3rd Declension Adjective Practice

In today's class, students will focus on third declension adjectives. We will practice agreeing the third declension adjective to 1st, 2nd and 3rd declension nouns. The learning target is for students to be able to use the adjective and noun charts to make an adjective agree with its noun. (While students are introduced to this topic, mastery of the topic is not expected until Latin 2 and 3 levels.)  

Opening - Students will review the concept of adjective agreement with 1st and 2nd declension adjectives.

Lesson - Students will be introduced to the third declension adjective chart. We will practice agreeing the third declension adjective omnis to nouns of different declensions in Ex. 18c of the workbook on page 120. Students will do independent practice. As a whole class we will read sentences from Activity 18d.

Closing - Students will review Chapter 18 Vocabulary.
