Latin Camp 4 is an ongoing, 16-week course for Latin students with a focus on grammar and sight reading.
Class experience
US Grade 7 - 10
See the bottom of this description for prerequisite knowledge before enrolling in this camp, which consists of 16 weekly classes. It is still a beginner's course - grammatically speaking, but the material is much more complex than the Latin 1, 2, & 3 camps. This camp will be busy. This is the last camp as a "beginner." We will be working on the intricacies of Latin grammar: cum clauses; irregular, special, and deponent verbs; comparative and superlative adjectives; the formation of adverbs;...
Students will finish this course with the grammatical knowledge to enter intermediate Latin courses. They will be well-versed in parsing words and sentences, sight reading, intuitive translating. They will have experienced Roman history, mythology, and culture. They will have an excellent grasp on grammar that will translate to a variety of languages (primarily English, Greek, German, Spanish, Italian, French, and Portuguese). Latin Camps 1 - 4 prepare the student and give them the tools to be able to take the AP Latin Examination, and be reading for college-level Latin.
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 assigned. Homework is practice for the student and helps them retain the material they are learning. Students who do their homework often prove to progress easier in the Latin courses than those who don't. I don't get fussy about the homework, though. I am extremely aware that many of my students have an excess of schoolwork and may not have the time to devote to it. Because of this, I always go over any assignments in the following class, if necessary. One thing that is imperative for them to do is to keep a Latin notebook (paper or digital, whatever they prefer). They will need it to write declension and conjugation charts, as well as vocabulary words. They will need it to practice parsing words and sentences.1 - 2 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
I send weekly assessments to the family.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. 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 edit all external media so that it is age appropriate. I make certain all Latin translations are free from profanity and mature or adult themes. However, the Romans were an earthy, violent, and militaristic people. There is talk of betrayal in love and war, conquering enemies, slavery, polytheism, and a general violent bent to some passages and history discussed. I treat this with an unbiased historical lens and make certain to pay attention to my students' sensibilities. If we need to curtail a topic or move on, we do. Any personal pictures/videos and/or any YouTube video is strictly informational and education and has no age rating, nor is any external account necessary for the student.
I draw from Wheelock 7th edition text, Lingua Latina Pars 1 & 2, 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 & LIS as free online sources (dictionaries). We use my own personal pictures/videos and a YouTube video (edited for age appropriateness) for our Roman culture classes. They have no ratings as both are for educational purposes. No external account is necessary for the student.
