初心者向けラテン語 - ケンブリッジラテン語コース ユニット 1 - パート 3

DESCRIPTION: Upon the completion of this course students will be able to define basic Latin vocabulary of approximately 50-80 words; reproduce paradigms of basic Latin forms; identify the grammatical forms and syntactical functions of Latin words of these nouns, adjectives, and verbs; and translate basic Latin sentences and explain their syntax; begin to compose short sentences in Latin. Each class will introduce a new grammar concept, practice and review previous material, and discuss a cultural theme. Beyond acquiring the skills to translate Latin, students will also be learning about the culture, literature, and history of the Classical world. Their English vocabulary will improve. They will better understand English grammar and syntax. And they will build a foundation for learning other languages, particularly Romance languages. 

PREREQUISITES: Students must have successfully completed Parts 1 & 2 to enroll in this course. OR if the learner has prior knowledge of Latin, they can message me to determine if this course is the right fit for them. 

MATERIALS: This class will use Google docs, Nearpod.com, Gimkit, and Magistrula.com to manage assignments and practice exercises. It will also use “Nearpod” for live classes which encourages student engagement and interaction. This will require students to “join” each live class through a Nearpod code so that they can interact with the slides by answering questions, filling in blanks, and drawing. The textbook is REQUIRED for this course. Please see "learner supply list" for the specific text learners will need.

INDEPENDENT STUDY: since this course only meets once a week there is an aspect of independent studying/practicing. The course is designed as a 1-2 course: 1 day of live instruction and practice and 2 days of independent reading/practice. Students are always encouraged to reach out with any questions that they have about the exercises and readings assigned. Some of these readings and exercises we review in class.

Below is an outline for this course. Everything listed will be covered during this 8-week course, topics are subject to being moved to different weeks when needed. This 8-week course is Part 3 of 4 that completes the entire Cambridge Latin Unit 1 textbook. Upon completion of this class, the next class is "Beginner's Latin - Part 4: Middle School".
