Week 6

I've enjoyed our tour through the first half of The Aeneid!  I hope you have too.  I encourage you to read the second half of the epic on your own.  As we move on to The Tragical History of Dr. Faustus, we'll encounter some familiar characters.  Keep asking yourself what virtues are being portrayed in these works?  What vices?

Reading:

• Survey Doctor Faustus and write ten things you notice about this book/edition in the back cover
• Read the notes on pages 6 & 7
• Scan, highlight, and read scenes 1-5. Since its a play, you don't need to block off dialogue in green.  Its already done :-) Be prepared to narrate any scene.  Use the glossary and scene notes in the back to help you.  Look up words you don't know and use the Latin glossary in the back to translate Latin passages.
• Find at least one blue. 
• Write a class discussion question for each scene.  Try to vary the invention topics you use to form your questions.

LTW DVDs:

• Watch lesson 3 Invention (Definition I)

Writing:

• Formulate a new issue for The Aeneid.  Start a new ANI chart.
• Identify the terms in your issue
• Use one term from your issue to fill in the definition worksheet on pages 27 & 28 of your Student Workbook.
• Add information from your definition worksheet to your new ANI chart.  Try to get at least 10 points for your ANI using the topic of definition. Define some of the other terms in your issue to get additional points.
• Use the other 4 topics of invention to add to your ANI until you have at least 20 points in each column.
