Week of 11/26-30.

This week we will complete Book 5 in English translation so we can cover as much of the Latin in Book 6 as possible. If it looks like we will run out of time with Book 6, we will complete it in English as well. 

Book 6 is where Caesar describes the culture of the Gauls and it is quite interesting to read Caesar as a cultural historian. We don't want to skip it. 

Plan on a test over Book 5 on Friday. More on that as I get the test together.
