Latin 3 (Honors) Assignments

In case you don't get notices when I change an assignment already posted, here's the information about sharing a document in Google Drive:  

Create the document with the proper file name and body, then share it with me. Click the blue "share" icon in the upper left to open a dialogue box. In the box, click "Change" in the row that says "Private - only you can access." You can then add my e-mail address. Be sure to change it so I can edit it - that will show up to the right of the box where you type my e-mail address.

 

If this doesn't make sense, print it and bring it to class tomorrow. The instructions were unclear, and it'll be fine.

The translation for your song is due at 10:30 on Sunday night. There's no need to be up late if you have an AP test the next day.

 

Please read the instructions to make sure you get full credit.  

Change to instructions:  Spend no more than 45 minutes on this assignment. After 45 minutes of honest effort, turn in what you have. 

Update, 11:07 pm:  This might make things clearer:  Create the document with the proper file name and body, then share it with me. Click the blue "share" icon in the upper left to open a dialogue box. In the box, click "Change" in the row that says "Private - only you can access." You can then add my e-mail address. Be sure to change it so I can edit it - that will show up to the right of the box where you type my e-mail address.

 

Please make sure, on Monday, that you turn in the translation of Hildegard von Bingen's poem. We went over it in class, but I didn't take it up. 

Continue working on Ovid. Check which lines are due from your group on TUESDAY. New vocabulary will be listed by Saturday morning. 

 

If you know you will not be here Tuesday because of chorus or sports, please e-mail the translation or send it with a friend. The due date was pushed back one day to Tuesday, so it should be ready that day.

 

Please also keep an eye out for e-mails explaining individual assignments that will be due after your return from spring break (the end of that week).

If you're on the band trip, you'll need the following documents:

Ovid vocabulary list and general notes - updated through line 114

Group A:  lines 81-90 - due Tuesday

Group B:  lines 91-101 - due Tuesday

Gerundive and Future Passive Participle:  are they the same thing?
"The Gerundive must not be regarded as either a Present Passive Participle (i.e., a Participle implying the notion of a continued passive state) or of a Future Passive Participle, for, though the gerundive seemingly supplies the case sometimes of the former, sometimes of the latter, at other times it does not supply the place of either" (M. Hime, An Introduction to the Latin Language, p. 457).

Hime is an old source (1878), but here's a more recent one (2001) that sheds a little more light on the issue:  Anne Mahoney's revision of Allen & Greenough's New Latin Grammar, #500:
"Gerundive (Future Passive Participle)
"Note.--The participle in -dus, commonly called the Gerundive, has two distinct uses:--
"(1) Its predicate and attribute use as Participle or Adjective (500).
"(2) Its use with the meaning of the Gerund (503). This may be called its gerundive use."

Thus, the gerundive and the future passive participle look identical but have two uses: a participle/adjective that shows necessity (but can, in a translation, look a little different than necessity) AND to replace a gerund when it would have a direct object. In the latter case, it is translated as a gerund (or even an infinitive, which in Latin is the nominative, and sometimes accusative, of the gerund:  To err is human).

So, are they the same? Some small grammar handbooks don't even use the phrase "future passive participle", so yes, they're pretty much the same.

Please download these Catullus poems and translate them for the following days:

 

due Thursday, Catullus 72 and Catullus 70 (in that order)

 

due Friday, Catullus 8 and Catullus 85 (in that order)

 

Remember that you must be signed out of all your Gmail accounts except for your McT student account.

Be ready to recite your prayers on Tuesday:

Subjunctive Overview (corrected version) - I posted this so that it might help you. May you study hard so that you will do well. May it be helpful in reviewing for the test on Tuesday! (Students are wondering how many bonus points they might receive for pointing out all the times Latin would require a subjunctive in this post.)

Complete workbook Lesson XVII (pp. 46-8) by Wednesday, 10/23 - perfect & pluperfect subjunctive, sequence of tenses.

Due by 7:50 am - Prezi for Word Web presentation

Be sure to post your name and prezi URL at the end of the Word Web group page.

Try to go to follow the links in the earlier post. If you receive the "Invalid username/password" message, check your password. It should be 8 letters and then 2 numerals. 

If you still can't get in, scroll down until you see the big headings "Synonym 1", "Antonym 2", and "Related Words 3". I uploaded the sheets you need as .pdf's. You should be able to download these and print them without going to Google Drive. You probably will not be able to cut and paste from these sheets (so you don't have to retype the list), but it won't hurt to try.

Remember, if you can't paste your answers into the Google Drive document, bring a typed, printed copy to class. All typed work should be in black ink.

If you don't know how to put a macron over a letter that needs it (makes a difference in the meaning), then underline that letter.

When you sign in, try the full e-mail address, and don't forget that S at the end of "@mctstudents" before the ".org". Some people thought you didn't need that part of the e-mail address, and that might be true, but try it both ways if you have trouble.
