Grade School Intermediate Latin, Part One
- Summary
-
Embark on an enriching Latin journey tailored for young Catholic learners! Building upon the foundation of GS Beginning Latin, this engaging online course nurtures students' Latin speaking and reading abilities through immersive methods and daily practice. From deciphering Latin passages independently to crafting creative compositions, students will thrive, preparing them seamlessly for the rigors of future Latin lessons.
Course Description: This course continues the fun and the skills gained in GS Beginning Latin. Students will develop more Latin speaking and reading skills but now also utilize their skills to read Latin passages independently. The pace is gentle but requires daily reading. They will practice the immersion method, using what they know of the language to isolate and figure out what they don’t know. Thus, they will gain experience in both how to learn a language and Latin at the same time. At the end of the semester, they will have a creative composition project to allow their language skills to shine in a new way. This course will prepare students for beginning middle school Latin course with any Latin curriculum.
NOTE: Students can complete Grade School Beginning Latin, Parts 1 and 2 through our Recorded Course Library to prepare for this course, but it is not required.
Instructor: Olivia Jones Course materials: Lingua Latina Book 1: Familia Romana by Hans Orberg, ISBN 13: 9781585104208. This book is used for multiple years of grade school Latin and need only be purchased once. Students may purchase a used copy through bookfinder.com.
The students will use all flashcards from GS Beginning Latin again. Please make sure you have them and remake them if you do not. A working microphone is required for this course. Starting on the first day of class, 60 blank flashcards for vocabulary words and terms must be available to the student. Some means of taking pictures of flashcards and uploading them to the course page will be required (this can be as simple as using your mobile phone).
