Class experience
Previous Knowledge Required: a working knowledge of English parts of speech and how the parts relate to Latin cases; 1st/2nd/3rd (including i-stems) nouns and 1st/2nd/3rd adjectives (declensions and how to use the cases); 1st/2nd /3rd/4th and esse/posse verb conjugations in the Present System (present, future, imperfect) and the Perfect System (perfect, pluperfect, future perfect); rudimentary vocabulary including common conjunctions and prepositions; demonstrative pronouns (hic/ille/iste and...
Today is about taking what the students know and really using it. We will write sentences. We will parse them. We will take Latin passages and translate them. We will improve your Latin syntax and increase your vocabulary.
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:
All Latin passages are age appropriate.
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). No external account is necessary for the student.

I teach world history/cultures and the languages associated with them. My teaching experience (2005 - present) is varied, as are the ages I have taught. I've taught pre-school children phonics and grammar. I've taught middle-schoolers history,...
