Magnum Opus Academy: Week 31-TOG

History: This week the main thread of the history was the transformation from the Roman Republic to the Roman Empire and some of the major people from this period.

Literature: Annsley is reading Outcast and Seth started Benjamin's Secret Journal.

Dictation: Dictation this week was famous Roman sayings, including Veni Vedi Vici from Julius Caesar.

Memory: This week we are memorizing a few lines from the Marc Antony speach in Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. I was going to have them do more, but this was all I felt we could reasonably tackle this week:

Friends, Romans, countryment, lend me your ears;

I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him;

The evil that men do lives after them,

The good is oft interred with their bones,

So let it be with Caesar...The noble Brutus

Hath told you Caesar was ambitious:

If it were so, it was a grievous fault,

And grievously hath Caesar answered it...

Writing: This week we wrote about Julius Caesae. We will continue to use the IEW, unit 4 type writing for the rest of the year.

Bible: The focus this week was on the parables of Jesus and we read Matthew 13-25, making a lapbook of some of the parables. The kids actually wrote the parables in their lapbooks in Spanish as their Spanish assisgnment this week.

Evaluation: The kids did the matching quiz on Roman leaders.
