AP Seminar
We have just the final few IMPOD presentations left on Thursday morning which means that on Friday we'll be going to our exam preparation. For that, we'll really work out of the AP Seminar Course and Exam Description. The most important pages in this document are the Glossary of Terms and the Sample EOC A and EOC B. I would recommend studying the terms tonight and finding those most helpful and related to the EOC A and B. We'll have a lot of fun the next few days as we are preparing.
Outside of this your work is on Digital Portfolio. Be sure that everything is uploaded and submitted following the instructions. Also be sure to import your AP Number once you get that from Ms. Oertel.

Here we go into Chapter 11. It's a fun chapter with some strange grammar goals all related to adjectives and verbs in some strange fashion. Today we started our work with this chapter by focusing on how Russians use and create words for various nationalities as well as the short-form adjective. Tonight's homework is meant to help with this new concept. Complete the translation exercise related to short-form adjectives. Use your vocabulary list to learn new words. Remember that the adjective has to agree with the noun. Have this work complete so that we can review it on Friday before having our song workshop.

We had such a productive day today learning new things! Sorry to those of you who didn't win LOTO today, but remember that we did get some good review of vocabulary done, so everyone wins. Our main goal for today was to understand the way that adverbs are formed and used in Russian. Today we looked at a lot of the basics, next class we'll look at some more complicated bits.
For tonight, you should complete our classwork. Write two additional sentence pairs using an adjective and an adverb. Remember the different procedures for using and writing with these different parts of speech. Also be aware of our quiz next week on adverbs, conjunctions, and vocabulary.

Homework for the Weekend - B Day - 4 April
One week done, only six more to go!
AP Seminar
Over the weekend there are two things to accomplish. Some of you were able to accomplish one of them today, so I guess that just leaves one thing for you. Be sure that you have navigated to Google Classroom and found the form for Workshop 1.2. This form will guide you through the second workshop on the first submission. This focused on Rows 3 and 5 of the rubric, but it will also be good to think about citations as well.
You must go to Digital Portfolio and submit your draft this weekend. Run an originality report based on your work so far. I will check behind you on Monday. The class we'll have on Monday will focus on workshopping the full draft - be prepared for this work!
Advanced Russian
At this point we have projects due or soon to be due. Russian III students should have recipe cards submitted online and be ready to play or present a spoken part on Monday. Russian II students will have their final workshop on Monday related to the weather reports. Be sure that you have a slide for each of the days and that you discuss temperature, conditions, and suggested attire.
Additionally, we have exercises based on the new content - 9.9 for Russian III / 7.8 for Russian II. Be sure that you are learning your declensions, remembering your key rules, and getting prepared for our overall examination (either the final or the AP).
Russian I
Over the weekend you should all be focused on studying and preparing for your Unit 2 examination. The exam is going to fall on Friday of next week. We'll have full classes on Monday and especially Wednesday reviewing for the exam and getting ready in the way that we can.
This weekend you should all work through exercise 2.20 - translations. These are helpful to review vocabulary as well as grammar in the lesson. You should be able to identify where to use all six cases and then put the words in the proper form. Remember to use your vocabulary lists and notes from Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 as you complete this work.
I would also suggest reading through and understanding the чтение at the beginning of Chapter 2. What is this text about? Where does it use our grammar? You'll see a similar text on the exam next week.

Homework for B-Day Classes (and reminders for AP) - 2 April 2019
AP Seminar
As one of my favorite singers says, "Well I guess that push has come to this, so I guess this must be shove..." That's where we are in AP Seminar. We should regularly be checking things off and moving forward. I hope that today's workshop was helpful in that regard.
Revise and write and craft your IWA. Be sure that you are also designing your slides. Practice your Oral Defense questions with each other. Keep moving forward and ask for the help that you may need. If you were absent today, be sure that you find a partner to complete a First Submission workshop form - available on Google Classroom.
Advanced Russian
I'll be creating the space on Google Classroom for your projects on Thursday morning. Remember that Russian III is due this week and Russian II is due next week. Follow the guidelines for your project (recipe/weather) and ask for the help you may need. Remember that we are actively working on using our language to review the skills.
Today in class we began on new information - adverbs of quantity and count versus non-count nouns for Russian II - imperatives for first and third person for Russian III. There are exercises to review these concepts. Please complete exercises in Chapter 7 and 9 as needed focused on these concepts. The list of exercises is in the slides on Google Classroom.
Russian I
Today I gave you the study guide for your Unit 2 Exam which will fall next Friday. This exam will focus on the essential skills of cases (all six - nouns and adjectives) as well as verb conjugation. It will be very similar to the Unit 1 exam with more (seeing as you didn't know about adjectives before). Be sure to use your study guide and prioritize where you need to.
Additionally, we will begin on one of our last culture projects on Thursday - the former Soviet Union. Be sure that you have selected your top FIVE former republics (Russia is not an option). Do some preliminary research. We'll be choosing and starting on Thursday after we finish Office Romance.
AP English III
Be ready for your quiz on The Grapes of Wrath and be sure that if you have your chapter presentation tomorrow that you have shared your materials with me before class begins. We will have presentations and then the quiz.

Homework for A-Day Students: 30 April 2018
English IV
Today was the beginning of our third week of our independent novel projects. Remember that since we are coming so close to the end of our year together, I have cut the fourth project from the list. For this reason, project three will count double.
Please check PowerSchool as it relates to any missing work. By this point you should have everything in for week one; most of you got started submitting work for week two today. By Friday, you should hopefully have most all of week two complete as well as some of week three.
For the week three project we are submitting a close reading of important passages from the book. Remember that you need to copy the passage (less than a page) and perform a close reading where you find: literary devices, main ideas/themes, information on characters, and vocabulary. Then, you'll write a summary of the passage as well as a description of the author's style based on the passages. All of this type of work and thinking will prepare you well for the NCFE since we have many questions related to author's style.
Continue reading and thinking! I'll see you all on Wednesday.
Advanced Russian
We are moving on to exercises as we begin to finish our last units of the year. Russian II - Focus on the exercises 7.8Б, 7.9, and 7.10. Your goal is to review the use of genitive case, the use of count versus non-count nouns, and new vocabulary that triggers the genitive case. This information will be on your reassessment on Friday - so practice and prepare. Russian III - Focus on the imperative mood in Russian through exercise 9.9. Remember the process that we worked through today as we formed imperatives.
Be sure as well that you spend time reviewing your quizzes and the notes that we took around double negation. This was a big weak point for many of you that I hope became clearer today. You'll reassess on this topic on Friday! Be ready!!!!
Russian I
Today I gave you all the study guide for your unit examination. Be prepared by studying and reviewing your work and your quizzes. Remember too that you can resubmit your quiz by Friday to earn back points on anything that you missed. For next class you should focus on completing your reading homework from last week as well as learning your irregular plurals. The information on plurals is key to the test next week! Review and be ready!!

Homework for A-Day Students - Weekend Edition - 26 April 2018
Russian I
I hope that all of you felt prepared for your quiz. I'll be grading them over the weekend and getting them back to you next week. Now we have to move on to learning our irregular plurals before we end Unit Three.
For this weekend you're doing a bit of reading and vocabulary analysis in order to brush up on your skills. Read the car advertisements from Russia's CraigsList - motolok.ru and answer the questions at the top of the page in English. Use evidence from the advertisements. At the bottom of the page there are questions on vocabulary use in the advertisements. Answer these questions in English or in Russian based on what the question asks for.
Advanced Russian
Today we also had a quiz; some of you did not finish in the allotted time, so it is important that you return tomorrow to finish your quiz. For the weekend, I would like for you to spend time with the new grammar concepts that we have to finish our units.
Russian III is focused on imperative formation from verbs - to practice, use exercises 9.9 and 9.12 to review the concept. Russian II is looking at the use of adverbs of quantity and the genitive case - for practice you have exercises 7.8Б and 7.9.
I expect that on Monday I will be able to check and see that you've made an effort to complete half of the exercises. This will help us to review the new concepts.
English IV
We did not have class today because of the senior meeting. This means that when you come to class on Monday I will need to see work for Week Two of our Independent Novel Project. Be sure that you have a reading log from the weekend, a vocabulary card, and your character chart complete. We'll take some time on Monday to review the different literary devices at play too!

Homework for A-Day: 16 April 2018
English IV
Today in class we spent most of our time finishing our essay assignments and completing work for the first novel check-in. There were many of you who did not complete the novel work, so that should be your priority for tonight. Remember that you need to show me one vocabulary card for your reading this week, a reading log of your reading for the week, project one - which is really your choice. I suggest that you complete the author study to begin.
Secondly, if you did not turn in your essay today, make sure that it is complete and a hard copy handed in by next class. I will begin grading these soon with the goal of getting them back to you so that you can resubmit them to me. Don't miss this opportunity to work on building your grade.
Next class we will spend time with our novels and have a college counselor coming to visit with some options to consider for next year.
Advanced Russian
Presentations of your projects are happening next class. Be prepared. Remember that you have an option that you can submit your presentation via recording (just have your recording ready to be played for me) or you can do it live. No matter which you do, be sure that your project work is complete for this checkpoint.
Additionally, you have some exercises to take you through the new concepts we began to learn today. Russian II is focused on words related to quantities. Work through exercises 7.9 and 7.10 - remember the rule about using genitive plural versus genitive singular. Russian III is focused on commands/imperatives. Work through exercise 9.12 for time to review the process of forming commands. Be sure that you use your textbooks as you work for reference!
Russian I
Now that we've had the chance to review the regular plural system, the main thing left for us is to take a look at the irregulars. We'll get started on that next week. For tonight, I want you focused on finishing your learning of the regular plural system. So, complete exercises four, all the way through. In this you will want to check the gender, then make the change to plural.
We'll review this next class for completion and do more with our packets to review! If you are interested in making corrections to your quiz, those are due by Friday of this week.

Homework for A-Day Students: 17 November 2015
English II
Your homework for tonight is the same that it will be for Thursday. You have your graphic novel projects due on Monday which means that you need to finish them tonight and tomorrow night. Many of you got some good work done today in class on these projects - keep that momentum going and finish it when you get home. Remember that you can turn in your work early if you finish it early and it's complete.
Please pay attention to the rubric as you are finishing this project. Your explanation of your art and how you used graphic details to add to the meaning of the work is important - make sure that you can answer this question clearly.
Russian I
For homework tonight you have reading to do in Russian. I want you to be able to identify all of the verbs in this text - you have twenty since I gave you the first one. You also want to be able to identify any cognates (words that are the same in English and in Russian) - try to be able to translate these words.
After you have read the text remember to do your Interpretive Reading work - What is the main idea of this text? What are three supporting details? Remember to do this work in English.
Russian II/III
II's - You need to complete exercise 5.2 and 5.3A - Remember to spend time using your verb list in chapter five to help you learn the different imperfective and perfective verbs. That list will be invaluable to you. I would also recommend continuing to study the examples in the textbook with the translations. The only way to understand aspect is to experience it and to work through it; try to get as much exposure as you can.
III's - You need to complete exercise 9.9, write out all of the sentences and form imperatives in the perfective of the imperfective verb in the beginning of the sentence. Focus on forming your imperatives and selecting the proper pair for the imperfective verb.
II's and III's - Make sure that you complete your cheat sheet (шпаргалка) focusing on the different grammar we've learned today. These will be very helpful as we learn and review these concepts.
