December 11 - 15

SPANISH NOVICE I -

We continued our work on "Backwards Verbs" and how they work in Spanish.  We used model sentences about famous peoples' likes and worked on our story about Jorge and what he likes / doesn't like about school.  We also played some games on Quizlet to help our understanding of the vocabulary and how they are used in sentences in Spanish.  This upcoming week, we will finish the story about Jorge and have a listening and reading assessment.

SPANISH NOVICE II -

The students worked on the story from the previous week about "Elle" and changed the classes, jobs and languages to make their own version of the story.  We had a competition where the students worked together to unscramble sentences into the correct order and translate them into English.  We also took a short listening quiz using our target verbs ,"hablar", "tomar", and "quiere ser" along with some pervious vocabulary.

LATIN -

This week we worked more on translating basic Latin sentences through a short story (2 paragraphs) about a dog causing some problems at home.  We read and watch a couple videos to learn about typical homes of the wealthy in ancient Rome.  Here are links to the videos.

We also learned two new Phrases of the Day;
"e pluribus unum" (From many, one) - It is on U.S. Currency
"veni, vidi, vici" (I came, I saw, I conquered) - Stated by Julius Caesar to the Roman Senate to describe a swift military victory
