Dies Veneris (Day of Venus = Friday) 28 Augustus
Objectives: Review Grammar and vocabulary from Latin I
EQ. How do Latin sentences differ from English ones? What is different about word order and the endings of nouns and verbs?
There are now two sets of questions on the grammar presented in Chapters 1-7. While the link above works for me, I am not certain that it will work for you. You will have to have logged in to Rapid Identity and to have Canvas open. Canvas is picky about what it will allow a teacher to link to it.
If the link doesn't work, go to Assignments in Canvas and you will see the review handout and the two assignments based on the first chapters. It also shows up in Quizzes. It doesn't matter where you go to get to the review questions.
Use the Notes on Grammar Ecce Romani Chapters 1-12 to answer the fill-in-the-blank questions in the Assignments. You can find the Notes both in Canvas and by following this link in this blog.
Today we begin reading in Latin "The Myth of Daphne and Apollo." You can find it and related materials in the Canvas Module for Week 3. There are two links to Quizlet vocabulary. One takes you to the Quizlet site and loads quickly; the other is a pdf of all the vocabulary words and it loads slowly.
I would like for you to print out the myth and the vocabulary list, then put these in your binders. This and the next myths we will do review the vocabulary and grammar from Latin I.
Homework:
- study the vocabulary for Daphne and Apollo.
- complete the grammar review questions for Ecce Romani 1-4 and 1-7.

Dies Jovis (Thursday) 27 Augustus
EQ. What are some of the most frequently used words and expressions in Latin? What is a noun declension? What are the most basic things to know about how Latin nouns behave?
Objective: Demonstrate knowledge of Vocabulary Words from Greetings videos and Wildebeest story.
Declensions are groups or families of nouns whose endings change in the same way. The 1st Declension nouns end in -a when they are the subject of a sentence; 2nd declension nouns end in -us or -r; third declension nouns can end in any letter, so you have to look to the genitive and drop the -is to find the stem. Review Nouns and Declensions:
