SEQUENCE OF THE LESSON
Anticipatory Set:

Language pt. A
 Students have sort cards-hold up green for yes, red for no when asked about the word on
the screen
 As a class, translate the sentences
Teacher Input:
 Print adjectives in different declensions on pieces of paper-bold the endings
 Have students hold pieces of paper and the rest of the class will tell them where to stand
according to endings
 Switch students holding cards for 2nd/3rd declension and do the same thing
 Ask students what an adjective does in a sentence (checks for understanding)
 Ask how the students can tell it is an adjective in an English sentence? In a Latin
sentence? (checks for understanding)
 Ask the students what the exception with placement of Latin adjectives is and where the
adjective goes instead? (checks for understanding)
 Go over Word Study from night before-page 49
Lesson Topic(s): Nouns and Adjectives
Grade: 9-12
Cooperating Teacher: Mrs. Sawyer
Student: Sara Van Dyke
Subject: Latin I
Date:3/28/12
Modeling:
 Do the first noun-adjective agreement in Cambridge software to show what they need to
do
 Tell the students what the first ending is when they are reviewing endings as a class so
that they know what I want them to do
Checks for Understanding:
 While having the students put declension endings into order ask following questions:
o What is the nominative case in a sentence? Accusative case? Ablative case?
Dative case?
o How can you tell it is nominative? Accusative? Ablative? Dative?
Independent Practice:
 Students will do WB pages 17 and 18 (14.4 and 14.5)-by themselves or with a partner
 Homework-complete worksheet 14.8 using “Quintus advenit” and study for vocabulary
quiz
Closure:
 Ask the students one thing they will remember now about adjectives and agreement from
today
DIFFERENTIATION
 Visual: using software displayed on LCD, the worksheets, seeing the endings being put in
the correct place, going over homework
 Auditory: hearing the checks for understanding questions, hearing the different endings
as the students are being told where to go, going over homework, working with partners,
hearing the answers with the Cambridge software
 Kinesthetic- moving around while putting endings in the right place
 Social-working with other students to put endings in the right place, working with
partners
ASSESSMENT:
 Informal: answering checks for understanding questions, putting adjective endings into
the right place
