AP Research
It was a writing day for our introductions and lit reviews today. I hope that you were able to generate content and spend time locking in some of the preliminary work - a really important task as we get ready to collect, analyze, and organize data in order to answer our questions.
Into this weekend we have several things to accomplish. First, the fifteenth reflection has been posted for you. Additionally, you should continue to update your PREP folder as you are working. Log your tasks. Note your progress. Update your communication.
Next week is the last week of the quarter. We will have a lesson from College Board on the academic paper before more time for writing. The last day of the quarter will be a peer editing workshop. I think that it will be a productive day for us all.
Russian I
Today in class we learned our fifth case declensions - the instrumental case. Remember that this case is used with the word "with" in Russian. It's used to say how the action got done, what was used to complete it, and it's also used with greetings related to holidays. We did a quick practice activity before going on to our movie.
Over the weekend you have a worksheet like our warm-up today. Look at the English sentences and determine which case would be needed. Think about the different case jobs we've learned! This is a great practice for you.
Advanced Russian
Today in class we had our reassessment on numbers, time, and also on complex sentences with который - all important skills for our exam next week. After our reassessment time we had a chance to work through the various expressions that Russians use to talk about time. I know that it's confusing, but if you try to see that each preposition has a particular job, that helps to clarify it.
I've given you a lot of exercises and guides to help you through this unit. Review and prepare this weekend for the exam. You'll have the exam on Monday and a chance to make corrections on Friday.

Homwork B Day - 10 September 2018
AP Seminar
Today in class, we focused on our sub-topic questions. Your questions were fascinating, and I can't wait to see what information you all find on your new questions. Thank you all for staying focused in the Media Center today. I know you all got some great information from Ms. Stacy, she is a wonderful resource for us, and the databases she showed will be useful to you the rest of the year (and beyond). Databases will have much more reliable sources for you, rather than just googling information. I'm sorry I didn't get around to everyone to ask your questions - I'll make sure to touch base with you next class.
For HOMEWORK: Watch these two speeches: "I Have a Dream" by Martin Luther King Jr. and "The Perils of Indifference" by Elie Wiesel. As you watch, analyze them for claim/argument and evidence. We also have a terms quiz on Wednesday - the terms will be in your glossary at end of the Course and Exam Description.
Russian II/III
We continued viewing of Moscow Doesn't Believe in Tears. I hope that you are enjoying the film (I know I did). Please continue to work on your verb cards. You'll have a quiz this week on conjugations and stems. To study, I recommend looking over your vocab cards, as wells as going over your verbs fromt the textbook. Be sure to look for mutations as well as the process of joining the endings to the stem. You should be developing your cards so that you have a good study aid for our upcoming quiz on verbs and stems.
Russian I
Continue working on your alphabet skills for homework. The shapes and sounds of the letters thatyou have learned. Keep working on that handwriting packet Mr. Miller assigned. Keep that in mind as you are working this weekend. Be able to read and write what you see in that packet. Also keep practicing with Duolingo, it's a great way to reinforce what you are learning in the classroom.
Friday will be your first day of Russian Speaking!
Mr. Miller will be back tomorrow on Tuesday, September 11th.
Have a great day everyone, we'll see you Wednesday!

Homework for A-Day Students - 12/4/2013
AP English III
Today we introduced our major project on The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn - our satire analysis websites. Below is the link to the site mock-up, remember that this is your instruction manual for the project. All required elements are here and all instructions are here. Be sure that your group follows them to the letter. To start tonight, you will want to decide which genre (Huck Finn, video, contemporary non-fiction, or image) you want to analyze for your group. We will begin working through the skills of rhetorical analysis next week so that you can begin this work in earnest.

For reading tonight you need to read the excerpt from Oluadah Equiano. Remember that this is part of the shared slave consciousness - a shared memory. Think about how this deepens your understanding of Jim and his situation as well as his character. Don't forget that for Tuesday you need to be to the end of chapter twenty-two, the end of the "Grangerford section."
Russian I
For homework tonight you need to complete exercises 124 and 125 on adjectives and agreement. Also remember that there will be a scheduled help session this Friday afternoon on verbs. Those of you struggling in Russian would do well to attend this. Additional times can be made but you have to ask.
