Campamento de verano de entrenamiento de latín 1

This class is for students who want to keep Latin skills fresh over the summer and grow stronger in one or more areas of grammar/vocabulary. It is also a good refresher course in preparation for further study in the fall. Students should own and have completed Unit 1 of the Cambridge Latin Course, either with me, with another instructor, or through independent study.

Each week we build up expertise in a different topic. Cultural background, including video segments, will strengthen interest, engagement, and retention. Student input will help determine the balance between structured exercises, mnemonic devices, ancillary materials, and one-on-one challenges. Student input will also help guide specific emphasis on grammar topics. The general outline plan is:
 
WEEK 1 - basics of sentence structure, parts of speech, and cultural context.
WEEK 2 - verbs in the present, perfect, and imperfect tenses.
WEEK 3 - noun cases (nominative, dative, accusative).
WEEK 4 - pronouns, interrogatives, and more complex grammatical structures such as intransitive verbs with dative and comparative adjectives.
ALL WEEKS - new material about characters and historical themes, providing richer perspective on the lives of Caecilius, his family, and the other residents of Pompeii.
