Context:



This lesson is near the end of the unit. The students have learned about the dative case
and how it functions in a Latin sentences.
Up to this point the students have learned all of the main noun endings and their uses in
sentences.
Students will continue to build on their understanding of the dative case and how it is
used when it comes to sentence structure.
Objectives:


SWBAT identify and explain the dative case in a sentence.
SWBAT explain how Latin words came into Latin and define and explain the different
Latin phrases found in English today.
Activities:




Students will have their final vocabulary quiz for the unit.
As a class we will go over exercise 22 F which the students did as homework for the class
period.
As a class we will read and discuss pages 196-197 in the Ecce Romani textbook. This
will show the students how Latin words came into English and will introduce the students
to common Latin phrases that are found in English today.
Students will work with their shoulder partners to go over a review sheet that will discuss
the different concepts that the students will be tested on for their unit test.
Assessment:


Students will be tested on how well they understand the dative case and how it functions
in a sentence in their upcoming test.
Students will be tested on the word study of how Latin words go into English and the
common Latin phrases found in English today.
Rationale:


Students need to learn what the dative case is and how it functions because students will
have to understand what it is and how it works before moving on to more difficult
grammar concepts. By understanding what the dative case is and how it functions
students will be able to take that concept and use it when looking at Latin. By students
learning and understanding this it will be an important stepping stone when it comes to
learning more difficult concepts in the future.
Students will need to have a good understanding of how the Latin language came into
English and understand the fact that there are still many common Latin phrases that are
used in English today. This will help to show the students that Latin is not a dead
language and that the reason why we go over the English derivatives is to show that most
of the English language comes from Latin.
Academic Language:

Dative Case- is a specific case that nouns can be in. The dative case looks very similar to
the ablative but it functions as an indirect object in a sentence. A sentence that has an
indirect object would be: I gave a gift to the girl. To the girl is the indirect object in this
sentence.
Adaptations/Diverse Learners:

Students will be grouped up with people of varying skill level. Students who are more
advanced will be grouped up with people who are at a middle skill level and those will a
lower level. This way students who have an understanding of what is happening will be
able to try and explain it to the ones who aren't understanding it. By having the advanced
students work with the middle and lower students they will be forced to see if they can
explain what is happening in different ways and let them explore the meaning more.
Students in the middle and lower levels will be able to ask more questions and get the
specific help that they need.
Materials:

Ecce Romani textbook, a computer and a projector, a whiteboard, Latin test review sheet
Management Goal:
● I will keep the students on task by asking them questions as we are going over the
different sentences. This will force the students to be on task and ready to answer
questions.
● If students are talking about things that are not relevant to the topic of conversation I will
ask them to go back to talking about Latin or English they are working on. I will also
reward students who are able to get their task done before the end of class by allowing
them to talk quietly amongst themselves after they have finished.
● By giving the students the opportunity to work in a group it should allow for them to be
able to communicate with each other but still be on topic for what they are learning.
Preparation for Learning:

Students will start the class period of by completing the last vocabulary quiz for the unit.
This will help to get the students thinking about Latin and will help get them focused on
looking at how English words come from Latin and the different Latin phrases that are
found in English today.
Presentation, Integration and Application of Information:
Instructional Strategy:
Vocabulary Quiz: Students
will take their 3rd and final
vocabulary quiz for this unit.
Purpose:
By having students take vocabulary quizzes it
will keep the students accountable for keeping
up on learning their vocabulary and will allow
for me to see what needs to be worked on.
Time:
5-10 min
Going over exercise 22F.
Students were assigned to
complete exercise 22 F as
homework. As a class we will
go over the answer to this
exercise and answer any
questions that came up when
completing the assignment.
Word Study: As a class we
will read aloud and go over
the word study on pages 196197.
The rest of the class period
students will be allowed to
work with their shoulder
partner or small group to work
on a Latin review sheet that
will give them practice for
their upcoming test.
This will allow for the students to see what
they need to work on before taking the test. It
will also give the students a chance to ask any
questions that they have about the new
concepts.
10 min
This word study shows the students how Latin
words are turned into English words and
different Latin phrases that are common in
English. By having the students read and
discuss this it will give them a better
understanding of the importance of learning
vocabulary words and how Latin came into
English.
By having students work on the Latin review
sheet it will give them a chance to practice
what is going to be on their upcoming test. By
having the students work in groups it will
allow for them to ask any questions that they
have and will allow for them to work on
figuring out the answers together.

Assessment:


Students will have a test at the end of the unit that will have them find and explain the
dative case in different sentences.

Closure:

I will ask the class if they have any questions about anything that we had been working
on during the class period. I will answer any questions that they had. I will remind the
students to keep reviewing the concepts that we have been going over for this chapter
because they will have test on it in the near future.
