1-2 hours per week. 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). Do your homework because it will solidify this information in your minds. It helps you remember and retain it!Assessment
Informal assessments are sent after class.Class Experience
Previous Latin instruction required: * verbs (ALL the Active Indicative systems + 1st/2nd in the Passive Indicative System) * nouns (declensions 1 - 4) * adjectives (1-3) * know your Latin cases and their grammatical tasks within sentences * several ablative types * personal, possessive, demonstrative, reflexive/intensive, relative, and interrogative pronouns and/or adjectives * know common adverbs, conjunctions, prepositions, and vocabulary * know how to parse a sentence and be able to loosely translate by sight reading (beginner level passages) * if this is your first time with me, I will send you a document pack that includes vocabulary and charts Welcome to Latin 3, Class 1! Today we'll be revisiting the Passive Voice and learning the endings for the 3rd and 4th conjugation verbs. It is quite intensive so this class will be packed with skills to recognize, translate, and utilize these verb forms. If time permits we will also delve into Lingua Latina and do some fun sight reading! This is a very interactive class. We do repetitions, drills, and sight reading. We discuss Roman culture, linguistics, and how Latin still affects many modern languages. I always create a slide show for visual representation. Education is a conversation, and your voice is valued. Please feel free to share ideas, comments, and ask questions! No 3rd party accounts are necessary. We do use the free online resource (Latin Wiktionary) as our dictionary and case-checker! Nota Bene #1: Students should have a dedicated notebook (or a digital one, if they prefer taking notes on the computer) in order to take notes, write their vocabulary, and make declension and conjugation charts. I reserve the right to modify the lesson content according to the student's needs.
Learning Goals
Students will leave the class knowing how to recognize, translate, and read the 3rd and 4th conjugation verbs in the passive voice.
Other Details
Supply List
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. Consider this their textbook/workbook for this course. You can print it out or keep it digitally. 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.

We use Latin Wiktionary as a free online source (dictionary), Latin-Is-Simple (a free online vocabulary/parsing tool), and the Oxford Latin Dictionary.

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).
