Why Study Latin?
Ever wonder why the interest in studying the Latin language has lasted
throughout the centuries? Go to this page to see some of the many benefits
that the study of Latin entails.
The Latin Classes
This page will contain information about each Latin course offered in the
district. Such information may include long term assignments, test dates, special
projects and anything else which the Latin students and the "Magistrae" feel is appropriate.
Latin Grammar
This link will provide students of Latin with some basic grammar
references including noun and verb charts as well as tips which have been discovered by
Somerset Hill's Latin students over the past several years. Included here
are some of the songs we use in class to help remember the rules, laws and
oddities of Latin grammar.
Latin Study Games
This page will
contain links to the QUIA game site for each
Latin class. On this site you will find games
that students of all levels of Latin can play at home to help prepare for
upcoming quizzes or tests.
Magistra Martin strongly encourages all the
Latin students
to make use of the QUIA pages.
For the Middle School
students, Magistra Martin has listed all the
games that they may need for the entire
year. The High School student games will
be posted as assigned.
Ms. Martin formerly used
these links as a Homework Hotline. Now,
the High School homework will be listed on
Edline (click below). There, Magistra
Martin will place the same bi-weekly assignment
sheets distributes to her classes.
Fun With Latin
Test your knowledge of Latin (and English) on this "just for fun"
page containing puzzles and games.
"Caesar's
Salad"
Visit "CAESAR'S
SALAD" , a list of Magistra Martin's favorite web sites. This site
contains a listing of lots of Latin related web sites. It is a wonderful place for
students to start a research project. It is constantly being updated based upon
input from students in the SHSD Latin Program. ENJOY!
Italy
2006
This page will
contain information regarding a hoped for trip
to Italy during the summer of 2006. A trip itinerary, dates, and all
meeting information will be available on this
page. The exact trip will be announced to
the students once the school year begins. With any
luck, we will be able to travel and see all the
wonders of both the ancient and modern
country. Stay tuned for more information!
Photo Album
It is hoped that this page will contain photos of the Latin class projects during the
year. Sorry, no student photos allowed. It will also contain some photos
of the Roman World taken by Magistra Martin. Visit this page and travel back in
history with our students.
The SHSD Latin site has been constructed and designed by Magistra Martin.
It was inspired by the Latin pages at the Cambridge Rindge & Latin School
in Cambridge, Ma. Many thanks to Pauline Demetri and her students there for
developing such an in-depth and inspirational site!
