Today we had our next ethical dilemma as well as our work with the DRAFT proposal form (simple really is better). I enjoyed having the opportunity to conference with you today. If we didn't talk today, then we'll talk on Friday.
Be sure that you are updating your PREP folder as we are working in this unit. Your expert adviser research should go in Weekly Work; there should also be the Planning Out the Work document that should be updated daily. Today, if we conferenced, be sure to log that in the conferences folder.
The proposal folder should also be populated. There's the DPS proposal form, copies of any questions or surveys, consent forms, and the DRAFT form.

Today in class we reviewed the way that we do conjugations for first and second type. It's an important process to learn. Be sure that you are taking a look at the process for first or second and then to learn the endings that are connected to each person.
Use the slides to remind yourself of the process. Use Duolingo to review too. I'm available for extra help if you need it. We also have exercises for practice too.
Next class we have our quiz on verb conjugation types and our city projects are due. Be ready for these assignments!

It was all about using the language today in class so that we could accomplish some key goals. It's really all about vocabulary right now - because knowing some of our key words and phrases will help us to make the choices that we need to make. Be sure that you're focused on vocabulary, declensions, and conjugations as we prepare for the assessment on Friday.
The assessment will focus on vocabulary (Everyone) and then be different for the different classes after that. Russian II will be deciding on which aspect and why. Russian III and IV will be looking at new vocabulary and declensions of those new vocabulary words.
Be sure - Russian II - that you have decided on a text for your aspect project. Also be sure to look over your exercises and your notes to review. If you have questions on exercises, I'm available outside of class.

Homework for the Weekend - A Day - 30 October
AP Research
Here are today's slides where we reviewed method. Be sure that this weekend you begin to work on your work moving forward and that you organize your PREP folder completely. Remember that there should start to be content in more of your sub-folders like PROPOSAL and CONFERENCES. Also, the Planning Out the Work log should reflect all the tasks you've completed in the first quarter.
This weekend research THREE potential Expert Advisers. These should be people you could actually contact. You can have more than one and they can be shared. Create a Google Doc in WEEKLY WORK and explain why they are a good adviser for you. Do research into the work they do.
Don't forget that you should be working on your PROPOSAL Draft daily as well as your REFLECTION for the week on today's lesson. Do a bit every day and this will get done!

Today in class we thoroughly reviewed the way in which we complete FIRST CONJUGATION and the different endings and how we use those endings to discuss who is doing what. This weekend be sure that you are practicing by completing the exercises. Read the sentence. Who is the noun? What ending do they need?
Also, remember that some verbs have to be memorized - these are the mutants. Be sure to go back and look at how we conjugated the verb TO LIVE as you do that exercise.
We'll have more time to work on our projects next class and on Wednesday. Be ready for a spelling quiz on Friday!

Today we had a class focused on exercise review in order to understand the new concepts that we are learning. The homework that you have this weekend will review those concepts. Here are some notes for each of the groups.
Russian II - We have to focus on how to pick the proper aspect. First, think about the key words that indicate a repeated action versus a one time action. Use the words in Chapter 5 (page 200-201) and the other words you see in the exercises. As you complete your exercises, be sure to pick the right verb for the situation.
Russian III and IV - Focus on learning your declensions! It helps so much to have it memorized. Consider which case is needed for the situation and which words help you to finish the task. Fill in the blanks and check yourself!

Homework will be checked on Monday for evidence of completion. Also, if you did not see one of the parts of Anna Karenina, please watch on YouTube and complete the viewing guide.

Homework for Winter Break - B Day - 20 December 2018
AP Seminar
Over our holiday break I think that it is so important that you all keep moving forward with your team work, but also begin to transition into your IRR work as well. Use the Unit Plan to know what will be assessed, when it will be assessed, and what the general process is.
On Google Classroom I've given you two packs of IRR and Scoring Commentaries. The rubric is also located with the scoring commentary. As you begin to craft and work through the IRR process be sure to use your previous work as well as all of the materials provided to us by College Board to be successful on our first performance task.
Advanced Russian
Come inside. Please. Come inside. Ask questions. Do what you need to do in order to close the gaps. Do something to make yourselves better than you were the previous days. Take advantage of what I'm giving you.
In this spirit, do what you need to do over break in order to close those gaps. I think that vocabulary is a big place to spend your time. We also have some of you missing projects. Those should be submitted as soon as possible.
Outside of this there is the Olympiada preparation (see the folder posted on Google Classroom). There is also our Chapter Preview. Chapter 6 is for Russian II and Chapter 10 is for Russian III. We are all going to be moving in to Verbs of Motion (time to talk about taking things and people and ourselves to different places)!
Russian I
Today we began our next long process which is the learning and understanding of cases in the Russian language. Cases are a way of organizing a language and explaining what job a word has in a sentence. This requires us to understand a lot of grammatical vocabulary and terms, so I'll be teaching you a lot about grammar, in general, through this unit. We are starting with the Accusative Case since it is very easy to manage and learn.
Take the paper that I gave you and complete the required exercises. Put the words in the accusative case. Make the change to the endings. Be able to translate, if you can.
Additionally, be ready for your reassessment. Go back to our slides in Google Classroom and be able to conjugate verbs and use possessives. Spend time with your vocabulary to be able to learn it. It takes time, so put it in.

Homework for A-Day Students: 24 April 2018
Russian I
Today we also spent time learning about World War 2 - but we kept our focus strictly on St. Petersburg and the siege. Hopefully you were interested by some of the cultural information we learned today. Next class you will also have a quiz - to prepare, be sure that you can do the following:
Advanced Russian
Today we spent some more time in World War 2 along with Veronika before going to some culture related to the war. Next class, after our quiz, we'll have more time to speak about culture.
As a reminder, you will have a quiz and homework check on Thursday. For Thursday be sure that you can:
English IV
As I said today in class we will not really be meeting on Thursday due to a senior meeting. So, work for our projects will be collected next week. However, it would still be a good idea to have work ready for me on Thursday. If you are missing anything from week one, that work has now become a zero. You can remove the zero by turning in the assignment.
Be sure that you read and complete your vocabulary card before we start class on Thursday. Show it to me and get it cleared before we leave for the class meeting. You can also begin on your essay revisions or finish any test corrections you may still have. The last day to turn in anything related to the Frankenstein unit will be on May 2nd.

- identify the part of speech of a word
- know the seven letter spelling rule
- identify if an ending is hard or soft
- change a word from singular to plural in the nominative case for all genders
Today's warm-up was a good idea of what you need to be able to do on the quiz on Thursday. Make sure that you also have your homework to be checked!
