Continuing our study of the Classical World, this / /class is for those students having completed Latin I at PREP Classes, either / /online or on-campus. This is a full year?s foreign language study earning / /students 1 high school credit.
/ /
 
/ /
We will attempt to finish Henle?s First Year Latin, however the goal of this class is mastery.  Should we need to pause and review for better command of the material, we will.  Likewise, if we are able to proceed at a quicker pace, we will do that also.  / /Study will focus on relative pronouns, subjunctive mood, infinitives, irregular verbs, / /additional ablative uses, along with some special type constructions peculiar / /to Latin.
/ /

 

/ /

English grammar will continue to be discussed and / /analyzed as we examine how Latin works in comparison.  Students will / /receive each week's homework via email and can expect to spend about 45 to 60 / /minutes each weekday completing assignments.

/ /

 

/ /

All content and discussions are / /positioned from the Christian worldview.

We will / /meet online from 9:30 - 11am (Central) each Thursday in a virtual classroom at / /WizIQ.  Students and instructor will / /interact with each other in real time.  / /The instructor will use the provided whiteboard and many other tools / /available in the classroom to conduct the class.  A student may ask questions and respond to / /prompts by ?raising his/her hand? and either speaking into the microphone or / /typing into the chat box on the page. 

/ /

 

/ /

Most weeks / /a video lesson will be released on Mondays with the associated homework, and on / /Thursdays we will review the work together, discuss the grammatical elements, / /and go over students? specific questions.  / /This will provide more time for all of us to interact with the language.

/ /

 

/ /

Students / /will need access to a computer with high-speed internet, as well as a headset / /with a built-in microphone.

/ /

 

/ /

Weekly / /assignments will include a number of exercises that practice the concepts / /covered in that week?s class, as well as a short weekly composition / /assignment.  Students will be asked to / /participate in a class discussion each week; this will entail answering a / /specific question posted by me, and giving feedback to another student. This is / /designed to get students thinking about how to remember and apply the Latin / /grammar to their work.  Students can / /expect to work approximately 45 to 60 minutes each day on their Latin homework.

/ /

 

/ /

Special / /opportunities for extra-curricular contests will be made available to / /students.  These will include the / /National Classical Etymology Exam (NCEE), the Classical Literacy Exam (CLE), / /and possibly others.  Students are / /encouraged to take the National Latin Exam (NLE) through a local organization / /that administers it.  All these contests / /are listed with the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP) / /and are beneficial on a student?s high school transcript.
