Recitation!• A recitation is a quick assignment that lets you

practice pronouncing Latin.• It is a summative grade.• You read it to me one-on-one.• We practice in class. You can write notes on

your copy to help you pronounce words.• You can also record me reading it to listen to

playback.• When you read it, you must read from a “clean”

Latin copy…no notes.• Yes, you can try as many times as you’d like!

Mica, mica, parva stella,

Miror quaenam sis tam bella.

Splendens e minus in illo,

Alba velut gemma caelo.

Mica, mica, parva stella,

Miror quaenam sis tam bella!
