Course Description:

The Latin 7 curriculum introduces the students to the study of Rome and Latin as an ancient language.  Students use literature and readings from the time of Pompeii to learn and enhance Latin vocabulary and syntax.  Study of the daily life of Pompeii is highlighted by a Roman celebration, or cena where students take on various roles and the attire of the time.  Because there is such a positive connection of Latin to modern English and other languages, consistent emphasis is given to drawing these parallels.  Additionally, the use of archaeology and research is highlighted to enhance the students' knowledge of these techniques and their importance in learning about an ancient society.

The course uses audio-visual resources, computer programs and a hands-on approach to learning.  Successful completion of the 7th grade year is required for enrollment in the 8th grade course of study.

During the course of this year students will be required to research and prepare a 3-5 oral presentation with a 3-demensional visual aid.  Students will be able to select a topic dealing with daily life in Pompeii (the city studied in our textbook).

Prerequisite:  There is no prerequisite for this course.
