Henle Latin Syllabi From Mother Of Divine Grace

Description

If you like the idea of using Henle for high school Latin but feel you need some structure, these syllabi from Mother of Divine Grace School are what you are looking for. Providing 32 weeks of daily lesson plans as well as weekly quizzes and quarterly exams, the plans are specific (do exercises _____ on pp _____) and thorough while detailing chart and vocabulary card preparation and review. Students can expect to spend one hour per day on the lessons which include vocabulary, grammar, chants and exercises. Making vocabulary cards, declension and conjugation charts and compiling a Latin notebook is considered fundamental. Chant charts are recommended and can be either purchased from Emmanuel Books or made by the student. Exercises may be done orally, as written assignments, or even as tests but the student is expected to complete all the exercises. There is no copyright information in these books, but the blank quizzes and tests appear to be reproducible for single family use. Answer keys are filled-in versions of each. There are also blank conjugation and declension charts which appear to be reproducible. Each syllabus represents one high school credit. Grading charts for both 1st and 2nd semester are also provided. Coil-bound, 200 pgs, pb. ~ Janice
