12/11/2018 Tuesday (2 hour delay day) Chapter 09 Ecce Romani Gods and Goddesses

EQ: What were the roles of Roman gods and goddesses? How did Roman deities and religious practices differ from those of the Greeks that Roman gods they assimilated?

Bellwork (both 1st and 3rd period)

Quotation of the day

"Religion for the Romans was a bargaining process: if a man did his duty, he had a right to expect the god to do his. Do ut des – I give so that you may give – was the usual sacrificial prayer. Romans were always in spirit an agricultural people, thinking in terms of cause and effect, of reaping what one sows. The rhythms of their worship followed the rhythms of the seasons. Many Roman gods were not found far away on a mountaintop, but worked beside the Romans in field and home.

Latin I. First Period
We will go to the media center with the article by Rose Williams. This time is for you to use to gather images for the gods (ancient ones please) and build your answers either in the Word Document or in the Powerpoint Template (Google Classroom)

Latin I. Second Period

1. Copy the quotation of the day into your notebook.

2.  Mini-Vinco. Draw a tic-tac-toe board in your notebooks. Make it big enough so you can put the names of Roman gods and goddesses in the blank spaces. Then write in any order the Roman names of deities on page 69 in your textbook. Take a moment to read the short descriptions.  I will then read the description of each immortal and you put a game piece on that name. Three in a row: VINCO!

Now take out your Dei et Deae translation worksheet and use it to engage the translation in the Dei and Deae Powerpoint, which I will project.
