Q4 Project: Latin Recitation Presentations
Latin Recitations themselves will be the last full week of the quarter (5/11-5/15). Throughout the quarter, you will be working on various elements: background, translation, reflection.
You will be doing oratory, yay! Unlike last year, you get to select your own passage.
You are rather autonomous in the selection of the author and the passage, but:
1. The author's passage must be in Latin.
2. The passage must be approved by Ms. Hutchings.
3. There is a length requirement: approximately 3-4 lines of Latin prose (in TNR standard formatting)
4. Passages that have been read as a class are not fair game.
Q1 Written Project: Motto/Crest:
rough draft due Friday, August 22nd; final draft of Project due Friday, September, 5th
Q1 Oral Project: Grammar Presentations
dates will be assigned based on which topic you have: Old material presents first, new material later in the quarter (and Ms. H will help!). You will need a handout, with explanations and examples. More details to follow.
