Homework for A Day Students - 11 September

AP Research

Today in class we reviewed our test for sources - the CRAAP method. On Google Classroom I've posted the worksheet, slides, and video from our work today in class. Remember that as you are finding a variety of sources and perspectives, to use your topic/question in order to evaluate them. Remember Jenny McCarthy. The work may be good for another topic, just not yours.

Don't forget to answer your second reflection question by the end of the weekend. I'll look for them soon. You should be building your source list and developing your question at this point!

Russian I

We did so much today in class. We sang! We said funny things! We even read a map in Russian! All of this goes to show that language is one of those natural things - it's easy to pick up. Next class you will have your quiz on the alphabet. The quiz will ask you to identify letters, write in Russian, and identify basic words in Russian. After the quiz we will work on our first culture project - the regions of Moscow.

Remember that your handwriting packet is due next class. You only have to complete the exercises where you are asked to write what is given for you. Nothing else.

Advanced Russian

I think that today's independent/group studying was very effective because I saw many of you working very diligently on your verb work. This is great preparation for our quiz next class. On the quiz you'll have several verbs to work with - I'll ask that you identify the verb and work with several verbs in all tenses in Russian. After our quiz there will be time to begin on the culture projects related to Stalin's Skyscrapers.

If you're at all confused related to the one stem verb system, please see me outside of class for assistance. I've posted our study guide and slides on Google Classroom.

Homework for A-Day - 9 September 2019

AP Research

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.
