III. Discuss John Lockes theory that the human mind is blank as a tabula rasa at birth. Do you think nature or nurture is more important in shaping a persons character? A sample answer is below. Before John Locke, most people believed that a persons character and intelligence were determined at birth by his genetic heritage. Locke, on the other hand, believed that character and intelligence were determined by experience and environment. It seems clear that both genetic heritage (nature) and environment (nurture) are important in human development.

Here are the three mottoes of the United States. Translate all three mottoes. e pluribus unum = one out of more, one out of many annuit coeptis = He (God) has nodded at (our) undertakings, He (God) has favored our undertakings novus ordo seclorum = new world order
Now, pick one of the three mottoes, and write two sentences telling why this phrase ts our country. Sample answers are below. 1. E pluribus unum meant a stew or soup, and it ts our country which is home to people of many different backgrounds. It also reminds us that we have many ( pluribus) states and one (unum) federal government. Annuit coeptis ts the United States because we have not nished building our nation.

The word coeptis is related to the Latin verb coepi which means begin, and the phrase on the dollar bill is on top of the unnished pyramid, a symbol of our government as an unnished project. Novus ordo seclorum ts the United States because North America is part of the New World. Our democratic system of government was something new in world history.

Additional Games
Docendo discitur means one learns by teaching, but some students learn best by playing a game. Here are four favorites that work well with sententiae, abbreviations, or mottoes: 1. Charades can be fun, and if the class works in teams, you can make a contest out of a review session of sententiae, abbreviations, or mottoes. It is a good idea to take a few minutes for students to plan the skits and to agree on the rules before they start to play. Pictionary is another good way to help everyone learn a group of new phrases or mottoes. Jeopardy takes planning, but pairs of students can write a group of questions in each category (e.g. state mottoes, common abbreviations, sententiae that have to do with legal expressions, etc.). One student in each pair should write the answer in large letters on notebook paper. A designated student can organize the questions and tape them in categories to the board in the classroom. Another student, or the teacher, can read the questions aloud to three volunteers while someone else keeps score. Do not forget to include daily doubles and nal round questions. Bingo can be another good way to review. After the class has covered twenty-ve sententiae, abbreviations or mottoes, photocopy the blank bingo cards on the next page so that each student will have at least one card. Instruct the students to ll in the squares on the bingo card with the twenty-ve Latin phrases in whatever order they choose. Keep a list of the English meanings. Cut the list of English meanings into small squares and put them in an envelope for the caller. Use bingo chips or small candies for markers. Play rst for a straight line, then for full house.

Additional Activities
1.
Sententiae, abbreviation, or motto badges: Each week have students make badges for themselves with a favorite sententia, motto, or abbreviation in Latin. Have them use bright markers and wear them around school. At the end of the week, put all the badges on a classroom bulletin board and use them for a quick, oral review. You may want to make a badge for yourself each day.
2.
Motto map: If you have a large map of the United States on your classroom bulletin board, you can add labels with the Latin motto of each state as you present them each week in class. A student can type a key with the name of each state, its Latin motto, and the translation.

N.B. These questions are designed to be asked orally of students who are taking a Latin language course. You might begin by asking students to look at the sententiae as they are listed in Appendix #1. Make sure that they remember how to translate each expression. Have students keep the list out so they can see the Latin word or phrase when you ask the grammar question(s). Some of the questions cover topics like deponent verbs, gerunds, and hortatory subjunctive which are usually covered in Latin II.
