Saving time: GRAMMAR

Component 1: GRAMMAR: a PROVOCATION

The CASES:

  • What do they do?
  • Does it make sense to start with the most complex one?

The dog bit the man. The man bit the dog.

HAHAHA What do you mean the man is the subject? How dare you! My dog is not an object!

Saving time: GRAMMAR

Component 1: GRAMMAR: a PROVOCATION, or is it?

The CASES:

  • Why does the rest of the world go “nominative, genitive, dative…”?
  • Why not use the help of English itself first?

Who is this? Quis est? The master’s friend. Amicus domini.

Saving time: LITERATURE

Component 2: Time-saving IDEAS: Use a TEMPLATE (see hand-out)

Point 1: LATIN quote: ………………………………………………………………………………….. ………………………………………………………………………………….. ………………………………………………………………………………….. ENGLISH translation of the Latin quote: ……………………………………………………………………………. …………………………………………………………………………… ……………………………………………………………………………… This quote gives evidence in answer to the question in that ………………………………………………………………………….. ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… This is a style / content point (delete as appropriate!)

Saving time: LITERATURE

Component 2: Time-saving IDEAS: a TEMPLATE filled in sample:

Point 1: LATIN quote: Totam … Romam circus capit ENGLISH translation of the Latin quote: ‘The circus holds the whole of Rome’. This quote gives evidence in answer to the question in that Juvenal exaggerates by saying that the circus holds the whole of Rome, not just part of the population. We know this to be impossible because, although the capacity

  • f the Circus Maximus was very large (250 000 spectators), this would not have allowed for everyone to be
  • present. Also, there would have been people who were not interested in or were prevented from attending.

This is a style / content point (delete as appropriate!) Point 2: LATIN quote: Totam … Romam circus capit ENGLISH translation of the Latin quote: ‘The circus holds the whole of Rome’. This quote gives evidence in answer to the question in that Juvenal places the word ‘totam’ in a clearly emphatic position at the very beginning of the line. This draws our attention to the main point he is trying to make in this line – how popular the races were, in this case so popular that everyone was present (which in itself is an exaggeration). This is a style / content point (delete as appropriate!)
