We will be having a quiz on the first day of class. Don't stress about it, this is so I can accurately assess how much you
learned in latin III. Make sure you study your verb and noun charts and
be familiar with basic vocabulary. See you Monday! --alexmarsh
Students will be completing stage 4 with the stage 4 culture quiz. Students should read the selection at the end of stage 4 as well as review the parts of the forum to adequately prepare for the quiz. Similarly, students will be beginning stage 5, so they should begin reviewing vocabulary from stage 5 to prepare for tuesday's quiz. The students will be watching a DVD in class about the city of Pompey. Completion of the worksheet which accompanies the DVD will be taken Tuesday for crustula.
Have a great weekend,
go CATS!

25% of the M.C. questions are derivative questions, finish the derivative sheets and turn them in for an additional point per completed sheet.
20% of the final grade is a translation practicum from material covered in class this semester
20% of the final grade is an open writing question using Latin from stage 38 and requiring familiarity with Roman marriage practices.
Good Luck!!!
Students will have a quiz on Friday based on the culture reading from stage 4. Afterwards students will work on translations and begin learning vocabulary for stage 5. Remember the next test will be at the end of stage 5.
Good luck!
Tomorrow students wil be quizzed on the culture reading from stage 38 -
roman weddings. Then there will be a brief review of stage 39 vocab
followed by the 2nd writing practicum. --alexmarsh
Students will warm-up with a reproduction of the subjunctive passive verb chart. From there they will begin on "Confarreatio I" for a timed written translation which will be completed at sight. Afterwards students will read the Roman Marriage rituals portion of stage 38, and, time permitting, establish a differentiation of Roman and Modern Marriage contrivances.
Hint: I will probably use a form of "facio" for the quiz
Students will begin the class with a quiz identifying first second and third person singular verb forms. From there they will complete the "in foro" translation for crustula, class will continue with board review of both the quiz and the translation highlighting key grammar points throughout. Afterwards we will begin a cumulative vocabulary review, including derivatives, to help prepare them for the quiz on Thursday.
Hint: make sure you know the "ego" and "tu" are NOT necessary to indicate 1st and 2nd person.
Students should study their subjunctive active conjugation charts. I
will be using moveo as the example verb. Extra credit will be to
provide the subjunctive passive. --alexmarsh
Students should study Stage 4 vocabulary to help them prepare for
Tuesdays quiz. For extra credit they can give me a derivative of the
latin word cera. A good choice would be ceramic. --alexmarsh
