latin 1 Online High School Course
COURSE LENGTH:
Full Year (30 Sessions)
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This year-long regular-level course will introduce students to the Latin language and Roman history, mythology, and culture. Students will learn the intricacies of grammar and sentence structure, develop a thorough working Latin vocabulary, cultivate their English vocabulary through Latin derivatives, and begin to understand how ancient civilization informs our modern world through study of Roman society and culture. Students will move at a relatively standard pace through the material and be assessed via homework assignments, creative research mini-projects, and open- resource tests. This fundamental knowledge learned in this course will be the foundation needed for all further study in Latin.
