In Book Two, the readings are less "adapted" to match the student's growing skill. Colloquāmur sections provide questions and responses in Latin, with the question translated into English. Students can use their knowledge of Latin and clues from the questions and responses to determine the English translation to the response. Additionally, they can use these as conversation practice in Latin. Culture Corners provide a dash of Roman culture and history to learning the language. In Derivative Detective, students dig into the English language to find the Latin origins of words and phrases. Occasionally a Latin in Science tidbit is also included, where students see how the Latin vocabulary they are learning has found its way into science vocabulary. I also like how every lesson begins with one of the state mottoes and seals which is also translated into English.
