school. We have covered some review of the second conjugation pattern in Russian as well as the conjunctions "and", "but", and "and/but". Following that, we looked at some examples of these conjunctions in English and discussed their usage in Russian.
For the weekend focus on your vocabulary and your conjunctions by completing Exercise 3.8. As you work through the exercise you'll complete the sections A, Б, В. With each group, combine two sentences with the conjunction given to you for the set. Remember to reduce redundancy as you combine the sentences and to think about your verbs. Translate the sentences after you have combined them.
Advanced Russian
There are different assignments over the weekend for Russian II and III. All of us are focusing on using the dative case and new vocabulary around weather (Russian II) or foods (Russian III).
Russian III will focus on the use of the modal constructions (надо, нужен, можно, нельзя) and the way that Russian say should (должен). You'll be looking at exercise 9.5. Select one of the food items and then use your vocabulary and other grammar in the chapter to write yourself a list of things to do to make the selected food item. What are the things you need? What should you do? What shouldn't be done? What can't be done? You might find it helpful to look at Russian verbs around cooking which you can find here. There are some new stems when it comes to cooking verbs, so thankfully we use infinitives for all of these expressions we've learned (phew!).
Russian II will continue to focus on parts of speech and dative versus nominative case in making sentences describing the weather and feelings. You'll be writing sentences talking about how people feel during types of weather. How do you feel when it's cloudy? When the weather is rainy, how do you feel? What about when it's +37 outside? Use the grammar and vocabulary structures we learned today in class to write about yourself and others in various types of weather. Remember to use all numbers as words!
English IV
Next week we will have our test on Frankenstein and then move to finish the unit in the first week of Quarter 4. Today in class we did a lot of work around our essays - sharing the introduction paragraph to me - before going to class to discuss The Creature and his eventual change for the worse. We also brought in our discussion of nature and nurture to look at how these concepts interact with each other in this moment.
Over the weekend, be focused on preparing for your test. Study your plot events, look at the characters and know them well. Our test will be on Friday next week and will be the first grade of Quarter 4!
Also - next week on Monday we will cash in rubles for extra credit. After Monday I will no longer accept any missing work with the exception of quizzes and tests to make up from absence. Make sure that you have done what you need to do in order to be in a good place at the end of the quarter.

Homework for the Weekend - A Day Edition - 17 March
Today I remembered to do this before leaving work. Yay for me. Go Heels!
Advanced Russian:
We are quickly approaching the end of the quarter. If you have yet to submit your project or take/finish your Verbs of Motion exam, the time is drawing quickly to a close. Finish and settle these assignments ASAP. See me if you need help or assistance.
Russian II - Over the weekend, continue your work with new vocabulary as well as with the dative case. Complete the exercises using the dative case and weather vocabulary. This is also a good review of your counting rules as you talk about ages and temperatures. You only have to do the evens or the odds from each exercise; you do not have to do all.
Russian III - Today we started to learn about short-form adjectives which look a lot like nationalities, but are not. Practice by taking the list of adjectives I gave you and turn them into their short forms. Not all of them can create short forms, remember to draw on your notes. Once you've made your short forms, make some sentences using the adjectives in short and long form. Make sure that you can explain the difference in meaning.
Russian IV - This weekend keep reading "White Nights". Try to finish this section of the story to the conclusion of Night Two. Also, as you read, keep up with any new vocabulary you encounter - especially words that use your new word part.
Russian I:
Today in class we began to learn about adverbs and how they are formed from adjectives. Take the vocabulary sheet that I gave you and complete the front side. Then, on the back, practice writing. Take an adjective and write a sentence with the word in its adjective form and then in the adverb form. Explain the difference.
Don't forget as well, we will have a culture quiz next week on The Diamond Arm. Review your notes and feel free to rewatch the film - it's on YouTube.
English II:
Next class we will have our assessment on Oedipus the King. Make sure that you know your major characters, the plot, as well as about the different examples of irony we have seen in the story so far. You can access the play online to review portions and you can also see me on Monday for anything that you've missed.

For tonight's homework, you're going to complete exercise three on page fifty. You have ten questions which will require you to use the PREPOSITIONAL CASE in your answers. Review the way in which we change words to put them in the prepositional case and answer the ten questions. Remember to write out full answers.

Tonight you are focusing on numbers. On page 221, you will complete exercise sixteen. In this exercise you need to write out the answers to the questions that you are asked. Remember that each answer will start with the word B (At). Please write your numbers out in words so that you are able to learn this vocabulary.
Russian III
Tonight you are reading in the textbook and taking notes on the modal expressions we briefly reviewed today in class. Read over pages 366-369 and develop your knowledge on the use of modals, especially as they relate to tense and aspect. We'll review this on Monday in some detail. To help you with your knowledge of the five modals I am asking you to write one sentence with each modal. Please as you write use the new vocabulary in the chapter to help you to learn and reinforce these new words.
