Students began the lesson working on Capitulum Primum : Pensum B, which were collected for marking. The students were asked to use the worksheet that was printed on the back of Pensum A. They were told that they could look through the textbook as much as they wished, but not through their exercise books or other resources. All of the worksheets mentioned in this blog can be downloaded here.
2a. recte/prave Round Four: We now played another round of recte/prave (see Lesson 25), which is proving to be both popular and effective. For this round I brought along the pink Amogus - named Roseus - and introduced the word accusat. I put the adjective improbus on the board - in its various forms - and asked the students how it changed when it became the object/accusativus/palm punch form.
2b. For round Four, we used only the singular form of each word. I asked, depending on the slide “Quid/Quem/Quam accusat Roseus?”, to which each student responded, for example, “Roseus cibum improbum accusat". The slides for recte/prave can be found here.
3. Students were now given time to reread Capitulum Tertium, Lines 1-68. They were asked to pay special attention - and even punch their hand into their fist - whenever they read an object/accusativus form.
