We had an "active" class time today. For this week's homework, the class was to translate on their own a story titled "Aeneas Leaves Troy." As part of our beginning of class activity, I gave them that story in Latin along with the translation. They then formed themselves into a little theater troupe and performed the story as narrators gave both the Latin and English versions. We had acts of brave warfare and incredible sound effects. Great job, class!
We are now on Chapter 8 of our text book. As we continue to work through these translations, some of the basics of Latin Grammar is reinforced through continual use. This week we encountered more verb endings, so that we've had all of the present tense endings for 1st, 2nd, 3rd person (singular and plural) verbs. For next week, they need to have this chart memorized:
Singular
|
Plural
| |
1st person
|
-o
|
-mus
|
2nd person
|
-s
|
-tis
|
3rd person
|
-t
|
-nt
