Homework for Thursday:

1) study for the quiz! Check yesterday's blog entry for the new verbs; remember that you are still responsible for the verbs you learned for the last quiz.

2) finish your rough draft of the chapter 20 translation. Leave spaces if there are constructions that are difficult for you - we will go over this on Thursday!

Today we practiced translating chapter 19 without the book and reviewed chapter 19 vocabulary. I handed quite a bit of work back. Tuesday and Thursday you will have some time to work on translations you haven't completed - if you have a large backlog you will need to do some at home!!

neco, necare
maneo, manere (with a macron)
iubeo, iubere (with a macron)
iacio, iacere
duco, ducere
peto, petere
custodio, custodire
dormio, dormire
volo, velle
nolo, nolle

Homework for Tuesday: spend at least 20 minutes on the translation of the chapter 20 story.
