Homework for the Weekend - B Day Students - 22 February

AP Seminar

Wonderful work this morning delving deep into our documents as we discussed for a solid half of class. I appreciated hearing a variety of viewpoints and ideas as we were discussing and sharing. I decided that for our first foray, and since we had limited time, I'll be giving everyone a 100% for the first Socratic Seminar. For the next we will be attempting to earn all 20 points on the rubric.

At the end of class we formed our groups for our following documents. This weekend you should read all three and complete an analysis sheet for each. The one that is your groups to teach should be thoroughly read and analyzed. On Tuesday you will have time to work as a group to write your lesson plan and prepare to teach. We'll have lessons on Thursday and our final Socratic Seminar the following Monday.

Advanced Russian

Today in class we spent a solid hour speaking and using Russian to discuss various modes of transit for Russians on a daily basis. This was great work as we practiced with various verbs, prepositions, cases, and we learned a lot about culture. Then we took some time to review exercises before we wrapped our day.

Remember that all projects should be submitted by Tuesday. The exam will fall on Thursday. If you have yet to present your poem - be sure that this is ready on Tuesday. There is a space on Google Classroom to submit your projects.

We also have final exercises to complete. Russian II students should focus on the translation exercises (not the whole paragraph, just the sentences/dialogues) at the end of Chapter 6. Russian III students have a fill in the blanks exercise as well as the translations in set B.

I'm looking forward to seeing those of you competing at the Olympiada tomorrow! See you at Duke at 10:00 AM.

Russian I

Today in class we worked through our Unit 1 Test. I'll have these graded and returned to you next week. Over the weekend make sure that you have completed everything up to this point in PowerSchool. If something is missing, it needs to be turned in ASAP.

Over the weekend you should finish memorizing your poem and complete any project work (About Me). There is the Chapter Two Preview to work through as well. Skim the Chapter and review the grammar and vocabulary points. You should start to focus on the adjectives for your vocabulary.

See the note about the Olympiada for those of you competing!

Homework for the Weekend - Valentine's Day - B Day

AP Seminar

You did it! Achievement unlocked! You presented your TMPOD and we are moving on to our next task. I am very proud of the work that you all did today and the way that you all rose to the occasion. I have released the stimulus pack to you through Digital Portfolio. We will start working through this on Monday as we begin Performance Task 2. I would recommend reviewing the documents this weekend, considering any connections you may see between them, and then being ready for some focused study of these documents over the next few classes.

Don't forget to complete the Week 2 Reflection as well as submit your IRR to Digital Portfolio this weekend.

Advanced Russian

This weekend we should all be focused on project work and reviewing verbs of motion that may have been challenging to us on the quiz today. On Google Classroom you'll see slides for today which include the example slide for your project. Use this as an example of what to do as you are working.

The other project is our poetry memorization - this should be complete on Monday or Wednesday. Come in and present your poem to me aloud. If it's not good enough, I'll invite you to return.

Russian III Students need to complete reading in your textbook - pages 419 to 421 review the conditional and hypothetical in Russian. Review these pages and take notes so that we can review the concept on Monday. This is the last grammar concept before our Unit 10 examination.

Russian I

Today in class we did a lot of great writing and speaking to focus on the different cases, their sounds, and their jobs. We reviewed our film and discussed Nadya's actions through the film. From there, we spent time with our laptops working through our projects about ourselves.

This weekend you should finish the draft of your slides and writing. There should be an answer for each slide and there should be a photo. By the end of the project you should have used all six cases, a variety of verbs, and practiced with a lot of your Russian language skills. I'm available all week to review your work with you.

There are also our poem projects. Have your four lines memorized so that you can get your easy A on this assignment. You can come to me at any point next week to perform your poem.
