Hebdomas Sexta

For your next assignment, choose three of the sentences in chapter 5 of Wheelock in the exercises section and incorporate them into a paragraph of your own, in Latin. This can take the form of a simple story, or a thematic paragraph. Use vocabulary that you know and that is current in the first five chapters of Wheelock. Keep it simple.

Email your paragraph to me at my GSU email address:

Hebdomas Quarta

In light of our upcoming test on Sept. 18, I have decided not to give you an assignment on the blog this weekend. Instead, I would like to as you to read the stories I gave you. At the very least, read the one we went over in class 5 times through. Or, if you feel very confident about that one, read it through once and the next one after it 4 times through.

See you on Tuesday where we will be reviewing for the test. Bring questions about your exercises.
