Latin 1  

 

1 credit year, Grades 9-10

​

Students are introduced to Latin with a focus on the relevance of classical language to modern vocabulary and literature. Students learn basic skills as well as concepts of grammar and etymology, which strengthen their overall language base. Ancient history, classical mythology, and Roman culture are integral components of the course.

​

Latin I is centered on the following 6 essential questions:

​

What is the value of the family and home in ancient societies?

How does my daily life compare to that of Roman?

How was geographic location important to the social, economic, and political development of ancient Rome?

How did Greco-Roman art and architecture survive the test of time?

What role did violence play in entertainment in Rome and is violence part of today’s entertainment?

In what ways do myths illustrate the belief systems and cultures that create them?
