Minimus, 라틴어로 시작하다 | 7-11세 | 1부

OUR CLASS
This FLEX class takes place asynchronously, with no live meetings. Each Monday videos, supplies, and assignments will be posted to get you through the week’s material. Every two weeks we will add 10-20 new words to our Latin Vocabulary List.

The story of Minimus takes place in Vindolanda in Roman Britain. Our classes feature original footage from countless Roman Britain archaeological sights such as: Vindolanda, Chichester, London, Cheltenham, Bath, Chester & more. Let me be your tour guide, as we bring the Roman Empire to life with interactive presentations, and personal tours through these beautiful sites. 

⭐️ Students will take a picture of their assignment to upload to the classroom after completing 
⭐️ Students will be asked to respond to the discussion questions that will be posted in the classroom 
⭐️ Each chapter has two Kahoot quizzes that reviews the vocabulary, grammar, and culture questions 
⭐️ Two weeks are assigned to each chapter to allow students to fully comprehend the material, without rushing
⭐️ I will introduce your little people to BIG words, and how to use them! Such as: Pugnacious, Ludicrous, Diligent, Circumference  

Asynchronous courses are great for students who prefer a flexible schedule!

WHY LEARN LATIN? 
⭐️Latin provides the key to the Romance languages: Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, etc., 
⭐️ Latin helps students on the SATs and other high stakes testing
⭐️ 50-60% of English comes from Latin
⭐️ Latin trains your brain to be detail-oriented
⭐️ Knowledge of Latin improves reading comprehension 

CULTURE
Students will learn about Roman Culture through the life of a family who lived in Roman Britain. Minimus is a great way to prepare for the National Latin Exam. We will also discover famous myths and mythical characters such as Midas, Pandora, Perseus and Medusa

GRASP THE GRAMMAR 
English is one of the most difficult languages to use to learn grammar. Learning Latin will immensely help young learners to understand the parts of speech such as nouns & adjectives and how to identify them in written works in both Latin and English.


WEEK ONE OF EACH CHAPTER 
In week one of our exploration of the chapter, we will review the prior week’s vocabulary, read stories in Latin and learn about the grammar. We will also learn about Vindolanda, Eboracum - the Roman towns where our family lived - and more! 

WEEK TWO OF EACH CHAPTER 
In week two of our exploration of the chapter, we will review the vocabulary from that chapter, read stories in Latin, and explore the culture through Roman Mythology, as well as footage that I have personally shot that shows the communities in which Flavia and Iulius lived. This helps bring the material to life!
