Latin I Class Notes -- Week 8 (March 6)

Salve!

Hesterna bona schola erat!  (Follow this link to translate.)

We deviated a bit from our usual agenda and took the class to the coffee shop area on the first floor of the church.  Except for one person reading, we were the only ones there and were able to accomplish quite a bit.  (Sometimes a little change can be refreshing.)

The class took a Short Quiz on the verb endings for the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th conjugation verbs and completed a matching exercise with verbs from the first 4 chapters.  We corrected the quizzes in class so that they could see more clearly what they knew and what they didn't know.

Next week's quiz:  3rd conjugation verbs and 1st declension nouns and some translating.

We read through the next story, Chapter 17:  "Do We Stay at an Inn?" rather quickly, and I'm not confident that all of the grammar associated with that story sunk in.  For that reason, I would like the students to go over that story again.  The answer key that I mailed out last week also has the translations for each story.  Here's what I'd like them to do:

1.  Set the book and the translation of the story side by side.

2.  Read one sentence from the story, and see if you can translate it without looking at the answer key or looking up the vocabulary.

3.  Check the answer key to see how close your translation was.

4.  Do the rest of the story in the same manner, going sentence by sentence.

5.  Repeat Steps 1 - 4 until you feel confident with your ability to translate the story. 

6.  If you are diligent with this exercise, you will have no need to say, "O me miseram!"

Assignments for Next Week:

-- Go over the story from this week following the steps above.

-- Exercise 17c (numbers 1 - 12)

-- Exercise 17d (numbers 1 - 5)

Latin I Class Notes -- Week 3 (January 30)

Greetings!

I had planned on reviewing again last week and starting into the stories in the chapters of our book, Ecce Romani.  Even though we missed class last week, I felt that we were ready to start again into our stories about Cornelia, Flavia, Marcus, Sextus, Cornelius, and Aurelia. 

We began class with some online exercises that I had posted last week.  Some students mentioned that these quick word games were a little addicting.  I know that I found myself doing them over and over again trying to beat a previous score.  (And who said Latin was dusty and boring?)

I handed out a fresh syllabus for the class. 

As a class, we worked through the story, Disaster, from Chapter 13.  We have now progressed to using the imperfect (past) tense of our verbs.  Though we are a bit rusty and had some new vocabulary, the class did a great job translating.

For our homework, I'm sending out copies of the answer key.  It seems to make sense for the students to correct their own assignments and then come back to class with any questions. 

Assignments for Next Week:

-- Vocabulary Cards for all of the new vocabulary in Chapter 13

-- Exercises 13b & 13c.

-- Read Word Study (p. 101 - 103)

-- Exercise 3

--  Chapter 13 Speed Word #1

-- Chapter 13 Matching #1

-- Chapter 13 Speed Word #2

-- Chapter 13 Matching #2

Chapter 7 Slides & Translation

Last week in class, we took a vocabulary quiz and reviewed the grammar thus far in in our book.  One of the assignments for this week was to translate Chapter 7 on your own.  Below is the link to the powerpoint presentation for this chapter.  Please don't look at it until you've done your best to translate it.  We'll review it in class this next week.

Chapter 7 "Bad News"

Review Chapters 1 - 6

As we've been working through the translations of the stories for each chapter in Ecce Romani, the students have the opportunity to use their vocabulary over and over again.  This helps them to commit the words to memory.  Next week, we will have a quiz on the vocabulary.  In order to prepare, I've listed links below that they can use to review.

tabney.com has an extensive collection of exercises for every chapter.  Follow this link to the Chapter 6 practice exercises and this link for Chapters 1 - 6 vocabulary.

Quizlet has some flashcards and activities to use with this text.  Here is a vocabulary review for Chapter 6.


ProProfs also has flashcards:  Chapters 1 - 6,

You can also listen to a reading of Chapter 6 on Youtube.

Happy Reviewing!!

Chapter 1 -- Online Links and Resources

Latin teachers who have gone before me have worked hard to put together some online resources.  These resources have information about background history and culture.  Some are video explanations of the grammar.  Many are exercises, quizzes, or games.
