Latin Grade 7

This introductory course focuses on the language and life of the Roman world in the first century, AD. As they research and speak about past events, students discuss the influence of Roman culture and civilization on today’s society. With an emphasis on reading and translating, students learn and develop basic communicative skills. The idea of Latin as a root to Romance languages and its relevance to the English language is elemental to this course.
