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!!

Latin I Class Notes -- Week 6 (October 3)

Greetings!

We had another good class this week.  Learning another language is really an exciting process.  Aristotle said, "By words the mind is winged."  Thomas Jefferson said, "To read the Latin and Greek authors in their original is a sublime luxury ... I thank on my knees him who directed my early education for having in my possession this rich source of delight."

I have the students do a fun learning activity before we start translating the story from the chapter.  This week, I broke out my Bananagrams and had them play using Latin words.  They did a good job using the letters from the game to form Latin words.

We went through the story of Chapter 6.  These stories are getting longer.  Often, I can see their eyes get big as we begin -- it seems like a monumental task to  translate take these paragraphs into English.  And yet, every week they do it.

Ecce Romani uses a Reading Method of teaching in which they learn Latin  vocabulary and grammar a bit at a time. Other methods teach via rote memory the grammar and vocabulary.  Both methods have their advantages.  I love watching the lights go on in their eyes as the grammar bits make sense.

So far, we've learned the following grammar as we've translated  our stories:

Nouns -- singular and plural; used as subjects, as dirct objects, and as objects of prepositions

Verbs -- 3rd person singular and 3rd  person plural; infinitive forms

Adjectives -- matching nouns and adjectives

Predicate nouns and adjectives

For next week, the students are to prepare for a vocabulary quiz.  If they would like some extra practice, they can go to some sites linked on the blog.

Assignments for Next Week:

-- Copy the story for Chapter 6

-- Copy the vocabulary for Chapter 6

-- Ex. 6d (p. 35)

-- Read "The Slave Market"  (p. 36 - 37)

-- LAB Worksheets

-- No Derivatives Worksheet

-- Prepare for Vocabulary Quiz

Latin I Class Notes -- Week 4 (September 19)

Greetings!

Another great class time!  I really enjoy these students.  They are engage well in the class discussions.  At the end of the day, these students still have enough energy and focus for the class.

I divided the class into two groups and had them write stories using our vocabulary and what we know so far.  They did a wonderful job and wrote stories with cows and boys falling into fish ponds.  The exercise reminded me of editing essays of younger students who don't know enough grammar to correctly write the complex sentences that they have in mind.

We worked through the story for Chapter 4.  Our grammar for this week included direct objects.  In Latin, the ending of the noun used as a direct object changes.

Assignment for Next Week:

-- Review the story for Chapter 4

-- Write out a translation for the story

-- Write out the vocabulary words for the chapter

-- Exercise 4d (p. 21)

-- Word Study I  (read p. 22 - 23)

     Exercise 1

     Exercise 2

     Exercise 3

-- No LAB pages or Derivatives worksheets

Have a great week!
