We began the lesson by rereading Capitulum Tertium lines 69-82 together off the board. We last read this section of the chapter together in lesson 23 (see Lesson 23). Once again, I asked the students to provide English translations of the sentences containing relative pronouns. The illustrated version of Chapter 3 can be found here.
2a. We now did an activity named Suspicax (Suspicious). Suspicax is designed to drill the use of the relative pronoun in increasingly complex sentences, modelled only on sentences seen in Capitulum Tertium. The questions, along with a space to write an answer, are provided on a worksheet (all worksheets are available here). The five slides that the students look at to answer the questions can be found here. There is a slide for each ‘ludus’.
2b. We played through all five ‘ludi’, one at a time. The method we used was the same for each ‘ludus’. We looked at the slide and determined what was being said. Then we looked at the questions on the worksheet. We studied the example question(s), and ensured that these were understood by all. Then students wrote answers to each question in that ‘ludus’, modelled on the sample answer(s). Once that was done, we marked that ‘ludus’ together before moving on to the next one.
3. Finally, students were given time to reread the lines 69-82 of the textbook on their own.
