Thanks to Carol for noting that G&M only has 38 chapters, as the corresponding chapters in Wheelock are merged into the first story. I’ve updated the schedule to use the names of the stories, rather than chapter numbers.
are we to translate each story
Hi Thomas!
Yes, we will be translating each story. I will be posting the template here and on the latinstudy mailing list. Then you just translate each one using the format in the template. I have put the first and last word (sometimes more than one, if it is ambiguous) so you know where to break the sentences up. Then just email the assignment to latin -at- wazzucougars.org.
