A note to parents:
Finding time to thoroughly explain all the details of the weekly assignments in class has been a challenge. Its important that your student have access to the instructions I post on the blog so they know what is expected. I recommend printing a copy of the assignment details for them if they don't have direct access to the blog themselves.
Reading
- Read pages 55 - 64 (scenes 8-10)
- Highlight as usual.
- Narration Preparation Tip: If you suspect you might have difficulty narrating, try writing some character + action notes in the margin. For example, at the beginning of scene 8 a character named Robin appears. After reading his first few lines you might write the following notes in the margin: "Robin stole Faust's book", "R - plans to make ladies dance for him". Notice that either of these notes could be made into an issue: Whether Robin should have stolen the book, Whether Robin should make ladies dance for him. We are reading very slowly, so you can afford to take the time needed to understand what's happening.
- Write one discussion question from the 5 topics for each scene.
DVD
- Watch Lesson 3 elocution (Verb Editing)
Writing
- Complete pages 33-39 in your student workbook.
- Write a new essay from your Lesson 3 outline (template on page 32). Use the checklist on page 213. You will find a sample essay on page 40 of your workbook
- If you are handwriting your essay, please skip lines so you have room to edit.
Bonus assignment: Prepare an exordium for our class essay on whether Aeneas should have carried his father out of Troy. We'll vote on them and choose a favorite. I'll have a prize for the winner :-)
