BLOCK ONE: Tuesday, Jan. 8, 2013

Block 1, Latin 1

Job 1:  ALL STUDENTS  review these sentences taken from the story ānulus Aegyptius, CLC 10 page 172. You may refer to your earlier translation sheet and/or the story and vocabulary help from the book.

"ānulus antīquus est," inquit. "servus in pyramide ānulum invēnit."

"euge!" inquit Poppaea. "ānulus Aegyptius est fēlicissimus."

"pecūniam nōn habeō," inquit, "quod Neptūnus nāvem meam dēlēvit."

caupō  incendium  spectābat.  ēheu! taberna ardēbat!

caupō Syphācī vīnum dedit.  Syphax caupōnī ānulum trādidit.

caupō uxōrī ānulum dedit, quod ānulus eam dēlectāvit.

caupō, postquam ānulum accēpit, eum īnspexit.

fēmina ad tabernam rediit et marītum quaesīvit.

inimīcī, postquam ānulum cōnspexērunt, servum verberābant.

servus ānulum postulāvit. fēmina servō ānulum trādidit.

Then, ALL students take the  ONLINE PRACTICE QUIZ on these sentences. You may take the quiz as many times as you like. Your highest score will be recorded.  Questions on the ānulus Aegyptius story will be included on tomorrow’s Benchmark retake.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Job 2:  When you have finished the ānulus Aegyptius Practice Quiz, get the story CLC 11 Lucius Spurius Pompōniānus Part A from the substitute and individually prepare a written translation to turn in. You may use the glossary in the book as well as the story helps to be found on pages 188-189.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Job 3:  When you have finished the Part A Spurius translation sheet, request  the C11 Personal Pronoun Practice sheet from the substitute. As you work with this PAY ATTENTION!  Some verbs will need to use a DATIVE form of the pronoun as an “object.”  Other regular verbs will use an ACCUSATIVE form of the pronoun as a normal direct object.  And whenever the pronoun comes first in the English sentence, it is going to be the subject of the sentence and will need to be in the NOMINATIVE CASE. Turn this sheet in to the substitute when you are finished.
