Description

Book 2 provides the last year of Logic stage Latin. The student will review material from Book 1 learning more complex grammatical concepts and digging deeper into verbs and moods as well as expanding knowledge of pronouns, adjectives, and nouns. The student will acquire the tools to begin to translate increasingly unadapted Latin texts.

Publisher's Description of Kraken Latin 2: Latin for the Logic Years Student Book (2nd Edition)

Students in the logic stage (grades 6-8) are no longer content just to memorize chants and vocabulary -- they are ready to master the systems that make Latin the most approachable of the classical languages, and to dive into the stories.

Kraken Latin 2 contains thirty-two weeks' worth of clear teaching on deponents, impersonal verbs, subjunctives and much more. It includes weekly worksheets and readings, English-to-Latin and Latin-to-English glossaries, reference charts for each lesson, fun activities, and much more. As she walks students through important grammar, Natali H. Monnette helps junior high students towards reading "real" Latin by integrating adaptations and translations from the Vulgate, Roman history, fun original stories, and classical myths.

If you're an older student wanting to advance from elementary studies or just to begin the study of Latin, Kraken Latin 2 was written for you. Face the beast. Learn its grammatical wiles. Master the kraken.
