HOMEWORK: Monday, May 23, 2011

Hello!  We are off to a great start for this short week.  Our "in basilica" skits are taking shape and looking pretty creative!

There is no written homework for class tonight, but it is very important that you spend time reviewing your part of the skit for tomorrow (either Caecilius, iudex, Hermogenes, or amicus).  Remember, if you have your entire part memorized tomorrow, you will earn 5 extra credit points. 

The rubric for the skit is based on the following: PRONUNCIATION,  ACCURACY, CREATIVITY, ENTHUSIASM, and TEAMWORK.

HOMEWORK: Thursday May 19, 2011

Our "in basilica" skits are coming along well.  They should be so much fun to watch next week!  I'm so excited to see the 7th graders perform these skits ENTIRELY in Latin!

Homework for the weekend is "Stage IV Vocabulary Review."  All vocabulary words can be found under "Vocabulary" at the top of this page.  This is a simple assignment and a great way to review for our Stage IV quiz.

If you have any missing work, please turn it in ASAP!  We have less than a month of school left.  Make sure you are prepared for finals and to transition to the 8th grade by keeping up with all assignments.   For those of you I won't see during tomorrow's half day, have a great weekend!
