You have no homework for Tuesday but your final draft of the translation of the Chapter 19 story is due on Thursday, Nov. 21.

There will be a verb quiz on Nov. 21 on these verbs:

parō, parāre
intrō, intrāre
habeō, habēre
timeō, timuī
mittō, mittere
trahō, trahere
audiō, audīre
sum, esse

You will need to know the 4 principal parts (timeō only has 3) and the translation of the infinitive. I will give you the first principal part (the one ending in -o).
These verbs are part of the list for Unit Three.

Your homework for Monday is to finish the ROUGH DRAFT of the translation of "Settling In", the story in chapter 19. The final draft will be due Thursday, Nov. 21, and will be considered an "assignment" (worth more points).

Please come back to this post, as I will be adding review exercises! If you are looking for more review, remember to scroll down through previous posts, as most of them contain review exercises. Today I will be adding more noun/adjective declension practice, as well as some verb practice.

Noun/declension practice:

Decline māter pulchra, mātris pulchrae, beautiful mother;  canis incolumis, canis incolumis, unhurt dog; and omne vehiculum, omnis vehiculī, every vehicle/all vehicles. For the answers, click here.


Verb Practice:

Give the tense and a translation for each verb. Choose from present tense, imperfect tense and perfect tense:

1. erant                             2. parāvit

3. possum                        4. ambulābās

5. dormiēbāmus               6. timent

7. habuērunt                    8. habēbam

9. dormīvit                    10. poterātis

For the answers, click here.

You have no homework for Thursday. I strongly urge you to practice adjective/noun declensions if you had any trouble at all on the test!

Try declining servus fortis, servī fortis (masc.) and omne silentium, omnis silentiī (neuter). When you've finished, check your work by clicking here.

Please read through pages 150-151 before next Tuesday. You will see an introduction to the Perfect Tense of verbs. Take some notes, using the three headings: Present Tense, Imperfect Tense and Perfect Tense. Put some information under each heading. What is similar and different among the three tenses?

Practice verb conjugations, if this is a weak area for you!

conjugate in the PRESENT tense:
amo, amare,  timeo, timere (2nd) and curro, currere (3rd)

conjugate in the IMPERFECT tense:
rideo, ridere (2nd), scribo, scribere (3rd) and audio, audire

TEST tomorrow!

II - 7 Kings of Rome: Sources

this is fun: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmlHu0blCyE

Here is one of the main sources I used for the packets about the kings:
http://dante.udallas.edu/hutchison/Seven_kings/seven_kings_index.htm

The other go-to site is this one:

I also think wikipedia is a useful source for this subject.

Your homework for Tuesday (Monday we are on a Friday schedule) is to finish the translation of the chapter 18 story.

The Unit Two chapter test will be held on Thursday, Nov. 7, covering chapters 17 & 18. Check the Learning Targets for Unit Two for a full list of what you will be expected to know.

Your 7 Kings of Rome project is due on Tuesday. I know we've had lots of interruptions - if you're not able to complete the project by Tuesday, please be ready to show me your progress so far and a final date when you'll have it done (not later than Nov. 14, please).
