27 August homework

Latin 4: Find or speculate fourth-principal part of some verbs you already know.  Also, I am soliciting ideas for read-alouds dealing with King Arthur, the Middle Ages, etc.  PG or PG-13 please.  I like my job.

Latin 3: Completely (Latin forms and English translations) go through the perfect tense (active) of the verb studio, studere, studi--To study

Latin 1: What is your name?  What does it mean?

Mythology: Any further thoughts or ideas prompted by today's clip or the handout?

Latin 2: Completely (Latin forms and English translations) go through the present tense (active and passive) of the verb cupio, cupere--To desire or to want.

Also, for Latin 1, in case you didn't get the summation of our note-taking exercise, here it is:

  • The big pic: the story of Romulus and Remus, the founding of Rome and how the Romans saw it (and what it can tell us about them)
  • The story: Amulius steals Numitor's throne.  Makes Numitor's daughter a priestess (no sex).  She gets pregnant by Mars and has twins.  Amulius orders twins thrown into the Tiber River.  Twins saved by a wolf and a woodpecker (or some guy and his _____ wife).  Twins grow up, kill Amulius and put Numitor back on the throne.  Go off to found their own city, Romulus kills Remus.
