ANNOUNCEMENTS: HOMEWORK AND CLASSWORK

Monday, 2/26/2018

You are all responsible for classwork and homework, even if you were absent on the day these were assigned.  Our class blog makes clear what we did in class and what homework has been assigned. When there is no specific homework assigned, I expect you to study the vocabulary sets in Quizlet. Links to study sets also are posted in the blog.  As I have stated, you will not retain the vocabulary unless you study at least 15 minutes every night.  So, you always have vocabulary to study. You should also review frequently the notes in your notebooks.

Here is the link to all the Quizlet sets for our class: Quizlet sets for Latin I Spring 2018.  By the end of this week you should know the vocabulary for Chapter 1 and 2 of Ecce Romani and sets 1 and 2 of First Words in Latin. 

I will be entering grades into PowerSchool at the end of this week.

When you finish, if you have questions or are uncertain, look at the Quizlet vocabulary list which identifies the part of speech to which each word belongs.  You can also use your textbook.

HEBDOMAS SEXTUS - WEEK 6 - HOMEWORK FOR 2/26 - To be collected

Vocabulary Quiz on Monday

1. Use Quizlet to study the vocabulary for Chapter I. This link will take you directly to the study set for Chapter I vocabulary. You will need to register for Quizlet in order to get credit for using it to study. Please do not create a user name that will not allow me to recognize who you are. Include in some way your first or last name. Many students find it very helpful to make their own vocabulary cards too.

2. Read the cultural sections of Chapter 1.  Then go to the Ecce Romani Student Homepage. Enter the code: jfd-0001.   Choose Chapter 1 and take the quiz titled "Culture" (10 questions).  When you are finished, you are given the option to save it as a PDF file. Do this, then print it out and bring the quiz to class on Monday.

Baiae: A Sunken City - Documentary

The Cornelius family spends its summer in the resort town of Baiae.  Much of the city is now under water. The documentary linked here shows us what divers and archaeologists have found under the sea. (A natural stopping place falls around 12 minutes).

Hebdomas quinta Friday February 23

TASK TWO

Now let's listen again to the Chapter I story read aloud, repeating each sentence after the speaker. She goes a bit too fast, but do the best you can and don't get discouraged. You will be reading like this soon yourself.

Next we will read each sentence and translate from Latin to English orally. Use your classroom phrases to ask for help if you need it:

quid significat .....?  What does .... mean?
non intellego ....    I don't understand ....? (be specific)

Nota bene:

• Remember when translating that Latin has no articles (a, an, the). You have to supply them.
• Present tense verbs can be translated three different ways: she reads, she is reading, she does read.

Now let's listen to the story and repeat after the reader.

Time now to translate your first Latin passage!

Hebdomas Quinta Friday February 23

TASK ONE.
Warm up. Question Words to copy into your notebooks and learn:

quis = who
ubi = where
cur = why
quid = what


Exercise 1 a · Responde Latine:
Questions for Chapter I reading Ecce Romani I based on initial image and text.

1. Quis est Cornelia?

2. Ubi habitat Cornelia?

3. Cur est Cornelia laeta?

4. Quid facit Cornelia?

5. Ubi habitat Flavia?

6. Quid facit Flavia?

7. Cur est Flavia laeta?

Each student will receive one or two questions and will write their response randomly Latine (in Latin) on the board. Then as a class we will match Latin sentences to the correct questions. Note: you can't match an answer you wrote on the board.  

February 22, 2018

TASK 03

Using your handout "First Words in Latin" work together as a whole group or in groups of two to create a 5 minute Latin conversation. Practice so you can perform it tomorrow.

You should have a hard copy of this handout glued into your notebooks. If you don't, the document is listed under the Header with the title "First Words in Latin Handout." (3rd from the last).

To perfect your pronunciation, you might want to listen again to the video of Scorpio Martinus, the first one.

Hebdoma quinta: Vocabulary for Chapter 01 Ecce Romani I

February 22, 2018
TASK SET TWO: VOCABULARY

• As a group, take turns reading the definitions and sentences you wrote for your homework on derivatives. PLEASE NOTE: If you are absent, you are still responsible for the homework assigned each day. The link to the homework appears in the post labeled "Homework."

• Looking at the vocabulary list in your textbook for Chapter 01, listen to the words being read and repeat them in Latin.  Go here to listen to Chapter 01 Vocabulary.

• Then in your notebook, make a T-chart with the Latin on one side and English on the other.  One the Latin side, note what part of speech the word is (noun, verb, adjective, etc.). For example under "nomen" you will write "noun."  On the English side add derivatives that you found in the derivative worksheet you did for homework last night. For example under "name" you will write "nominate. nomenclature," etc.). 

• Now go to the online student resources for Ecce Romani, Chapter 1.  Type in the code jfd-0001.  Go to Chapter 1 and do the three practice exercises.  Show your scores to Mr. Baldwin, who will record them. 

• Finally, follow the link to Quizlet below and do the Match Game two or three times with the vocabulary for Chapter 01. 

How well do you know the eight parts of speech?

TASK ONE, February 22, 2018

See how fast you can make the correct matches. Try three times and have Mr. Baldwin record your scores. You can brush up on definitions of parts of speech HERE.

HEBDOMAS QUINTA: Due February 22 Homework

February 21, 2018

You will need a good English Dictionary to complete this assignment. If you don't have one at home, try the online Merriam-Webster.

A derivative is a word that comes into a language from a different language. English is full of Latin derivatives (as are French, Spanish and Italian). Over time the meaning of the derivative in its new language can change, a little or a lot. Nevertheless, knowing the Latin roots of words can help us figure out the meaning of unfamiliar English words. In addition, English words can help us figure out many Latin words.   For each lesson in our textbook there will be a worksheet on derivatives. You can find them HERE.


Directions: 
Give the Latin word from the vocabulary list to which the English words are related. Then write a definition of one of the English words. Choose three of the English words you have defined and use them in a sentence that reveals that you understand the meaning.

In choosing words to define, go for ones that you don't know at all or don't use frequently.

The sentences "The house was rustic" Or "the village was small" do not show that you have understood the meaning of rustic or village.

The purpose here is to get under the skin of two languages, Latin and English, and to make connections. Give some thought to your choices, definitions and sentences. Your thoughtfulness and creativity will be apparent, if you use them.

TASK THREE: Pre-reading tasks


Open you  textbooks to pages 2 and 3 and to spend two minutes looking at the picture, reading the "In This Chapter" box and the title of the story, and looking very quickly at the vocabulary list.


Then ask yourself the following questions and answer in your notebook, leaving space for additional information later:

a.  What is the setting of the picture? Write in notebook: "setting:"

b.  Who are the girls? Write the question in your notebook.

c.   What are the girls doing? Write the question in your notebook.

d. How are the girls -different? Write the question in your notebook.

e.   What would be different if this were a scene in the country near you today? Write "differences:"

f.   What season of the year is it? Write "season"

g.   What are you going to learn about the Latin language in this chapter? Write: We will learn..."


h.  Give me examples of nouns, adjectives, and verbs in English. Write: "Parts of speech."

TASK 4: Reading the text.

First we will read the text together. I will read part of a passage and you will repeat.
Next you will listen to the text read again in Latin.
Now we will listen and repeat after the reader.
Finally we will listen to the vocabulary and repeat the Latin words.

Look at your the pre-reading questions again. What can you add to your answers after listening several times to the text and vocabulary? 

Salve/Vale take-two

TASK TWO

Listen once more to the conversation Boy Meets Girl, following the text.

Then have some fun with the Beatles' song "Hello! Goodbye" in Latin. The song is repetitive so you should be singing along after a couple of minutes.

What to say after you say "salve."

February 21, 2018

TASK ONE

More from First Words in Latin handout.  Make a T-Chart on the right hand page opposite to where you pasted this list. See sample T-Chart here.

quid est nōmen tibi?       What is your name?

mihi nōmen est _______________.        

Quid agis tu? How are you doing?

mihi placet! I am glad (to hear that you are well)

mihi paenitet (am sorry you aren’t doing well)

tibi grātiās agō   Thank you

nīl est or nihil est    you are welcome

libenter                     you are welcome

tē cūra!  Take care (of yourself)

valē!   Goodbye to one person

valete! goodbye to more than one person

Being polite

quaeso: please

amabo te: (alternate way of saying please; literal meaning "I will love you [if you do what I want])

gratias: thank you

libenter: you’re welcome

ignosce: sorry (forgive me)

These are expression. The literal meanings of many of the words are different from their meaning in a colloquial (conversational) expression.  When we use the expression "I am wiped out," we don't mean wiped literally.  We use it figuratively. Same with Latin.

Use one of the Latin dictionaries in the back of the room (shelved) or this online Latin Dictionary

to locate the meanings of the following words: nomen, ago, gratia, nihil, libenter, amo or amare, and ignosco. Write these definitions in the Latin side of your column.  Now, try to think of English words that may be related to or derived from the Latin words and write that on the English side of your column. If you get stuck, try this Online Etymological Dictionary.

                                        

                                                            

HEBDOMAS QUINTA - LESSON PLAN OUTLINE

February 20

Salvete, discipuli!

I have labelled different posts to indicate which tasks to do today.

• TASK 1: cut and paste "First words in Latin," putting the 5 lists on the left hand pages of your note book. There is a copy of this handout, which you received yesterday, in the pages section of our blog which you can download.   Copy and study list one: "Greetings."  Then play the Quizlet matching game.
• TASK 2. Watch the video by ScorpioMartianus on "Salutationes" (Greetings).  He speaks a bit too quickly for beginners, so don't stress out about following every word. While he speaks, the script of what he is saying scrolls down so you can follow the text. PLEASE NOTE: A copy of the script for this video is in pages. Ask your teacher if he can print out copies for you. If not, download it yourself.  HOMEWORK: study the first conversation "Boy Meets Girl" and the vocabulary list at home by downloading it from the blog.
• TASK 3. Textbook Scavenger Hunt. This is last week's blog posts (Hebdomas quarta) and is a great way to prepare for tomorrow when we begin READING our textbook, Ecce Romani I

Valete omnes, Magistra Gill

Practice First Words in Latin with Quizlet TASK ONE FOR 2/20
