Fairmont Heights High – Russian 5

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

Level 5 is the most advanced foreign language course; therefore, students are expected to speak solely in the second language. Students engage in reading for information in order to prepare oral and written reports, as well as for literary appreciation. Grammar is reviewed and discussed in the foreign language as the students’ composition and oral work reveal their weaknesses. The students work on broad units dealing with literary, cultural or social themes. Students are to use a variety of foreign language sources of information, including films, recordings, native speakers, as well as printed matter in preparing their assignments. Contemporary problems of the foreign country as well as national problems are discussed in the foreign language. Long-range individual projects on special student-selected topics are expected. Creative writing is encouraged through such activities as producing a newspaper, poetry magazine, and storybooks for children, or term papers.
