Verb quiz Quia 01

http://www.quia.com/quiz/7052785.html (10 minutes)


When you finish the quiz copy into your notebooks the present conjugation of the verb to go: eo, ire

eo  I go                                     imus  we go
is you singular go                     itis  you plural go
it  s/he goes                              eunt  they go

To get the imperative forms, one takes of the -re of the infinitive (ire). So, the command forms are
 i!   and ite!

Now watch this shorts clip from Monte Python's Life of Brian "Romans Go Home" in which the command form of eo, ire is critical.

Guided instruction. Now for our story....

Guided Instruction. 11 Chapter prereading questions (10 minutes)

Open your textbooks to pages 78-79 and to spend two minutes looking at the picture, reading the "In This Chapter" box and the title of the story, and looking very quickly at the vocabulary list.

In this chapter: Davus takes charge. The slave Geta runs away. We are introduced to the "genitive" case for nouns (possessive). For example: the anger OF Davus (ira Davi); the dark of night (tenebra noctis); the friend of Cornelia (amica Corneliae). The gentive case often looks just like the nominative plural. So, you have to hold your horses and consider whether a plural subject or a singular possessive noun makes more sense. The chapter concludes with the story of the founding of Rome.

Now answer the following questions in your notebooks:

a. Who is the slave in green, and where did we see him last?

b. What is the slave in the picture at the top doing?

c. Look back at the first lines of the stories for Chapters 8 and 9. What phrases do you see in which one noun goes with another noun or nouns?
Chapter 8. "mater Marci et Corneliae
Chapter 9: Cornelia per agros ad villam anicAE currit.

d. How do you translate these phrases? Hint:  nouns are possessives or genitives.

e. What phrase can you find in the second line of the story for Chapter 11 in which one noun goes with another?  Davus est......."

f. From the information given in the "In This Chapter" box, what do you think the name of the case of the second or second and third words in these phrases is?

g. How do you translate a word in this case, and what does the case show?  Look at page 80!

Listen to the vocabulary. Repeat each word.  Identify Latin words that have English derivatives. For example "dominus" - dominate; "ira" -irate, irritable.
Why do you think Davus is irate?

Now listen to the whole story read aloud.

Next read the story quietly to yourself and record words that you do not know the meaning of and that are not in the vocabulary list.

Direct instruction. What is the genitive case?

Exit ticket: complete the chart above using ancilla (1st declension; slave woman); vilicus (overseer) for 2nd declension and arbor, arboris f. for third declension. Follow the model on page 81 below:

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

Guided instruction: Pre-reading derivatives

Audio for vocabulary
Audio for story

The vocabulary gives you information to figure out some of answers to the pre-reading questions. For example you see the word "nomine" and that it means "by name, or named." When "nomine" appears in the story, it is followed by a girl's name.  So you can deduce that Cornelia and Flavia are the girls' names.

Look at the vocabulary for a word that indicates a season of the year.  That tells you the answer to question f.

Vocabulary

Typewritter Game

Story

Let's read the story again and see if you can determine what "est" means. 

The approach of our textbook: you can figure out much of what you have not seen before by using prior knowledge (for example, a sentence must have a verb and a subject) and context clues that you get from the illustration and the vocabulary. You do not have to translate every word or word-for-word to begin to understand what the story is about.  In addition many English words have Latin roots and so you can often figure out what a Latin word means by its similarity to an English word. We say that an English word "derives from a Latin word, or is a "derivative."

Quiz 02 TPR

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.
