Capitulum Quartum : Lesson Thirty Three / by Anthony Gibbins

  1. The students began the lesson with exactly 12 minutes of translation time, to translate as much as they could of Capitulum Quartum Scaena Prima.

2. I put the slides for Capitulum Quartum Scaena Prima up on the board. I read each sentence and the students repeated it back to me. At the end I asked the students to hold up a hand with a number of fingers, representing a score out of five for how much they thought they understood. The most common numbers were three and then four. You can find the slides here.

3. We went through Scaena Prima another time. On this occasion I asked the students to point out anything that was new, or that they remembered seeing before but couldn’t remember the meaning of. We clarified the meaning of anything new or not completely understood.

4. Students were asked to read Capitulum Secundum for homework and determine what somebody is asking someone to do if they say “Tace!” or” Discede!”
