We had another good class this week. As I set up the projector, they played a little game in which they had to guess which Latin words were taped to their backs by asking their classmates "yes" and "no" questions.
We looked at the maps and some of the historical information. We also looked at some of the pronunciation guidelines for Latin. While the language is fairly straightforward and phonetic, it does have some little quirks to remember. The long vowels (those with macrons) are pronounced differently than a long vowel in English. Also, the "v" makes the "w" sound -- something that takes a little getting used to.
They had done a wonderful job during Week 1 translating our first chapter. Again, they did well as we translated chapter 2. We've encountered singular and plural subjects that are connected to singular and plural verbs, respectively.
Assignments for Next Week:
-- Write out vocabulary words for Chapter 2
-- Exercise 2d (p. 9)
-- Read "A Roman Family"
-- Worksheets for Chapter 2 (LAB sheets)
-- Derivatives Worksheet
Have a great week!
Mrs. Prichard
