Average rating:4.9Number of reviews:(227)
In this course for continuing students of Latin, we will read chapters 4 through 6 of Hans Orberg's Lingua Latina: Familia Romana in depth, studying grammar and vocabulary along the way.
Class experience
This class is designed for students continuing in their study of Latin. Still using Hans Ørberg’s entirely Latin text and workbook, students will expand their understanding Latin grammatical forms and structures. In developing their foundation of Latin grammar and vocabulary, students will strengthen their grasp of the English language as well. Prerequisite: Introduction to Latin Outschool course (with Larissa Laver) or equivalent. Please email the instructor if you’re unsure if your...
Homework Offered
Students can expect to do some combination of reading or exercises (all in the textbook) in between each class meeting. Approximately 1-2 hours per week in addition to class time.1 - 2 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
I’ll generally be checking assignments and translations orally with a few responses from each student per class, but no formal assessments are given in this class. I’m always happy to provide more individualized feedback upon request. I do also provide optional tests for students to take outside of class time - completely optional! Students can check their vocabulary retention with Quizlet games and Quizlet LIVE in class.Grades Offered
Two books are required for this course: 1) A copy of Hans Øerberg’s textbook Lingua Latina Per Se Illustrata: Pars I Famila Romana, available here: https://www.amazon.com/Lingua-Latina-Illustrata-Pars-Familia/dp/1585104205/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=lingua+latina+per+se+illustrata&qid=1588349771&sr=8-3 2) A copy of the accompanying Exercitia Latina workbook, available here: https://www.amazon.com/Exercitia-Latina-Exercises-Familia-Romana/dp/1585102121/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1OC3X0H06Z5XZ&keywords=exercitia+latina&qid=1649275538&sprefix=exercitia+latina%2Caps%2C127&sr=8-1 I receive no benefits or commissions from your purchase of these texts.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
The number “six” in Latin is “sex” (as in sextuplets or a sextet). Some students may chuckle at this. In the past I’ve simply encouraged students to get their giggles out the first time they see it, and then get over it, it’s just the number six. In eleven years I’ve had no real issues with this word/method. The family in the textbook keeps slaves, and they are prominent characters in the story. This was a part of Roman culture historically, and I include a brief discussion of what slavery was like in the Roman world, especially as it contrasts to more modern pre- Civil War slavery in America. The way the textbook teaches direct object accusative is with a fistfight among the children in the story. The title of the chapter is "the bad boy" so there's no defending his behavior, and I always make mention of how he could really use some sit-down-with-an-adult-and-talk-it-out sort of help to manage his stress rather than hitting a little girl for singing. At the end of the chapter, the girl who gets hit is sad because her brother, the one who hit her, is being punished and is hurting. I always emphasize that as a heartwarming story of compassion - even though he just hurt her for no good reason at all, she sees her brother crying and is sad for him. To me, that is beautiful and the sort of kindheartedness the world could use more of!
