As always, we covered a lot of material in class this week. The chapters aren't very long, and they teach Latin in comfortable increments. However, that means we have to move pretty quickly through each chapter. That is why we took last week to go over some of the grammar from each chapter.
I handed back the Vocabulary Quizzes. As is common, it is easier to go from Latin to English than it is to go from English to Latin.
For our beginning of class activity, I divided the class in half and had each half come up with a vocabulary list to challenge each other. Learning the Latin words is important but quite challenging.
The students were to translate the story, "Bad News" from Chapter 7 on their own as part of last week's homework. We worked our way through the story, especially noticing new grammar. We discussed nominative and accusative cases for both singular and plural words.
The homework for next week is a Review section that covers the material found in Chapters 1 - 7. They are to complete the short exercises and translate the short story.
Assignments for next week:
No Take Home Test -- Complete the Review Exercises below.
REVIEW I: CHAPTERS 1 – 7
Exercise Ia: Elements of Sentences
Exercise Ib: Nominative and Accusative
Exercise Ic: Agreement of Adjectives/Nouns
Exercise Id: Aeneas Leaves Troy
