Week 5

Wow!  Are we 5 weeks in already?  You guys did a great job leading an interesting discussion with the questions you came up with.  Pretty soon you all won't need me much ;-)
Here are your assignments for next week.


Reading:

• Scan, highlight, and read The Aeneid Book 6. Be prepared to narrate the story.  As always, feel free to bring notes if you need them.
• Find at least one blue. 
• Find an instance of parallelism and mark it in orange.  It can be anywhere in books 1-6 of the Aeneid.

LTW DVDs:

• No DVDs this week

Writing:

• Complete the elocution worksheets on pages 19 – 24 of the student workbook.
• Write the essay for lesson two from your most recent outline (the one from the template on page 18).  Refer to the model essay on page 24 as needed.  Write one sentence (and no more than one) for each sub proof.  That means each of your proof paragraphs should contain 4 sentences: one for the main proof, and one for each sub proof.  This is a bit different from the model on page 24.  
• Write the proofs in your exposition in parallel form.
• Use the checklist on page 212 to edit your essay.  Be sure to have a parent proofread it for you. 

A note of clarification on the checklist: The checklist asks that the main proofs and conclusion be written in parallel form as well as the exposition.  That means that whatever wording you use in the exposition to create your parallel structure needs to be used consistently throughout the essay.    Each main proof sentence should use the same grammar pattern as its counterpart in the exposition.  The wording of the summary in the conclusion should also exactly match your exposition except that it will not contain an enumeration.
