Do Now: translate #1-3 on p. 60 (no dictionary - use context of pictures to work through meaning)
review model sentences (1-6) and focus on relative pronouns
(correct pluperfect mistranslations, but don't dwell on them)
Belimicus ultor:
refresh background - What happened in the last stage with the boat race?
students read 1-5 aloud - how does he feel? how do you know?... white boards and cold calls
Focus on iste Dumnorix me decepit. me in scopulum impulit et praemium iniuste cepit (lines 6-7) - is this really what happened?  
Go back to last paragraph of St. 15 ludi funebres 2 to find evidence for/against his viewpoint
lines 7-8 - what does he decide to do about it? (decorum . . . punire)
lines 9-12 - what do you think his plan will be (we probably remember from last year)?... find out with 13-14
lines 15-20 - read together
lines 21-25 - translate (great practice with infinitive phrases, the pronoun eam (here, "it"), sibi (here, "to himself"))
post-reading Belimicus ultor: "Belimicus ultor" AM worksheet (choose correct ending to each sentence) - from memory
Shift to language... note relative pronouns in the story: quos (line 3), qui (line 4), quas (line 10), quam (line 11)... consolidate
Two final details: give meanings and cases of cuius and cui (treat as separate vocabulary)
Wednesday (Xe/Ar/Rn) only: give back tests and discuss (take them back up)
