• Latin 1A

     
     
    Welcome to Latin 1A, which is the first half of Latin 1, and will completed when Latin 1B has been completed. This year we will begin the process of learning how to read, listen, speak and write in Latin. We will also be learning about the mythology, culture and history of the Romans. We will learn the basic structure of a Latin sentence and become proficient in writing simple Latin. The textbook stories follow a fictitious family as they live through real historic events. Our Roman family, the Cornelii, experience a variety of situations, which allow students to gain an appreciation of Roman culture and understand its significance in the modern world. Membership and participation in the National Junior Classical League 
    and Latinalia (Latin-day at Syracuse University) are encouraged. We will be using the textbook Ecce Romani Book I and we will be using chapters 1-10 in the textbook.

  • Aeneas Video from Latinalia 2012

    This is the video compiled from submissions from all 6 schools involved in the yearly Latinalia (Latin-Day) at Syracuse University in March. Each school was assigned a portion of the story of Aeneas from the famous Roman story the Aeneid written by Vergil. This is an epic poem after the styles of the Illiud and Oddysey and about the same time period but from the perspective of Aeneas, a Trojan prince who escapes the Trojan War and looks for a new homeland and eventually founds the city that will be known as Rome. Each school was given a maximum of 5 minutes for their schools entry and could be done in any time period or style as long as the details from the Aeneid were correct. Enjoy!
