Latin Language & Culture: Roman Britain & Alexandria (Cambridge 2, Stages 16-17)
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 key periods 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 material taught in my other courses on Units 1 and 2 of the...
Students will expand their command of Latin to include the genitive case of nouns/adjectives and the pluperfect tense of verbs. Cultural background will offer insights into the cultural heritage of Alexandria and juxtapose Roman occupation of Egypt and Britain.
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, 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.

I have been teaching Latin, English, and Social Studies in the classroom and online for more than a decade, and editing/tutoring for even longer. The most important goal for me is to help students find a personal connection with the topic, whether...
