Greater emphasis is given to discussion of materials relating to German culture. German 3 Fourth year German continues to develop understanding of speaking, reading, and writing skills. Corrective drills are assigned to individual pupils. The reading program includes representative German literature on the intermediate level in both prose and poetry. Current events as they occur in German as well as the world are pondered through reporting and discussions.
Increased emphasis is placed on cultural information.
A strong emphasis on translation will be evident throughout the year. Woven into the year's course will be units of mythology, Roman history and culture, and the indebtedness of the English language to Latin. While stronger English vocabulary and grammar skills will be developed by the students, a knowledge of Latin is the major benefit of the course. Latin 1 Students will continue to develop the skills gained in Latin 1. A heavier stress will be placed upon translation, with excerpts from Roman authors providing the course content in the second semester.
