LATIN I

Full year - One credit

Because most students who enroll in Latin already have experience in another foreign language, this course begins with a rapid presentation of the fundamental structure of Latin and intense practice in vocabulary, culture and derivation . There is an emphasis on reading development, and students will work individually, with peer partners and in groups. Projects include studies of mythology and Latin derivatives in English. Roman culture is illustrated daily and students have the opportunity to participate in a Saturnalia party and a Roman banquet.
