Today in class we had a great time getting started on our QUESTS and delving into the first major assignment of the course which is our SOURCE LIST. The slides in Google Classroom outline the requirements for the Source List assignment. Hopefully these classes have been helpful for you in setting your pathway forward.
Remember that the assignment is due by the 20th of September. Your sources should be categorized and in APA format. All that I need is a list of your categorized sources for this assignment. Remember to continue working on Reading and Task logs as you need to.
Russian I
This week we will have our first quiz and it's on the alphabet. Today in class we practiced by writing and speaking a bit - this is a great way to prepare for what we have ahead. The quiz will cover just the letters, sounds, and some basic vocabulary.
I am also collecting handwriting packets through the week. They will be late if turned in after Friday.
For tonight, be sure that you have completed your handwriting, and that you are studying your cognate words [words that are the same in English and Russian]. Next class we'll start getting into some culture!
Advanced Russian
Today in class we reviewed how to form all three tenses in Russian - past, present, and future. And that's the main goal in tonight's homework. You should write a super short story -- three sentences, each sentence using a different tense. If you're in Russian III or IV then you should have at least six sentences. Additionally, you will need to complete your verb cards.
Wednesday's class is focused on review before the quiz on Friday. Be sure that it's productive by being prepared.

Homework for Friday - 6 September - B Day
AP Literature
The main thing for the weekend is the reading of Ha Jin's "A Contract" and the beginning of your revisions. Use the notes from today's workshop to guide your revisions. Apply what we have talked about today and if you don't know what to do, let's talk. Remember that you have the next ten days to focus on this task.
Be sure that you've submitted all of your work - vocabulary cards and summer work as well. We'll keep this party moving. Ask for what you may need as we keep working.

This weekend we are really getting into our QUEST. So, it's time to develop the reading and task log. Are you finding sources? Are you developing your Body of Knowledge? Does this work help you to define variables? Terms? Get ideas for method and data points? As you work, log your work on the Reading and Planning Logs. Keep track of everything you are doing.
Begin to draft and revise your question. Are you taking it through multiple iterations? How is it changing? Why?

Homework for Wednesday - 4 September - A Day
AP Research
It's time to start the QUEST. Navigate to your PREP folders and begin working on your "Planning Log" and your "Reading Log". Document all steps that you take as you begin. Begin to consider your problem statement, gap, and question as it stands and as it develops. Try to be working with 2-4 sources per evening as we work.
Russian I
We're almost done with the alphabet! Tonight we have some more letters to practice with and sounds to learn. Be sure to review your notes daily and keep practicing with your sentences and vocabulary. We will have our first quiz on Monday and it will cover the sounds and shapes of the Russian alphabet! Your handwriting packets are also due on this day.
Advanced Russian
We now know more about the One Stem Verb System than we did before and that is incredible! Keep working and practicing with it to develop even more! You should be making your verb cards at this time (use our work in class as an example). Also, engage with the language! Take a look at Bunin's "Three Rubles" and try to find the verbs (Russian IV - Try to also find the participles! They come from verbs, so that counts!)

Homework for Day 1 - A Day (26 August)
So great to get started today with all of you! Be aware that we have things to do from the very beginning because I don't believe in wasting any time. See below for your reminders, and be sure to access Google Classroom as well!
AP Research
Today in class we started with some key processes like finding our ideas and interests and then thinking about possible problems to solve. We walked out today with the beginnings of a research question, so now we need to do our first test. What's the body of knowledge like? For tonight, as well as completing your paperwork, please find two sources that we could use to define our BoK (body of knowledge) around this topic.
Please give a full bibliographic citation as well as an overview of what this source provides and how it may help us to develop and refine our research question. We'll be using APA for this QUEST as we're looking at an issue related to education/sociology.
Russian I
We jumped right in to the alphabet today by learning the first few letters, and by learning some phrases like "my name is" and "hello". Keep practicing and reviewing. Learn those words! Use them a lot! Have fun with your Russian. Try to figure out the other letters with your cognates.
Be sure to return your paperwork to me next class and join our Google Classroom page. I put up the slides from today's class and your vocabulary. There's also a video to help with the letters. We'll keep going through the alphabet over the next several classes.
Advanced Russian
Today we delved right into the beginnings with the sounds of Russian and how they align to Russian and English. A big breakthrough was the idea of softness and how we can see this now. Then it was on to vocabulary and applying transcription. Tonight, keep focusing on the new information. Apply it to your vocabulary - learn those words.
Join the Google Classroom page to find the video on verb conjugation - we'll be really working with verbs this unit and talking about how transcription helps us understand verbs. Review that information with your guided notes sheet. And - don't forget your paperwork.
