Assignment for Sunday, 01-29-17

Dear Intermediate Latinists,

For Sunday, January 29, please do the following:

(1) Homework (due by 11:00 p.m.):

Draw up verb goalposts for the following:

• mix, it;
• finish, they (masc.);
• abandon, you (pl., fem.); and
• teach, you (sing., fem.).

It's okay if you don't draw the goalpost lines, but you will find that using tabs or a table will be both helpful and a good word-processing skill-builder.

The handout I distributed (last term, and just now via email) will be helpful, but for the nuances and variations too subtle to capture on one page, review the relevant portions of Shelmerdine's textbook.

Welcome!

Dear Intermediate Latinists,

Welcome to the blog for CL 210: Intermediate Latin! Here I'll post assignments and other notices, as well as other ephemera pertaining to the study of Latin.

With each post, you'll get an email alerting you to the new content. (You might have to set your spam filter settings to allow these messages into your inbox.) The message will contain the entire post, so you'll have the option of reading it on email or navigating over to the blog.

Similarly, if you'd like to reply to a post, you can either use the "Comments" feature on the blog, or you can reply to the email message you received. Either way, everyone in the class will be able to read your response.

None of this is meant to substitute for in-class interaction. However, since our sessions together will go by quickly, I hope the blog will save us precious minutes here and there.

Again, welcome!
