Highlights from Wed. 9/7


Wheelock sentences
In translating sentences remember to look closely at the tags and think about what noun 'job' is indicated by each tag: subject, direct object, "of", etc.

Quiz tomorrow on Ch. 2
The format will be similar to last week’s quiz on Ch. 1. For the vocabulary, you will give the definition for some words, and for some you will fill in part of the vocabulary entry – for example, the second principal part of a verb or the genitive form of a noun.

The second section will ask for selected forms of one noun and one verb. For example, I might ask you to write out all the singular forms of porta and the plural forms of servo.

The third section will again be four Latin sentences and an extra credit English-to-Latin sentence.


Scribblers, Sculptors and Scribes
The Scribblers, Sculptors and Scribes chapter for this week covers everyday items, such as combs and wine jugs. These everyday items tend to have greetings to their owner written on them using the imperative. The imperative is also used for curses, as we will see in the fourth inscription, written on a wall outside someone’s house.
