Grade School Intermediate Latin, Part Two
Live course taught by Olivia Jones for Spring 2025 Grade School Grade School Latin
Summary

Join us for Part Two to prepare for future academic studies in a fun way and find the joy in learning something new! 

 

Course description: This course continues where GS Intermediate Latin, Part One ended. Students will develop Latin speaking and reading skills, especially immersion reading, wherein what they know of the language is used to isolate and figure out what they don’t know. At the end of the semester, they will have a creative composition project, which will engage their ability to output Latin as well as input it. This course will prepare students for beginning middle school Latin with any Latin curriculum.




Instructor: Olivia Jones

Special notes

It is recommended that the parent sits in on the weekly live class so they can best assist students in making materials and doing memory work. If a parent is not available during the live class, they can watch the recording the next day.

This is Part Two of a two-part course. Students may be accepted midyear with instructor permission (email homeschoolconnections@gmail.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).

Homework

 Students will be expected to spend 20-30 minutes every school day (the same as GS Intermediate Latin, Part One) making or studying vocabulary flashcards, completing reading assignments, and taking online quizzes. The instructor will provide example flashcards and pronunciation videos. Additionally, students will teach and practice basic conversational skills with parents (or knowledgeable siblings). Once per semester, students will submit a creative project.
