Bellwork: What do you know about clouds?

Clouds were not classified until 1802, by Luke Howard. Like most scientists of the time he used Latin in his classification scheme.
Latin cumulus "a heap, pile, mass.
cummulus cloud: a dense, white, fluffy cloud with a flat base, a multiple rounded top, and a well-defined outline.

Stratus clouds: Stratus clouds are low-level clouds identified by straight layering with a consistent base. They mean rain if it is warm and snow if it is cold.
Latin "stratus, i m" coverlet, bed cover, blanket, bed or layer.

 

Latin cirrus, cirri m. curl, ringlet (hair); fringe
Cirrus cloud: a thin wispy fibrous cloud at high altitudes, composed of ice particles.

Bellwork: Ajectives and insults. Homework and Classwork October 26-November 1

Bellwork:

Latin adjectives take the same gender (masculine, feminine or neuter) as the noun they describe.  If someone is a big pig, then that person is a magnus porcus but if they are a big beast then they are a magna bestia but if they are a big turnip, then use magnum rapum.  

Use the Latin Insults Handout to create three insults. Make sure the nouns and adjectives agree. If you need help see page 34-35 in text book or ask Magistra Gill.

Choose one to write on a 3x5 card and hand it in.

09 October. Bellwork. Phrases of the Day.

Omne initium est difficile. Every beginning is difficult.

Adde parvum parvo magnus acervus erit. Add a little to a little and there will be a great pile. (Ovid)

Phrase of the Day. Latin in the News. Kavanaugh and Ford testify before Senate Judiciary 9/27/2018

Phrase of the day:"Falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus."

I don't imagine that most of you were able to watch the Senate hearings that were called to examine Judge Brett Kavanaugh's fitness for a lifetime appointment to the Supreme Court.  He was accused of sexual assault  when he was in high school and had to defend himself against the allegation. 

Since many legal terms derive from Latin it was not surprising to hear Latin in these hearings.

One senator's question was noteworthy. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut asked Kavanaugh if he was familiar with the Latin legal term used in common law "falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus."  

Kavanaugh dodged the question, saying "you can probably give a better translation than I can."  

Senator Blumenthal then translated the Latin “false in one thing, false in everything.”

By this time in the hearing, there were a number of apparent inconsistencies in Kavanaugh's story. And he then demonstrated an embarrassing ignorance of EASY legal Latin. 

You never know when Latin might be useful.

Do you agree with the Latin legal term?
