I am in great pain today and can't make it in. Was up most of the night. Begin class  with a matching quiz on half sheets of paper on the vocabulary for Chapter 7. Copies on desk at front of room.   We are still doing a unit on Roman slavery.  I am attaching a film viewing guide, which has already been distributed to the students. The classes have viewed the film to about the intermission point. Between 1;20 and 1;40.  Each class can tell whomever is showing the film how far they got.  The film, Spartacus, is three hours long, so there is no danger of finishing it. Please have students review the study guide before showing the film. I left the tab open on my computer that takes you to my Amazon Prime account. I own the film Spartacus. If by chance the log on needs to be re-entered and the computer does not supply the information automatically, ... All necessary materials are on the desk  at the front of the room. These are also in the class blog newbernhighschooll

10/19/2017 Latin Case System Video and Notes

We watched and took notes on this Latin Tutorial Video. Latin Case System by Latin Tutorial Key concepts   There are FIVE families of nouns in Latin. These families are called DECLENSIONS Nouns belonging to the same DECLENSION have the same endings. Noun endings are added to the noun stem. The noun stem is determined by removing the genitive ending from the genitive (possessive) form of the noun. In a Latin dictionary nouns appear with the nominative form, the genitive form and the gender (m, f. n.: masculine, feminine, neuter). You have to memorize the genitive form.  There are five main categories of noun endings. (See your color printed noun chart in your interactive notebook.) NOMINATIVE- subject GENITIVE - possession DATIVE- indirect object ACCUSATIVE - direct object ABLATIVE -(often) the object of a preposition These categories are called  CASES CASES  tell you what role the noun is doing in a sentence: Is it the subject of the verb? Is it the direct object o

Basic Grammar: Identifying the parts of a sentence

In reading your homework and classwork done while I was away, it became clear that some of you do not easily recognize nouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs, conjunctions and prepositions. The Activity Book exercises often ask you to identify parts of speech (nouns, adjectives, etc.) and their function in a sentence (subject, direct object, indirect object, object of a preposition, prepositional phrase, transitive, intransitive verb; command forms, infinitive forms, etc.). Here is a handout on the parts of speech, which are the same in Latin and English. Parts of Speech The Basics Videos by Latintutorial: Basic English Grammar Part I Basic English Grammar Part II Latin Sentence Structure Latin Case System (nominative = subject, genitive = possession, dative = indirect object, accusative = direct object, ablative = object of a preposition and other things, vocative = direct address) Introduction to Latin Infinitive Latin Infinitive Part I: Complementary Infinitive
