Phrases of the Day (POD) Mottoes of South Carolina


The seal is made up of two elliptical areas, linked by branches of the palmetto tree. Surrounding the image on the left, at the top, is "South Carolina", and below, is "Animis Opibusque Parati" ("Prepared in Mind and Resources"). The other image on the seal depicts the Roman Goddess Spes walking along a shore that is littered with weapons. The Goddess, symbolizing Hope, grasps a branch of laurel as the sun rises behind her. Below her image is her name "Spes", Latin for "Hope", and over the image is the motto "Dum Spiro Spero", or "While I Breathe I Hope".
  • Animus Opibusque Parati
  • Dum Spiro Spero
ops, opis n.: resources, wealth; help

spiro, spirare, spiravi, spiratus - to breathe

spero, sperare, speravi, speratus - to hope


spes - hope

Independent instruction
When you finish recording the information about the mottoes. Practice three times the vocabulary from Chapter 03 with the matching game below





 Direct instruction: declensions

  • Nouns in Latin are grouped into five noun families, which are called "declensions."  
  • In chapter 01-02 you met nouns that are mostly in the first declension: puella, villa, pictura and amica.
  • Notice that they end in -a when they are singular subjects; -ae when they are plural subjects.
  • In chapter 03 we meet nouns of the second declension, or noun family: puer, vir, ager, servus, amicus, hortus; and adjectives of the second declension: iratus, solus, laetus.
  • Notice that 2nd declension nouns and adjectives end in -r or -us when they are singular subjects and -i when they are plural subjects.

Now lets look at the nouns in the Chapter 3 story (audio):

TPR: Caput, umerus, genu, pes
Words
Music

Guided instruction: Pre-reading derivatives
