At the beginning of class, I tested the students on their pronunciation of Latin words, using this list. If you need more practice, you can read these words outloud to practice your pronunciation. Make sure that you are looking at, thinking about, and following the pronunciation guide.
After we got the hang of pronouncing Latin words, it was time to move on to reading complete sentences. We read through each of the following stories, making sure that we had the right pronunciation for the words. No translating, just reading.
We then went over the vocabulary for the last story, "Two Roman Girls." This should be done on a sheet of notebook paper and turned in. For the remainder of the class period, students worked on their own to figure out a translation for the "Two Roman Girls" story. Some of the words in the story are not given in the vocabulary below the story. Those are listed below:
HW: students should start to study the vocabulary that goes along with the "Two Roman Girls" story. Quizlet is a good website for studying vocabulary that already has each chapter uploaded with the long marks. If you have index cards, you can make them into flashcards by writing the Latin on one side and the English on the other side.
