Primus Libellus
How to make a tiny origami book of very important Latin terms
Don't do anything to the Primus Libellus handout until you have watched this video. Watch TWICE how and where the maker cuts. If you cut anywhere else your book will fall apart. Maker cuts at the inner fold, HALF way toward the ends of the open sides.
Once you have made your book, turn to the section with the title salutationes et cetera (link)
Each of you will become a play write, using the three columns or pages of salutations et cetera to compose a dramatic dialogue between two people. You can use words and phrases from other parts of the book if you wish. Your dramatic dialogue must be between 10-12 lines long.
Put your dialogue in your Latin Google folder and share the folder with me. On Tuesday we will do casting. If anyone happens to have 16 feet of cloth we could try to make a toga. If you want costumes. I am mostly interested in your scripts.
Watch Scorpio Martianus enact his dialogue to get in a good frame of mind. He plays two parts: a boy and a girl, who is not interested in the the boy. Here is the text of the level 01 conversation from Conversational Latin (author Traupman) which Scorpio Martianus enacts, followed by additional greeting phrases (vocabulary). As your teacher to print out this document for you, using the printer on the teacher's desk.
