Roman Calendar Project due 4/9

Since we have completed Capitululm XIII, I want to have a bit of fun and have you each make your own Roman calendar based on your birth month. Here is a copy of the description and rubric for your calendar project Cap XIII_Roman Calendar Project 2012, so look it over and make sure that you fulfill each portion of the rubric. This assignment will be counted as a test grade and this gives you a chance to really strengthen your grade early on. I’m looking forward to your projects!

Homework: Enroll in Quizlet Group and Create Flash Cards for Cap XII

The other day we previewed Quizlet.com in class and looked at using it as a tool to review new vocabulary words. From this point on in the year, we are going to be creating flash cards for the vocabula nova for each Capitulum. We are going to start with Capitulum XII.

  1. First, make sure you have created a FREE account at Quizlet.com (use your Gmail account that you created at the start of the year to keep all of your academic information in one place)
  2. Next, make sure you have enrolled in our group, Latin 2 (you will need the password which requires that you remember how to CORRECTLY spell the name of the famous Roman general turned potential dictator that was assassinated in 44BC)
  3. Finally, add at least ONE CARD to the Capitulum XII set using a verbum from the vocabula nova of that capitulum and an image to associate with that word. You may also create a definition, but it must be in Latin!

Then try learning the new set of cards and see if you can get the highest score! Due 2/24.
