Latin I Class Notes -- Week 3 (September 12)

Greetings!

We had a wonderful class again this week. I'm really pleased with how quickly they are picking up this foreign language and how well they are engaging in the class. They are great students!

Because the projector isn't available until about 5 minutes into class, I've had them do a short activity  to help them shift into Latin.  This week they played a short game of Charades with Latin vocabulary.  It was far too easy for them.  I'll have to go to full sentences instead of simple vocabulary terms.

We dove into Chapter 3's story about Marcus and Sextus.  This week we encountered more plural forms of nouns and verbs along with "masculine" nouns.  In Latin, as in many other languages, nouns are divided into genders:  masculine, feminine, and neuter.  

I somehow save the wrong version of the Chapter 3 Derivatives worksheet.  Attached is the correct version.  

Assignments for Next Week (note:  these are always available on your syllabus)
-- Review the story from the slide presentation
-- Fill out vocabulary worksheets (or make vocabulary cards)
-- Write out translation for Chapter 3 -- In the Garden
-- Exercise 3d & 3e (p. 16 - 17)
-- LAB worksheets for Chapter 3
-- Derivatives Worksheet for Chapter 3 -- Choose 5 words

Have a great week!
Mrs. Prichard
