| Description | Continuing study group - open to new participants with permission of instructor. MUST have completed Latin 1A, Oxford Book 1 or equivalent. This study group will start approximately at the beginning of Ecce Romani 1B (depending on those who sign up). Study group format is straightforward. New translations are reviewed with attendant grammar lessons reinforced. Homework is not collected, but any problems or misunderstandings are reviewed; this can be done privately if a participant is struggling with concepts that are more personally challenging than an issue for the group as a whole. There may be some games and activities. Homework includes translating new material that has been introduced at the end of the meeting and grammar exercises that can be done online or in the paper workbook. This always involves new vocabulary and often new grammatical constructions. Exercises are assigned in both the text and the workbook as reinforcement of the new and old material. The pace is pretty consistent-essentially one new lesson each week. Participants e-mail or telephone me with questions if needed. At the end of the term, we may perform a skit for members at Voyagers. Participants will be prepared for the National Latin exam, level 1 in March. |
