Grade School Beginning Latin, Part Two with Olivia Jones
Recorded course taught by Olivia Jones for Grade School Latin
Summary

Instructor Access is available for this course! for $69

It is recommended that the parent watches the weekly class, so they can best assist students in making materials and doing memory work.

Course description: Students will continue their introduction to basic Latin speaking and reading skills through fun activities and homework assignments. By the end of the semester, students will have cemented and expanded their previous abilities to read a short Latin passage, answer comprehension questions in Latin, and sustain a 5-minute Latin conversation. In addition to the map of the Roman Empire, students will learn about the Roman household in order to write a cartoon dialogue entirely in Latin by the end of the semester. This course will prepare students for beginning middle school Latin with any Latin curriculum. We will explore mainly Ecclesiastical pronunciations.

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.

Homework

HOMEWORK:

Each week, I labeled the assignments by the days of the week (Monday, Tuesday, etc.) as a suggestion. Follow this if you want clear daily tasks and/or a four day per week school schedule!

On average, students should spend 30-45 minutes outside of class on homework per week.
