Midterm Exam on Thursday, 10.10.19

Dear Elementary Latinists,

Our first midterm exam on Thursday, October 10, will have the following format.

(A) Declining nouns and adjectives:

I'll give you English adjective-noun pairs in the singular or plural, you give me the Latin forms in the five major cases. The adjectives must modify the nouns in case, number, and gender.

(B) Jump drill:

A series of relatively short sequences in which you "jump" (change) one attribute of a verb form at a time, either person, number, or mood.

(C) Passage to translate:

A short passage of connected Latin prose, using vocabulary and grammar through chapter 6. Read it carefully and write out your translation.

(D) Reading out loud (take-home portion, due Saturday, October 12, 11:00 p.m.):

Practice reading the midterm passage out loud: use Shelmerdine's textbook to help you determine vowel/consonant sounds and place accents. When you have perfected your reading, call my campus voice mail and read me the Latin over the phone. 

NOTE: Please prepare for and complete this portion of the exam on your own. I'll supply a copy of the passage for you to practice on and mark up and read from.
