Announcements & Homework

Salvete, discipuli! It looks like there is more than half a chance that I will be back at school next week. I am hoping for Tuesday.  Have to see what the doctor says.  I hope so. Just in case this is the last time you see Mr. Baldwin for a while, please (quaeso) say a loud AGO GRATIAM (thank you) to him. Before you leave hand in your notebooks to Mr. Baldwin so I can look over them this weekend. Mr. Baldwin should have the text of "Marcus to the Rescue" (Chapter 5). I'd like you to glue this into your composition books and translate lines 8-13 (stopping at adveniunt ). If this cannot be found, then review with Quizlet all vocabulary sets we have had so far so no words fall out of your memories. Use the games, make cards, make foldables...whatever it takes, learn vocabulary! Hoping to see you soon, Magistra Gill

05 October Warm Up: Initial Lines of Aeneid by Vergil and important characters in the Epic

WARM-UP COPY THE VERY FAMOUS FIRST WORDS OF GREATEST LATIN EPIC, THE AENEID.  THEN COPY THE NAMES OF KEY FIGURES IN THE EPIC AND THE MYTH OF THE FOUNDATION OF ROME BELOW IT.  DON’T WORRY ABOUT IDENTIFYING THESE FIGURES NOW. YOU WILL DO THAT AFTER YOU TAKE THE VOCABULARY QUIZ. Of war and a man I sing, who first from Troy’s shores, an exile by the decree of fate, came to Italy and Lavinium’s shores. Much was he tossed on the sea and land by the violence of the gods, because of cruel Juno’s unforgetting anger. Much, too, did he endure in war as he sought to found a city and bring his gods to Latium. From him are descended the Latin people, the elders of Alba, and the walls of lofty Rome.    -- Vergil, opening lines of the Aeneid. Write in your composition book the following terms, leaving at a space of one line between each name.  Take great care to spell each name correctly Aeneas= mother of Aeneas = father of Aeneas = Ascanius (p. 31) = Paris of Troy

Page 22, Chapter 4. Word Study I. Read pages 22-23.  https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/dictionary This is a good online dictionary.  It first gives definitions of a word. Then examples of the word used in sentences. Then, scrolling down, “Origin and Etymology” of the word.  Etymology means origin or history of a word. This is where you will find the Latin word from which the English word is derived. As your book tells you derivatives are words (English) that are derived from or come from another language (Latin).  Often a Latin word has morphed through other languages before it settled into its English form (derivative).  The Origin and Etymology section tells you the story of these changes and how the Latin word created derivatives in languages other than English (aqua =agua in Spanish).   For more detailed information see The Online Etymological Dictionary : http://www.etymonline.com/ . Use these dictionaries to complete exercise 1 and 3; or use a good old fa
