The Latin Exam will cover everything we have done this year except Hercules. You are responsible for the following information.
Part I. Vocabulary, Vocabulary, Vocabulary It is the end of the year, and you should know how to study vocabulary by now. In fact, you should know all the vocabulary, too. But, if you aren't sure, here are the page numbers where you can find all the words you need to know: 31 32-33 34 49 81 102 104 143 167 174 Part II. Conjugating Verbs We have been practicing conjugating the last few weeks besides studying the play. You should know how to conjugate a verb in the present, future, and imperfect tenses. Click on a tense to see how it is done. If you need to practice, I have some sheets for you, but you have to come see me for one. Don't wait too long. Part III. Translating Sentences Ok. This is a big deal. You are going to have to translate some sentences (I say some because it may be 5 or 10 or whatever. It will be some.) These sentences will use verbs from all three tenses that we have studied and both conjugations. You will have to translate them into GOOD ENGLISH. For each word that you do not translate or translate incorrectly, you will be counted off. I will add a review sheet with examples and practice for you. Part IV. Mythology, the Trojan War, and the Aeneid This was a big part of the second half of the year. I hope that you all remember how this crazy story started. Go back in your notes and see if you can remember how the whole thing began. I will give you a hint - it was a wedding reception. I am going to give you the question for the exam right here. Using the play as your guide, summarize what you think happened in the Aeneid. In other words, I took some freedoms with the story, and I made it interesting while you made it funny. What is the real story line? What is the plot of either the play or the Aeneid? How would you explain what happens in the play to your friends at another school?
