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.
The story of Daphne and Apollo was written in Latin by the poet Ovid. Ovid believed that the fundamental principle of the universe was CHANGE. He called his book of myths "Metamorphoses" which means "changes" or transformations"in Greek. Everything was always changing or transforming into something else. Nothing is stable.
The Roman sculptor Bernini created an amazing statue depicting the moment of Daphne's transformation of a girl into a tree. We will begin with this.
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:
Here is the link to the Colloquium Comic. Colloquium means conversation. I have put words in some speech bubbles. I hope you don't simply use these, but instead look at the greetings materials we have focused on this week and come up with something original. You can also change or add to the figures on each slide.
Put answers in your notebooks. I will create a space in Canvas for you to upload your answers. I don't think the page above is editable. If you find a way to do it, more power to you.
