Warm-up
- Textbook p. 59, Exercise E #1-4
Pater Noster
Nota Bene
- Portfolio Check on Friday
- Make sure that you update your
cover sheet.
- Complete 4 choices.
- I added a couple of choices to
the list.
·
I’m noticing that for some people trouble with
vocabulary is slowing comprehension/translation.
o This
difficulty is only going to increase as we learn more new words (which we do
basically every day).
·
Make sure that you are studying Latin vocabulary
for at least 5 minutes every day.
o When
you come across a word in class/reading/homework that you do not know, make a
note of that and be careful to study that word in addition to Stage Vocabulary
Checklists.
Charades: Who am I?
- The class will be divided into
two groups to play charades.
- Each person will come to the
front of the room, draw a piece of paper with a character from our stories
on it, and then act out that character and what he/she does.
Latin Phrase of the Day
- tabula rasa
- literally “scraped tablet”
- tabula = wax tablet
- it refers to the Roman practice
of scraping the wax off the tablet to get a clean writing surface.
- blank slate
·
sine cera
o “without wax”
o When
a sculpture was cracked, some people would try to hide it by filling/covering
the crack with wax. It became such a problem that art dealers started
labeling their statues “sine cera” to indicate that they were genuinely
good quality.
·
This is where we get the English word “sincere”
Legimus - “Hermogenes” p. 57
- Last class:
- In the Stories section of your
portfolio, write a couple of sentences predicting what will happen when
Caecilius takes Hermogenes to court.
- Share with your table groups.
Legimus - “In Basilica” p. 58
·
Follow along with me as I read the Latin.
·
Return to your charade group and explore and
discuss the remainder of the “In Basilica” story.
o Take
notes in your Stories section as you do this.
o Pay
special attention to the characters: How are they feeling? What is their
motivation?
·
Write down a number between 1-5 (or 1-4). No one
in your group may have the same number as you.
Homework
·
Portfolio Check Next Class!
·
Keep studying your vocab for at least 5 minutes
every day!
