Course Description: This class is the second half of the accelerated Introductory Latin summer sequence and is usually taken in conjunction with Latin 300 in the previous block. During this block we will begin a deeper look into Latin grammar and syntax with the introduction of advanced forms and clauses, conditional sentences, and the subjunctive mood. After the completion of the summer sequence, students will be prepared to begin reading intermediate-level primary Latin texts with the aid of a dictionary and commentary, and will have the requisite credits to enter second-year Latin courses at the university.
Through your work in the course this term you will demonstrate that you can:
- Read and translate short selections from ancient Roman authors and compose simple sentences in Latin
- Understand and explain the literary, historical and cultural context of texts by ancient Roman authors
- Analyze and explain Latin grammar and syntax
- Analyze and describe the influence of the Latin language on subsequent languages and literatures
Required Texts:
Wheelock’s Latin (7th ed.) — our primary textbook, and the source for both our lessons and practice exercises
Thirty-Eight Latin Stories (6th ed.) — short Latin stories for additional translation practice
Class Schedule:
Please note that the schedule is tentative to change. Be sure to read through the chapter listed before class.
