LATIN STUDY GUIDE: 4TH – 5TH GRADE
LATIN STUDY GUIDE: 4TH – 5TH GRADE
The final test will test you on the Latin vocabulary we’ve learned as well as on the history we’ve covered. At the end of this packet is a study sheet with all of the words we’ve covered so far and reminders of what you should think about from the history work we’ve done.
On the test, I will have the following types of questions:
1. Vocabulary and Reading Comprehension: I will have a story, written half in English but with Latin words sprinkled in. You will have to fill in the English meanings for the Latin words and then answer questions about the story.
2. Roman Numerals and Dates:
o I will have you write several dates in Latin, including months, dates, days of the week, and years. In the vocabulary story (number 1 above), there will be dates included as well, and you will have to recognize them and understand them in order to answer the questions about the story.
o You will have to solve some simple math problems using Roman numerals, like on our test in February (the pink one…).
3. Minimus: I will have a Minimus style cartoon that I’ve made up, using the words we’ve studied in class. You will have to answer questions about the cartoon, such as, “What is happening in the second box of the cartoon?”
4. Galen: I will have you answer 5 questions about the book, including questions about characters (example: who is ______ and what does he/she do to help Galen and his family?), plot, and the format of the book (example: in what ways does the author tell us about Galen’s world?)
5. Roman Family and Jobs: There will be a short essay question asking you to tell me how Roman families or jobs were similar to and different from their counterparts in the modern world.
6. Hercules: I will have you compare the Hercules stories we’ve learned to another example of a hero story from another culture.
