Since this week's homework is pretty straight forward, I'm just going to sock it to y'all in one lump.
Latin 1--Narro, narrare (to tell), habeo, habere (to have) and habito, habitare (to live in).
Latin 2--Same verbs as the 1s, but you can do four times as many different things with them.
Latin 3--2.6 tonight and on to Carthage (ch 3) for the rest of the week.
Latin 4--Chapter 1 by Thursday, Chapter 2 by Monday. And remember to make a toga by Friday. Here are some links to help:
Not bad, but the illustrations help more than the descriptions.
Simpler, but less coverage.
Similar to the above but more descriptive.

The week ahead...
...and yes, the promised extra credit info.
All Latin sections should expect homework or directed study Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. I will not be available for tutoring after school on Wednesday on account of needing to eat before the fencing meeting at 6:30p that day. ;)
Now, for the extra credit example I promised on Friday. You can click the 'extra credit' tag on this post to see some other examples, but here's one a Latin 1 brought in as a question the other day. It involves YouTube, a rather strange show and Google.
Said student asked what the Latin was in an episode from The Regular Show on Cartoon Network. Episode's title, More Smarter, should give you an idea of where this is going with relation to Latin... Anyway. I cannot find a legitimate clip, so until Cartoon Network dains to post one... Left with this transcription of an argument between the two main characters (it also saves you from hearing the wretched pronunciation):
Mordecai: "Quārum hī vitiō moriānis?"
Rigby: "Moriānis? Moriānis vestris incipivit rem tōtam."
Mordecai: "Et hi irem facĕre debēre īre stultum."
Wow, you say, Mr. McConnel is so cool that he was able to get all that by just listening to it! No, dear student mine, no. I used the internet. I used a search-term trick my wife taught me, which is to answer my who-what-when-where-why-how questions and plug those into my search. To wit, I searched for 'regular show more smarter latin' and, lo, someone had already posted this same question on Yahoo Questions. Fair is fair, and I used the above's transcription and translation as a guide for my own.
Translation then looks like this:
M: Of whose this by means of incorrect ideas?
R: Ideas? By means of y'all's ideas all of this thing began.
M: And this hedgehog would make another hedgehog stupid.
Wow. Cannot begin to tell you how bad the grammar is, but you get a sense of it from the, um, "English" rendering. My guess is that the writers used an online translator and just wrote what they got out of the other side... Yet another reason not to trust them. ;)

Quizzes incoming!
Latin 2, 3 and 4, you've got a bunch of sentences you've kind of seen before... Which is to say that I've taken them from the book and made some adjustments. >;)
Latin 1: review your notes from this week; the story of Romulus and Remus, parts of speech and nouns.
Myth: You will be allowed to use the Campbell comic book as reference, so be ready to tell me what he says in your own words.

Homework roundup, 4 September
Latin 4 needs to study hic, haec, hoc while 1 just needs to make sure there's a transcription and translation on the page. Myth makes art while 3 reads 1.4 (and studies endings) and Latin 2 is off the hook because I plumb forgot.
