Today, students will learn 4th declension nouns, two more ablative forms, and how to use a Latin dictionary for research and context.

Class experience

Students will learn the new case endings for 4th declension nouns (masc/fem/neu), the [ablative of separation] and the [ablative of place from which]. They will also learn how to use Latin Wiktionary and the Oxford Latin Dictionary to scour for contextual meanings to translate more accurately. 
I have a bachelors and masters degree in foreign language and history. I have taught and/or tutored this class at various levels and for various ages (middle school to university). I have traveled to and researched in the places I teach about, and I often include realia and cultural information to make the language come alive for the student. Nothing pleases me more than seeing students fall in love with the Latin language! 
Homework Offered
Homework is for YOUR benefit. Study the vocabulary. Make your noun/adjective/verb charts. Practice translations. I provide all the materials you need to work in your dedicated Latin notebook. For every hour of Latin class, you should be studying for - at the very least - two hours (I suggest a little more, but I proudly confess that I am a big old Latin nerd).
1 - 2 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
Informal assessments are sent after class.
Grades Offered
Students need a dedicated Latin notebook (or digital file, if they prefer creating their notebook on their device) for making and studying their vocabulary and noun, adjective, and verb charts. This tool is key to learning and remembering word endings and the meanings of the root words, as well as translating. Always bring this to class!

After class, I will send via Outschool message a copy of the slide show as well as a vocabulary list and translation practice. I can send it in either Office format (docx or pptx), Apple format (keynote/pages), or as Google links (docs/slides). Let me know your preference. 
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
I draw from Wheelock 7th edition text, A Latin Grammar, 38 Latin Stories Designed to Accompany Wheelock, Cambridge Book 1 & 2, Oxford Course 1, Minimus Book 1 & 2, Latin for Beginners, (among others) and my own studies. We use Latin Wiktionary as a free online source (dictionary), and the Oxford Latin Dictionary. No external account is necessary for the student.
