For any given class period, the assignment(s) listed under the date should be prepared for that class; so, for example, you will be expected to come to class on Tuesday, February 9, having prepared In Verrem I.1-2. Please note that “prepare” does NOT mean “write out a translation” – in fact, you are expressly forbidden from writing out a translation to bring to class. “Prepare” means to make grammatical notes (identify person, number, tense, voice, and mood of verbs; gender, case, and number of nouns, adjectives, and participles; etc.), mark your Latin text with syntactic and structural aides (parentheses to sequester clauses or phrases, arrows to indicate possession or modification, underlines, circles, etc.), and note down unfamiliar vocab or conjugations or declensions. Writing out a translation means that you’re not actually doing the work of understanding how the Latin works, which is infinitely more important than coming up with a “perfect” translation.
