EQ. How are prepositions used in Latin sentences?  Prepositions modify nouns using two cases. What two cases do prepositions take? What are the personal endings and stems of all conjugations of verbs? What are the command forms? How do you determine verb stems?
Objective: review prepositions and how they change the nouns they modify. Review of verb forms (conclusion of Unit II, Chapters 8-12).

Whole Group:
Bellwork: Copy the following information about prepositions into your notebooks:

• preposition = postioned (placed) + pre (before). A small word place before a noun.
• object of a preposition: a noun in the accusative or ablative case
• a preposition shows a relationship in place or time

Most common prepositions in Latin

Ablative                                                 Accusative
ab, a - away from, from                        ad - to, toward
cum - with                                            ante - before
de - down from                                     apud - at, near
ex, e - out of                                         circum -around
pro - in front of                                     inter - among, between
sine - without                                        ob - on account of
                                                              per-through
                                                              post -behind
                                                              prope - near
                                                              trans-across

Some prepositions can take the ablative or accusative case, but their meaning changes
in + ablative = on, in                                    in + accusative = into, onto (motion)
sub + ablative = under                                  sub+ accusative = up to

Review this information with students before continuing.

Watch LatinTutorial on prepositions. 
Pause video at "sub" slide so students can copy examples of "sub" sentences.

Notes:
Pattern for  whether a preposition takes the ablative or accusative:
Motion toward - Accusative Case
Location - Ablative Case
Motion away from - Ablative case


Collaboration/Group Work (WICOR): 

IId. Copy this Word bank:  in piscinam, aestate, ad ianuam, sub arbore,  ad villam rusticam, in villa,  illa nocte, cum canibus,  complexu, ex arbore,  baculo.

Then as a group, complete the following sentences (one handout for each group) with choices from the word bank that make good sense. Some phrases can be used twice or in more than one sentence, but you have to use all the phrases at least once. Then your team must translate your sentences.

1. Cornelia et Marcus et Sextus ___________________in villa habitant.

2. Marcus et Sextus ______________________sedent.

3. Nuntius sollicitus ________________currit.

4. Puer temerarius _____________________________ cadit.

5. Cornelia ____________________ad villam vicinam furtim ambulat.
