Latin I: Quiz on Friday! Know all the vocabulary from Chapter 6 (there is a list in the packet you got on Monday). Use quia.com, make flashcards, have someone test you. . . . .  No homework for Friday.

Latin II: Quiz on Friday! Know all the vocabulary from pp.159-161, and all the principal parts you were given on Monday (link here). If you would like to work with some flashcards, stop by Room 101 on Thursday, either at lunch or after school.

Latin I: There is NO homework for Wednesday! We will finish going over the translation of chapter 6, so if you haven't finished it yet, here is your chance. You can begin to learn the chapter 6 vocabulary, as we have a QUIZ on FRIDAY on vocab.

Latin II: There is NO homework for Wednesday! We will finish going over the translation of chapter 20 on Wednesday. Please finish it if you haven't already. You should begin learning the principal parts of verbs for the quiz on Friday (we will work on this also on Wed.). I will have an activity up on quia.com ASAP for you to use.

Latin I:
Please translate the story in chapter 6 for homework over the break. It is a long story and some of the sentences are complex. If you get stuck, copy out the sentence in Latin and use these techniques:
     pause after every verb and translate what  you have so far;
     put an S over every subject (nominative case) and a DO over every direct object (accusative case). Remember that a noun in the accusative case that has a preposition before it is not a direct object, it is part of a prepositional phrase. Prepositions we have learned are: sub, in, ad, sub, e or ex, prope.
     then translate!

The Thanksgiving break would be a good time to practice any vocabulary you didn't know on the chapter test today. Vocabulary never goes away. . . . . . it just keeps showing up in subsequent chapters!

Click  here for quia.com exercises. There are vocabulary activities for chapter 6, as well as an activity to practice subjects/direct objects.

Latin II:
Please translate the story in chapter 20 for homework over the break. Pay close attention to verb tenses! Notice that the expression "licet" takes the dative: it is allowed for someone to do something.

You should be practicing the cases of Latin nouns, if that is an area of difficulty for you. I have put a new activity on quia under chapter 20: finding the subject in a Latin sentence. I will be adding different variations: finding the direct object, etc., as the week goes on.

There is no homework until the TEST next FRIDAY! Use this time to review your study guide and to learn vocabulary. REreading the stories in chapters 4 and 5 will help you with the translation part of the test. You can use the vocabulary handouts to make flashcards for yourself - find the words that are tricky to remember and put the English on one side, the Latin on the other. A few minutes (10 or less) with them every day will yield amazing results!!!

Latin II:

There is a test next Wednesday on chapters 18 & 19. Main areas to study: 3rd declension adjectives, perfect tense forms (3rd person only) and vocabulary. Click here for the vocabulary handouts for chapters 18 & 19.
