Latin I Course OverviewLatin was the language of the ancient Romans. Not only has it left an influential literature, but it also has had far-reaching effects upon both English and the Romance Languages of Europe. The basic introductory Latin course allows students to begin learning classical Latin through the graded reading program of the Lingua Latina Per Se Illustrata text as well as other texts. Students develop their reading skills through a gradual widening of vocabulary and sentence patterns in interesting stories about a Roman family of the first century CE. The stories are based meticulously upon Latin literary sources, Roman history and archaeology. Throughout the course, students study the connection of Latin words with English vocabulary. Additional readings, videos, and discussions complement and enhance the readings.Essential SkillsStudents Will Be Able To...• identify the function of each word in Latin sentence as a means of accurate translation, including all the cases of a noun or adjective, four tenses of a verb (indicative, active), and simple subordinate clauses (including the relatives).
• recognize Latin roots in English words and use them to decipher the meaning of English vocabulary.
• describe the basic aspects of Roman daily life (family structure, civic organization, and modes of entertainment).
• describe the life of a Roman citizen.• relate the most important stories of the Olympian gods and heroes.• track the expansion of the Roman empire throughout history.Course Expectations
