Course Description:
We will be using Visual Latin, which is a videobased course, this year. Expect to watch 3 short videos and complete homework each week. We will go over homework in class (so be sure the student can view their homework while on appear.in), and have weekly quizzes.
Each week’s videos will cover English grammar, Latin grammar, and a simplified Bible passage for translation. Some lessons have a fourth worksheet for older students, which will be optional.
Visual Latin I contains 30 lessons, and I would like to cover the majority of them. However, the EOA school year is 24 weeks long, so expect some assignments on of weeks.
** For High School Students: Visual Latin is highschool credit-worthy IF you add Lingua Latina (listed below) starting in the 2nd semester. Lingua Latina is a book teaching Latin written entirely in Latin.
Required Resources:
- Visual Latin I (30 lessons) by Dwayne Thomas — available as DVDs, downloadable videos, or video streaming from Compass Classroom. The workbook can be downloaded as a PDF and/or purchased.
Optional Books/Materials:
- Optional (free) readers are available on the publisher’s website (Compass Classroom). Lingua Latina by Hans Orburg (either the newer color version or the older black & white version). Recommended for those seeking high-school credit. Quizlet, ANKI, or other option for reviewing vocabulary and forms.
