Average rating:4.9Number of reviews:(229)
Students will learn about Roman history, religion, and the Latin language; together we will read Emma Vanderpool's "Sacri Pulli: A Tale of War and Chickens" in Latin.
Class experience
This Latin reading course is designed for students who have already been studying Latin and want to sharpen their skills by reading a historical fiction story about an ancient Roman chicken! The text used, Emma Vanderpool's *Sacri Pulli: A Tale of War and Chickens* is not an instructional grammar text; it is a novella with a glossary of words at the end. In this class students will sharpen their understanding of the following Latin grammar charts: 1st and 2nd declension nouns; 1st...
I have both a BA and MA in fields of Classical Studies, and more than a decade in brick-and-mortar classrooms with students of all ages (quite literally - my students have ranged from age 4 through early 20s and everything in between).
Homework Offered
I always encourage students to spend time in between lessons working on their Latin. Whether that means studying vocabulary on Quizlet, rereading the text from class, or practicing noun declensions is entirely up to the student - the point is to spend extra time working on the material to solidify what we go over in class time.0 - 1 hours per week outside of class

In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
As with many Roman topics and stories of war, phrases like "killing men" occur in this textbook. No graphic descriptions occur beyond this phrase. The text also discusses Roman religion, and I will expand on this with discussion of Roman religious beliefs. As with all Outschool classes, the content is presented from a historical point of view - i.e. this is what the ancient Romans believed and why - but not promoted; the instruction is strictly secular. Any questions that arise with a religious tone will be directed to the learner's parents. For example, student asks "Is Jupiter real?" My answer: "Well, I've never met him myself; but that's a great question for you to ask your parents! I bet they'd love to discuss it with you!" In an event such as this, I will happily also message the parent directly to let them know that a question arose during class. Regarding use of Quizlet: students who wish to play live games in class will need to enter a “nickname” to log into the game; this can be done without a Quizlet account. If anyone wants to study using my Quizlet page outside of class time, they can do so with a free Quizlet account.
