Agenda Friday August 31

Did you greet your teacher in Latin when you entered the classroom?
If you have an assigned seat, are you sitting in it?
Turn in your information sheets now, read the EQs and copy the phrases of the day.

EQ1: What are essential expressions and commands for using Latin in the classroom and with classroom objects?  
EQ2: Who was Julius Caesar? Would you have been on the side of his assassins? Why or why not?  One of the reasons Shakespeare's play "Julius Caesar" is so powerful is that reveals the complexities, the rightness and the wrongness, of killing Caesar. Right and wrong are in tension, at war with each other.

Phrases of the Day (POD). Quotations from Julius Caesar

Veni, vidi, vici.  · I came, I saw, I conquered.  · Written in a report to Rome 47 B.C., after conquering  a big chunk of Asia Minor in just five days

Alea iacta est - The die has been thrown (Said by Julius Caesar when he crossed with his troops the Rubicon river in 49 BC, despite the refusal of the Roman Senate, thus provoking civil war).

Malo hic esse primus quam Romae secundus - I prefer to be first in this place (a small village) than to be second at Rome. There are numerous versions of this in Latin. Caesar said this in Greek.

Hebdomas Prima - Week I

27 August 2018

Lets get started with a short conversation.

Salutationes – Greetings

Surge!  stand up.

Salve.  Quid nomen est tibi?  Hi.  What is your name?

Nomen est mihi __________ (your name)  My name is _________.

Quid tibi placet facere? What do you like to do?

Mihi placet ____________    I like to _______________ (English)

Gratias ago. Thank you

Libenter.  You are welcome.

Consīde, quaeso.  Sit down, please.

Now with a partner practice the conversation.  Learn what s/he likes to do.

After you say "salve" you might want to ask "quid agis" or "ut vales," which both mean how are you?

Here are some things you can respond.  Valeo...

Copy these words and images to put in your notebooks.

FYI: You can find many of the most important Latin conversation expressions in this Quizlet set: Quizlet 000 First Conversations (NLE = National Latin Exam)


Now look at your "Chapter 1 Greetings" handout (from Conversational Latin by Traupman). We are going to listen to the first dialogue, page 15.  First we will learn how to pronounce the words in the first dialogue:

Link to scripts for Greetings (Traupman Conversational Latin)

01 Hebdomas Prima - Week I - Homework Expectations

Vocabulary

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. It is you responsibility to inform yourself about the class work and homework that you missed by reading the blog before the first class after days you missed.

When there is no specific homework assigned, I expect you to study the vocabulary sets in Quizlet. Here is the link to our class's Quizlet sets. You will be asked to join the class the first time you use this link. If you create a Quizlet ID that contains your first or last name, I will be able to give you extra credit for studying the sets. Quizlet tells me what sets you studied and how much time you spent doing it.  I cannot give credit for user names that I cannot connect with a specific student.

Because vocabulary study is a standing homework assignment, you can expect a pop quiz any day.

Links to study sets are posted in the blog. You will not retain the vocabulary unless you study at least 15 minutes every day; 30 minutes is better. So, you always have vocabulary to study, both past and present. You should also review frequently the notes in your notebooks.

Many students find it very helpful to make their own vocabulary cards.  With these you can test yourself any time or ask friends and family to test you.  I highly recommend making 3x5 cards of vocabulary words.

Derivatives Worksheet

Each week in which we focus on a chapter of the textbook you are expected to complete the "Pre-reading Derivatives" worksheet for that chapter. You can find them all here. Unless otherwise noted, the chapter worksheet is due every Wednesday.

Hebdomas Prima - Week I - What you will need for this class

It is essential for you have these items by the end of Week I. Worth one quiz grade. 

• a loose leaf binder at least one-inch thick dedicated only to Latin, which you will bring to class every day. 
• notebook paper 
• five dividers for your binder 
• two two-pocked folders with prongs inside for holding papers

Please let me know if you have any problems acquiring these items.
