First, Second, Third, and Fourth Form Latin comprise this mastery-based Latin program from Memoria Press.
The Student Text provides concise, 2-page lessons with a consistent format: a Latin saying, grammar forms and lessons, vocabulary, syntax, and review. Student Text also includes historical notes and photos of current scenes and artifacts. The corresponding Workbook has 4-6 pages of exercises and well-designed drills that guide the student and teacher through the lesson.
The Teacher Manual is a wrap-around text that includes a scripted lesson and grammar “chalk-talk.” It also contains suggestions for incorporating the Lingua Angelica and Famous Men of Rome. Appendices include Latin conversations, prayers and sayings, and a grammar reference. Games and review activities complete the offering. Teacher prep is also spelled out very well: read and reread the teaching guidelines for each lesson, read and reread the student text and teacher manual, and do all workbook exercises. The assumption is that the teacher does not know Latin and is therefore learning along with the student, staying one complete lesson ahead in terms of prep.
Our Text Set includes the Student Text, Teacher Manual, Workbook, Tests & Quizzes, Pronunciation CD, and Workbook & Quiz/Test Answer Key. Complete Sets (choose from discs or streaming audio/video) include all the items of the Text Set plus the flashcards and the instructional DVDs. Desk Charts provide grammar visuals.
