Latin II/III Assignments, February 28th  (Week twenty)

Please note:  These assignments should take you 60 to 70 minutes each.

Nota bene:  Below is a study sheet based on Ecce Romani that Mr. Depangher prepared.  Please have this done by Tuesday, March 7th.

I don’t recommend starting on this till Thursday.  Get to the assignment for Wednesday first as it is rather long.

Wednesday,  March 1st

□ Write vocab. for Lessons 23, 24, 25, 26, and 27 of  Henle. (20 minutes) There are only 34 words.  Recite as you write, then recite them 2 more times orally.  Please apply yourselves as you do this.  Engage. (10 minutes) 

□ Study and recite grammar numbers 398, 402-404, and 414-417. You should already know most of this. (5 minutes)

□ Study and write grammar numbers 556-557.  The important thing to remember here is that in the temporal clauses (just memorize the words in the left hand column of grammar # 556), the perfect tense is used when expressing a single act in the past, not the pluperfect.  Read over grammar number 544 as well and be prepared to tell me in your own words when the imperfect and perfect tenses are used. (5 minutes)

Take a break!
