for
Perfect Cursive.
Ochen' Chorosho! You are now entering your second full week of classes. I hope that the review has been a help to you so far. We want to work on perfecting our cursive writing this semester, so it is best to start now writing in cursive as much as possible.
Thank you for your energy that you bring to the class! Don't let it wane!
Let's Go to Russia!
Dr. Bonhomme and I are in the extremely early stages of planning a trip to Russia this summer. Dr. Bonhomme teaches in the history department and has been to Russia many times, not to mention that he is married to Russian and speaks Russian fluently.
If you think you would like to venture to the land of the Czars, let me know!
Bonus Points Opportunity.
For Two Bonus Points: Read the article on Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin and tell me what you think is the most interesting thing about him. If you have read Pushkin before, tell me something new that you learned from the article.
For an additional Three Bonus Points, read the two translations of the poem “Love still may be” and tell me which one you like and why. Pick a specific phrase or word that helped you make your decision.
Take your time to answer this one. Answers that seem rushed or not well thought out will not earn the maximum number of bonus points.
Your Bonus Point Deadline is September 15.
