We're just working, working, working as we keep building our task. Remember that you should complete your BOK Analysis and then the two reflections left for you on Google Classroom. Remember that one will focus on presentation, and one will focus on alignment in the paper. Take a look at your findings and takeaways on this assignment. Be sure to use this as you're building your Lit Review. (We'll focus on this next week).
We'll be peer editing our papers on the 24th. Be sure that you have a complete introduction, lit review, and method (as much as possible). Remember that you can write based on projections and then make edits later.

Today in class was a day to review the way in which we build complete sentences and agreement between adjectives and nouns. Remember that we're using our Chapter 1 knowledge to know what to do with nouns and our Chapter 2 knowledge to know what to do with adjectives. Keep studying and reviewing how to make these changes.
I was happy to see your improvement on the Backpack assignment. I'll have these back to you soon. Please complete your exercises this weekend - Chapter 2, Exercise 2 and 4 - Use your cases and notes to do this work. Remember to focus on learning your colors - we'll have a quiz on vocabulary next week!

Class today was a day for playing with verbs of motion to talk about traveling around Moscow. As we worked with this activitiy we were using actual Russian texts (maps) to talk about our travels. Remember our process - We use A sentences to talk about plans (What we will do.) We use B sentences to talk about going (travel to a destination in the moment). We use C sentences to talk about round trips (Today I went to the Kremlin).
Remember Russian III and IV, it's not enough to use the prefix - you need a preposition too!
Over the weekend, continue to study your cards and complete the remaining exercises. We'll have more time to work with our verbs next week. Don't forget to make corrections to your quizzes for a reassessment.

Homework for A Day Students - 12 February 2020
AP Research
Thank you for working with the substitute teacher and with Mr. Ellison today. A few reminders to guide you as you continue to work at home on your studies:
1. Be sure that you document all of your work in your PREP Folder. Especially important right now are Research Records, Records of Communication (participants/expert advisors), Task Log.
2. Complete your BOK Analysis and Reflection 17.
3. Our next major assignment will be a peer editing/revising day focused on Introduction, Lit Review, and Method. Hopefully, as you are moving through this unit, you are making decisions and finalizing these elements of your paper. I hope that you all see how the analysis assignment helps with the drafting elements.
4. We will have a round of conferences in the coming classes to check in on things.

Today in class we focused our work on our case learning with adjectives. We were using genitive case and nominative case to talk about identifying animals and to discuss either having or not having something. Remember that as we do this work it's all about agreement with the noun. Whatever gender and case the noun is in, the adjective has to match. As I said in class, we can sort of change the shape of words to fit them where they need to fit.
Continue to study and review your declension charts - both nouns and adjectives - to learn these partnerships. Tonight, you should finish the Chapter 2 exercises which were assigned last class. We'll go over those before getting back to our film on Friday!
Advanced Russian
Today in class we had a writing workshop about verbs of motion followed by a new verb (to swim). We ended our day reviewing our exercises for homework tonight as well as reviewing some of the key cases and prepositions we use in Russian to complete full ideas with travels.
For tonight, complete your exercises - follow the instructions and use the model exercise we completed today at the end of class. Continue to study your verb cards. You should know most of your conjugations by this point. I think that a lot of you should also focus on your noun case endings - they work together with the work we're doing now.

Homework for B-Day Students: 29 January 2019
Welcome to Quarter 3! Be aware that no changes will be made to Quarter 2 or Semester 1 grades at this point. It's all about what we have to come as opposed to what we have behind us. It's not too late to make some serious changes, just stay focused and make your moves!
AP Seminar
We're on to our TMPODs - today we looked at an example of a middle-scoring TMPOD in order to discuss the strengths, weaknesses, and the importance of time and organization. As you continue to collaborate, keep working together to revise, refine, and rehearse your work. Check your time. Help each other out. And don't forget to use me as a resource for whatever you may need.
Advanced Russian
Today in class we spent some time on our poetry memorization projects (see the deadline below) as well as some general tips when it comes to speaking and presenting spoken Russian. These tips are really helpful for those of us in Russian III going to UNC on Friday for the L2L Symposium.
Then, we went on to watching an episode of Орел Решка - Америка where they have traveled to Hawaii and experienced many different verbs of motion. Next class we'll finish this episode to keep us focused on using and reviewing our various verbs.
Tonight for homework you have a fill-in-the-blanks and verb choice activity. Russian II is Exercise 4 in Chapter 6, Russian III is Exercise 8 in Chapter 10. Make the proper choice based on the context and perspective of the speaker. Consider the clues in the sentence that help you to make the choice.

Today in class we nearly finished Part One of The Irony of Fate - we'll finish it next class and complete the viewing guides that we have. We'll also do more work in order to check in on our writing skills as we discuss what has happened in this ridiculous film.
Tonight you should all be focused on your poem memorizations and your homework. For the memorization remember that you must have four lines of a poem memorized for me. These presentations will be at the end of next week. Be ready by listening, speaking, practicing, and maybe writing. Sometimes writing gives us the extra muscle memory that we need to help us out.
For our grammar homework we have Exercise 9 in Chapter One. There is an A part focusing on accusative case and a B part focusing on dative case. As you work through the exercise, put the necessary words in the proper case and then translate your sentences to the best of your ability. This will really help you to clarify what the difference is between a direct and indirect object.

Homework for B-Day - 14 January 2019
Russian Students - You all have quizzes on Wednesday. Be aware of what you should do in order to prepare as well as the topics for your quizzes.
Russian I - Your quiz will focus on the use of nominative, accusative, and prepositional cases. You should be able to explain why a case is being used and how to change the ending of a word in order to show that it is in a particular case. Practicing with our exercises (1.8A and 1.8D) as well as reviewing our classwork today would be very helpful with this.
Additionally, if you are missing any work or need to redo any tests you only have this week remaining for that. I will not accept any reassessments past Friday of this week.
Advanced Russian - Your quiz will focus on our first four verbs of motion (which really means eight verbs of motion). You'll be asked to define, use, translate, and identify. Know their meaning as well as their usage. You should also be aware of how to use various cases and prepositions in order to clarify the destination or origination of an action.
Keep in mind the same note about missing projects, tests, or the desire to complete a reassessment this week.
AP Seminar
Today we turned in Annotated Bibliographies. I'll assess these this week and enter your scores in PowerSchool. Through this week, you should all be focused on developing your IRR. With your IRR, be sure that you are using your sample documents (found in Google Classroom), the rubric for the IRR (found in Google Classroom), and your groupmates. Keep in mind that there are three submissions for the IRR - we should continue to refine and develop these works as we keep going through the process. Your first submission is due on Friday.

Homework for the Weekend - 10 January - B Day
Russian I
Today in class we put pen to paper to try and write about ourselves using our cases. Some of us were really successful and I can see that others of us need to spend some time reviewing. Remember that the main job of all of the cases is to say what the word is doing in the sentence. Not really what it means. Keep in mind that you should be sure that the word is in the right case for it to have the job you want it to have.
Over the weekend, be sure that you have completed your practice exercises from the textbook. Also, know your different words of the day - practice and use these as well as the other vocabulary from Chapter One. In your textbooks, a great practice is the reading passage at the start of Chapter One. Go through this and try to find the use of prepositional and accusative cases.
Advanced Russian
Today in class we learned our first transitive verb of motion - to carry with your own power. Remember that with this verb and others like it you'll have a double accusative situation for your item and then the destination. Be sure that you're looking over your cards regularly so that you learn these new verbs thoroughly.
This weekend you have exercises focused on prefixes - Russian II should complete 62-64 focused on the по- prefix. Russian III should take a look at the exercises 86-88 and 93-95 which focus on в-, вы-, при-, у-, под-, и от-. As you get familiar with putting these prepositions on your verbs, be sure that you are also putting these verbs with logical prepositions to discuss movement and destinations.

All Russian classes will have quizzes next week on Wednesday related to our new content!
AP Seminar
Our first deadline is coming up on Monday, the AB. Be sure that you are using your group-mates as well as the various documents and supports that I have given you so far this year to complete this task. You'll submit a hard copy of your AB on Monday and then we'll start to talk about how we transform these AB's into IRR's. As always, take a look at the sample papers in Google Classroom. Can you see elements of the AB in their writing? How is the IRR different from the AB? What types of writing and structure will you need to add to the IRR so that it does what it needs to do? How is the rubric for the IRR helpful when completing the AB?
