A term paper and a project are required. The objective of sixth grade Latin is to increase the student's awareness of the workings of language in general, using Latin as a vehicle. Drills reinforce grammar concepts, vocabulary, and classical Latin pronunciation. Students develop reading comprehension of simple Latin stories, and guided discovery in translations from English to Latin and Latin to English is a feature of most lessons. The forms, syntax, and vocabulary of Latin are learned in order to help the students grasp certain basic concepts of grammar.
Students also study the culture and civilization of Rome.
As a companion course to Latin 1A, this Cambridge second year course enlarges the student's foundation in the essential grammar and vocabulary of the Latin language. The emphasis of this course is to develop a greater skill in translation and a better sense for the language's unique means of expression. An effort is made to reveal the strong influence of Latin upon English vocabulary. The student is acquainted with Roman literature, life, and history. Students create original monologues and dialogues to reinforce the skills of oral under-standing and communication.
