Ms. Maddie's 7-2 Latin Assignments

This is the list of Unit 1's vocabulary list. 

This packet is a review of English grammar. Students should review carefully. This is not an assignment, but students will be expected to understand these grammatical concepts as they will prove to be necessary in succeeding in Latin! This document will be added to throughout the year with concepts we will encounter in our acquisition of Latin. Also, there is an extra credit opportunity embedded within this packet. 

Google Classroom Code: ujnvs6k

Lingua Latina Per Illustrata Textbook: ALL Readings 

Just as a reminder: Do not use google translate for when you write you summaries. All the vocabulary you need is in the reading. You may search what a Latin word in the reading means, but you are not to type sentences into google translate to know what they are in English or Latin. You will not get credit for your assignment if I see that you used google translate in your sentences. 

Test date Changed from Wednesday March 11th to Wednesday March 18th because of Mass on the 11th. Broadly speaking, the test will ask you to translate a passage (approx. 30 lines) from the second crater of Linga Latina (packets have been handed out) and ask you to decline and identify 2nd declension neuter nouns, as well as differentiate between the first declension masculine and feminine nouns and the second declension masculine nouns. 

Reminder: There will be a brief translation quiz on Monday on the readings we have been working on in class and for your homework. This quiz is more to show that you have been keeping up with the work more than anything. 

Midterm date changed: Tuesday, January 28th. 

 

Attached is the Review packet for the Latin Midterm.

MIDTERM DATE CHANGED: Monday, January 27th. 

 

Due to Theater rehearsals and performances and Catholic Schools Week Activities, the Latin Midterm has been moved up a day. The Midterm will now be on January 27th for ALL 7th and 8th Graders. Sorry in advance for any inconvenience. 

The Midterm for Latin will be on Thursday, January 23rd. Study guides will be handed out on Monday, January 13th.

Attached are the Homework Instructions for the MET Groups. There were 3 different groups at the Met: Coins, Political Portraiture, Roman Mythology/Religion. Complete the instructions that you were in.

Attached are the MET Packets. 

 

Reminder: 7th Grade is going on a field trip to the MET on Tuesday, January 7th to see the Met's Greek and Roman collections. Return Permission Slips (sent home yesterday and today).

Latin Extra Credit for Quarter 1

First Test: Our first exam will be on Monday September 30th, 2019 during the class period. Students will have the entire class period to finish. I will be posting a practice exam and a review sheet that we will be going over in class on Thursday shortly. For now, the test will have three parts: 

1.) Declension: produce all proper case (10 total) for a Latin noun in the first declension. 

2.) Translation: Translate a passage fo Latin into English (which we all will have already read and translated in class together) 

3.) Vocabulary: recognizing Latin vocabulary and giving the English word and vice versa (from the list I have already given students). 

Attached are the correct Latin sentences for the homework last week. (Nota Bene: word order does not matter!) 

Attached is the reading of Romulus and Remus, from which I will pull some sentences that students will translate on the exam. The vocabulary sheet (vocabulary for which students are not responsible) attached will also be given on the exam. 

These are the sentences students should translate into Latin from English. Nota bene: make sure your "cases" in Latin match the grammatical function in its sentence! Also, watch out for singulars and plurals. 

Homework Assignment: See attached. 

The attachment is Unit 1 of the textbook Elementa. Students will have received this in packet form, but it is also here for electronic convenience. (Nota Bene: This is not an assignment, but the reading that we will be doing in class for the next couple weeks.
