Latin III Project “My Verb Book”

Project: Put together a small book of verb synopses with illustrations facing. A synopsis means writing all the forms of a verb in one person or another, for instance 1st singular in all the tense of indicative and subjunctive, active and passive.

There will be a pair of pages for each these: 1st conjugation (20 words + illustration) 2nd conjugation (20 words + illustration) 3rd conjugation (20 words + illustration) & 4th conjugation (20 words + illustration) one page for irregular verbs (10 words + illustration) one page for deponent verbs (10 words + illustration) Since there are six pages and six persons (1st, 2nd, 3rd singular and plural) each page will be dedicated to a different person.

100% All forms are correct, the work is neat, the illustrations are not computer generated nor any clipart, and there is an imaginative, unifying theme. The student’s work will demonstrate an understanding of what has been assigned.

90% Forms are mostly correct but with a few mistakes, the handwriting and artwork show an attempt at neatness of design. There is a unifying theme. The student clearly understands the assignment.

80% There will be more errors here, possibly mistaken conjugations as well as endings, less of an attempt at design.

70% The project will be messier and possibly less than complete, but complete enough for some credit.

50% The project is very incomplete in concept and execution.

0% Project not turned in or too closely identical with that of other students.

DO NOT use the paradigm verbs in your text or Wheelock, except for the irregular verbs – they are more or less “freebies”.
