Latin I:
Homework: 10b - only the odd numbers. The charts on pages 72-73 will help you a lot. The second form of the verb, the infinitive, is the one that indicates the conjugation number (1, 2, 3, 3 i-stem, 4). You can recognize the 3rd conjugation i-stem by the -io ending in the first person singular.
Also do 10c, but with only 3 of the verbs above. Please pick 3 verbs of DIFFERENT conjugation numbers. You will give 6 forms: the first person sing., 2nd person sing., 3rd person sing., 1st person pl., 2nd person pl., 3rd person pl. Your chart will look like the one of page 73 or the charts in the classroom.
We will have a CHAPTER TEST next Friday on chapters 9-10. I will have an outline of what to study by next Monday.
Latin II:
Homework: 25b - please use the charts and remember that some forms will have more than one answer! This should help you memorize the 4th and 5th declension endings.

1) Homework is a practice sheet to prepare for the quiz on Wed. Click here for a copy of the sheet.
2) The quiz on Wed. will focus on personal verb endings (-ō, -s, -t, -mus, -tis, -nt) and prepositions. You will need to know which prepositions require which cases to form prepositional phrases. Page 64 is a good resource.
3) Please email me with your choices (1st, 2nd, 3rd) for what to work on for the Jason project. Click here for the list of choices. Also let me know if you will be working alone or with another student (tell me who!). Here is my email: awillia3@pps.net

There is no homework for Wed. Please come to class on Wed. with the chapter 25 translation finished. It would be wise to spend some time learning the 4th and 5th declension endings.

Latin I: Homework for Friday is a worksheet to practice noun endings. Click here for a copy of the worksheet.
I have given you the GENITIVE forms of nouns, because the genitive singular tells you 2 things: 1) which declension the noun belongs to and 2) how to form the other forms. For instance, the genitive form of vox is vocis. The -is ending indicates the 3rd declension and the form tells me to change the x to a c and then add the other endings.
You are going to use the genitive forms to determine the declension of the noun (1st, 2nd or 3rd) and then you will give the nominative plural, both accusatives, both ablatives and both vocatives for each noun. Remember that the vocative is always the same as the nominative, unless the nominative ends in -us or -ius.
Latin II: Test on Friday on Chapter 24.

Latin I: Finish 9b for homework. Remember to give the prepositional phrases IN LATIN and to translate the sentences. Many of the sentences ask you to distinguish between in + a noun in the ACCUSATIVE case and in + a noun in the ABLATIVE case. The explanation and chart on pages 64-65 will help you a lot.
Latin II: We will have a test on chapter 24 on FRIDAY! You should know the vocabulary, the principal parts of verbs (there are not very many) and how to recognize and conjugate all 6 tenses.

Latin III - we are back on track! I apologize for missing so much instructional time in January. A death in the family and a bout of the flu really knocked me over.
We are working on Chapter 39, which continues to use deponent verbs and introduces place-names with/without prepositions. There is a good explanation of this in the chapter. Click here for a summary of the grammar we went over today.
On Friday, we will meet at LUNCH instead of after school. Not many students can make it after school and by 3:10 on a Friday, many of us are valdē dēfessī.
I am committed to posting some review work for you every Tuesday, so that you can go back and review forms and practice them. Bring any questions to the following Friday session, or email me directly (use the awillia3@pps.net address).
Today's review is VERBS - active voice, six tenses. Click here for a summary of forming the six tenses and a practice exercise. Click here for the answers.

Latin I: There is no homework for Wed. We will be starting chapter 9 on Wed. and you will have a short list of words to memorize. In class on Monday we practiced the use of the nominative, accusative and vocative cases, in preparation for learning the ablative case in chapter 9.
Latin II: There is no homework for Wed. We will be starting chapter 24 on Wed. It would be a good idea to start learning the vocabulary now, especially the principal parts of verbs. We reviewed the future tense in class on Monday, as well as recognizing the 4 tenses we've learned so far.
