HW -- week of 3/2

HOMEWORK FOR THIS WEEK: Buy Ms. Enscoe lots of birthday presents (birthday -- April 4th) --> I like diamonds, blue topaz, and tanzanite, set in either platinum or white gold... ;o)

Just kidding (sort of). Here is this week's work:

SEPTIMI (VII):

Quiz on Tuesday, March 27th on Imperfect Tense verbs: How is it translated? ("was/were _____ing"); fill out chart with endings ("-bam, -bas, -bat; -bamus, -batis, -bant"); Conjugate two verbs into the imperfect tense (just like class work. e.g. amabam, amabas, amabat...); Translate from Latin-to-English (e.g. amabam = "I was loving") and English-to-Latin (e.g. we were annoying = "vexabamus"). Use your notes to study for the quiz!

Chapters 6-10 vocabulary quiz on Friday, March 30th. See previous posts for list of words. Multiple-choice.

Monday (for Tuesday): Study imperfect tense, Chapters 6-7 vocabulary, and finish redoing Chapter 13 translation (most are done with it, but in case you have not finished -- do it tonight! You hand it in tomorrow!).
Tuesday (for Wednesday): Study Chapters 8-9 Vocabulary.
Wednesday (for Thursday): Study Chapter 10 vocabulary.
Thursday (for Friday): MASSIVE VOCABULARY REVIEW!!!

Pronunciation Guidelines

Here are some guidelines for Latin pronunciation:

“veni, vidi, vici” ("I came, I saw, I conquered") pronounced “way-nee, wee-dee, wee-kee”

- No j or w in Latin.
- “I” before a vowel = y sound (e.g. “iam” is pronounced “yahm”)
- V = w (e.g. “villa” = “weella”)
- K, y, z rare à k, y and z = Greek letters

Most sounds similar to English:

B before s/t = “p” (urbs = “urps”; observat = “opserwat”)
C is ALWAYS hard (cadit = “kadit”)
G is always hard (as in “get”) – gemit
I= y before vowel (via = “wee-ya”)
R=rolled (ramus)
S like “sing” not like a “z” (servus = “ser-woos”)
V=w (villa = “wee-lla”)

Vowels à macrons (the lines over the letters) vs. without macrons. Letters with macrons = 2x longer

Short: Long:
A= “alike” (ad) ā= “father” (clāmat = “claaahhhmaht”)
E= “pet” (ex) ē = “date” (dēscendit = “day-sken-dit”)
I = “sip” (Italia) ī = “sleep” (īratus = “ee-rah-toos”)
O= “for” (arborem) ō = holy (in hortō)
U = foot (ubi) ū = boot (ūlūlat = “ooo-loo-laht”)

Dipthongs: 2 vowels making one sound. Examples in English? “th” “sh” “ng”
Ae = “sky” (amicae = “ah-mee-keye”) au = “How” (audit = “oww-dit”)
Ei = say (deinde “day-n-day”)

8th Grade Update

Salvete omnes! I have changed the due date for the Pompeii assignment to Tuesday, March 27th.
There is also a quiz on Tuesday, March 27th, on Chapter 25 vocabulary (NOT Chapter 24!) and the pluperfect and future perfect tense.
The words for the quiz include: tumultus, excitatus, de omnibus rebus, abhinc, taberna, poeta, aliquid, lapis, oppressus, trahere, conficere.
For the verb section, you will have to form verbs into the pluperfect and future perfect tense using the 3rd principal part; you will also have to translate verbs correctly and fill out ending charts (ie: 'eram, eras, erat...').
