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.
