| Title | Ideas for Practicing Sentence Structure in Latin |
| Body | Here are some ideas for working of properly constructed sentences with students, suggested by LatinTeach listserv users: On strips of cardboard, wrote some simple vocab the kids have been learning. Put magnetic strips on the back. These will stick to just about any white board or even chalkboard. My students are learning the difference between accusative and nominative. One the cardboard strips write the nominative form of the vocab words, "puella,” "insula," a couple of verbs "portat," "portant," and some endings "ae," "as.” Add a couple of adjectives, make sure you have enough endings for the adjectives as well (so two of the am's, etc.). I have two sets of cardboard strips with identical words, etc., in two different colors. Put one color on one side of the board, the other color on the other side. Make up crazy sentences "The good water carries the large islands" and the first team to get the sentence grammatically correct, as well as the vocab correct, gets a point. The team with the most points wins. McCormick-Lane, S. [Latinteach] game today in class. The Teaching of the Latin Language listserv (latinteach@nxport.com, 18 Sept 2007). --- I typed up sentences in Latin and their English translations. I then cut up the Latin word by word and put all the pieces into an envelope. 5 sentences total and using the same words as a direct object in one sentence and the subject in another, etc... The students then take the English sentences and have to reconstruct the Latin. Paul. Re: [Latinteach] game today in class - another. The Teaching of the Latin Language listserv (latinteach@nxport.com, 18 Sept 2007). --- You can do this as a vocabulary review as well. Divide class into teams and prepare 10 envelopes containing vocabulary words cut up. Each team has a sheet numbered 1-10. On cue, groups are given an envelope and try to figure out each word. When they finish one, they turn in envelope and solve another. First to get all correct wins. Ellen. Re: [Latinteach] game today in class - variation.
