Week of September 10-14

Several things are going on this week:

1) Test on Friday over Book I. It will contain some translation, grammar questions from the text (ellipsis, asyndeton, polysendeton, gerunds, gerundives, gerundive of obligation), and general questions over the story.

Monday: Go over remainder of Book I that you were to read in translation.

Tuesday-Thursday: Work on Book IV, Chapters 24-26.

Friday: Test over Book I. Turn in Chapter 24-26 translations.

A note on the readings in translation: due to the syllabus pacing, we will not be able to read everything in class. You will have to do most of that on your own so we can cover the required translations in class, as well as the grammar lessons and readings from other authors.

Week of September 3-7, 2012

We will have weird, wacky schedules on Thursday and Friday due to the football game on Thursday, so be prepared to use the short time we have in class on those days wisely. No time to fool around!

Monday: Labor Day Holiday. You can come to school if you wish, but don't expect to see me there.

Tuesday-Friday:

1) Read/translate/discuss Book I Chapters 6-7. After this we will read the rest of the book in English (in your textbook) and head to Book 4.

2) Vocabulary Quiz 2 on Friday.

3) Grammar: gerundives. Woot!

I will schedule a test next week, date TBA. It can cover everything we've read, translated, discussed, grammar, literary devices used by Caesar, etc.
