Latin 1

This class begins the development of the four skills of language acquisition in Classical Latin: reading, writing, listening, and speaking. With an emphasis on reading and writing, listening and speaking are given attention sufficient to amplify a general understanding of the Latin language and its relationship to English. This class is designed to teach students methods for comprehending increasingly challenging Latin passages through daily practice in reading, translation, and the study of Latin grammar fundamentals and vocabulary. Students will study the complexities of Latin word order, noun declensions, verbal conjugations, and they will develop a facility with translation and analysis of complex sentences. Additional readings and lectures address early Roman history and myth. Students may be asked to undertake projects which develop the skills of language acquisition through creativity and personal interest. This course is offered at the senior high school level only.
