Latin Language & Roman Culture: Cambridge Latin 1, Stages 5-8
Class experience
This class utilizes the Cambridge Latin Course for its accessible delivery of vocabulary and grammar as well as its depiction of colorful and engaging characters from a key period in the Roman Empire. The goal is not only to give students a solid foundation in the basics of the Latin language, but to engage them so they will retain their knowledge of Roman language and culture and seek to build on it further. This course builds on knowledge gained in Stages 1-4 of Unit 1 of the Cambridge...
Students will expand their basic Latin vocabulary of nouns, verbs, and prepositions, thereby enriching their English vocabulary. Students will understand subject-verb agreement in Latin sentences and will become familiar with singular and plural noun and verb forms as well as simple and superlative adjectives. Learners in this course will deepen their awareness of Roman culture, especially in the areas of theatre, the slave trade, and gladiatorial spectacle.
By the time I received my degree in Philosophy and Classical Studies, I had gained skills in four languages and a passion for two of them: Latin and Ancient Greek. In over a decade of teaching Latin, my proudest achievement is the number of students who go on to pursue their own studies in the language through the college level. Each year I have prepared classes to take the National Latin Exam, and each year my students have been rewarded with certificates of outstanding achievement and ribbons for perfect scores. What means so much more than the awards and scholarships, however, is the enthusiasm they express for diving into a subject that is too often dismissed as a "dead language." A treasured memento from one of my classes is a drawing made by a student with the caption: "Latin never, ever, EVER dies!" My goal in teaching it is to ensure that my students' love of it never dies, either.
