Latin Alive! Book 3 DVD & CD Set

Description

The DVD & CD Sets are the next best thing to actually taking a Latin class. Or perhaps they're better, since you can rewind and pause each lesson as needed! Although at first glance the price tag seems hefty, the set for Book 1 includes seven DVDs which contain video lessons for all 29 chapters. Although I half-expected author Karen Moore to fly through the lessons and concepts, she steadily and methodically progresses through each lesson, presenting material that complements the textbook beautifully. If you are serious about your Latin study and neither you nor your student has ever taken Latin previously, you will find the DVD/CD set a huge help purely from a pronunciation standpoint. As Karen teaches the lessons, she pronounces all of the Latin example words used. Just the repeated exposure to spoken Latin would be a huge help to a student learning to train their ear and tongue to the pronunciation of words that look – but don't necessarily sound – similar to English.
Publisher's Description of Latin Alive! Book 3 DVD & CD Set

Latin Alive! Book 3 DVD and CD Set includes lessons on Roman culture, myths, and history, as well as Latin readings and exercises that will prepare students for the National Latin Exam and the Latin Advanced Placement Exam. It also features original Latin writings.

Karen Moore continues her excellent Latin instruction in the Latin Alive! Book 3 DVD & CD Set. There are sixteen lessons on the DVD to be watched with each new content chapter in the Latin Alive! Book 3 text. Each lesson is an average of forty minutes, bringing the total length to over nine hours of instruction, taught by an enthusiastic and delightful teacher! The DVD set is highly recommended for homeschoolers or students in independent study. The set also features an audio CD of the Unit Review Latin Readings, so that students can practice proper pronunciation and accent.

Category Description for Latin Alive!

Latin Alive! is a middle school (and early high school) Latin program from Classical Academic Press made for beginners. There will be 3 levels when the revision is complete, each a full school year of study. Chapters are grouped into 5 units, with each unit ending with a reading portion that includes some history of ancient Rome and the world affected by Rome. Students love this part!

The revision largely changed how the content is presented. It now has a less intense, more enjoyable pacing. Parents/teachers have the option to extend exercises or use them in a simpler form. The older and new editions are not compatible. It is important to note that Latin Alive! when done with the additional practice prepares students for both the National Latin Exam and an Advanced Placement Latin course.

Students learn the basics, including classical pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, translating, speaking, and Roman culture and history (in English). Unit review chapters resemble the format of the reading comprehension portion of the National Latin Exam and the multiple-choice section of the AP Latin exam.

Each student will need a consumable Student Edition. You will find classical pronunciation, a complete glossary of vocabulary words, grammar lessons & exercises, sentence translation, multi-sensory exercises, chapter readings, unit reviews, reading helps, historical context, and bonus material. Helpful appendices add convenient references for the student. These are not reproducible.

Whether you are teaching a co-op, classroom, or a student at home, you will need the Teacher Edition*. This includes student pages with answers filled in, a pacing guide to complete a chapter over 8 instructional days (32 weeks), and helpful tips to make you feel more confident as the teacher.

*Assessments (chapter quizzes) are not in the Teacher’s Edition. A Quiz Packet can be purchased separately from www.classicalacademicpress.com . The downloadable packet includes a weekly quiz for each chapter, complete scoring key, and suggested scoring.

Streaming Videos offer weekly 30-minute video lessons with author, Karen Moore. Not only does this help the parent who may not be solid in Latin, but it guides the students in correct pronunciation. You will receive an email with access to these videos. Access is for the life of the product.

Topics covered include:

Book 1: all 5 declensions, present/imperfect/future/perfect/future perfect tense, personal pronouns, roman numerals, nominative/vocative/accusative/genitive/ablative case, interrogative sentences, appositives, irregular verbs, The Trojan War, Descendants of Aeneas, Death of Caesar, and more!

Book 2: thorough review of grammar in Book 1, dative/locative case, comparisons, adverbs, time expressions, irregular verbs, mood, negative, voice, indicatives, pluperfect and future perfect, review of sentence patterns, In Catilinam, Caesar’s Eulogy, Battle of Actinum, Pax Romana, Claudius, and more!

What’s different in the 2024 revision?

  • Some chapter readings have been shortened
  • More, and longer exercises to practice grammar and reading added (to be used at the teacher’s discretion)
