Fourth Form Latin

Description: Fourth Form Latin completes the journey of Latin grammar started in First Form Latin. Fourth Form continues to employ the identical format of First Form Latin, with new grammar presented systematically in order to facilitate retention and understanding. The extensive workbook exercises ensure skills mastery and rapid recognition. There is a complete review of all grammar and vocabulary taught in the previous years, with new content. New content includes relative and indefinite pronouns, deponent verbs, irregular verbs, participles, gerunds, gerundives. There is a heavy emphasis on practicing and honing translation skills, new syntax, and various Latin idioms, so that by the end of the class students will be prepared to read Latin authors in the original language. Students will need to devote 60 minutes per day for this class. The grade is based on participation, weekly quizzes, and a final exam. The class is interactive and students will be called upon to recite in class. For information on the content covered see the Fourth Form Latin table of contents here. This class is worth 1 high school credit.

Prerequisites: Completion of First, Second, and Third Form, or the equivalent.

Required Materials: Fourth Form Latin Text, Student Workbook, Answer Key, Pronunciation CD, and the Henle Latin I Set. Students will also need a USB headset microphone (built-in microphones also work).
