A&T = analyze and translate
Analysis procedures:
Noun - declension, gender, case, #, use
Adjective - case, #, gender, noun modified, noun’s use
Pronoun – case, #, gender, use
Participles – tense, voice, participle, case, #, gender, noun modified
Verb - (mood) tense, voice, person, number (use); NS PN/PA DO IO
Infinitives – tense, voice, “infinitive” DO IO
Preposition, adverb, or conjunction - identify as such.
Regardless of whether it’s an N&B/A&T quiz, test, or examination – English word derivatives will be the extra
credit, unless otherwise noted.
Quarter Grade = 80% quizzes/test (1 test = 4 quizzes), 20% Homework completion/Class Participation.
Lowest quiz grade of quarter will be dropped at end of quarter if the student has not missed more than three
