The first year of this two-year sequence (comprising Latin 1A and Latin 1B) gives students the foundations of Latin grammar and the tools necessary to read and translate Latin passages. This course also introduces students to the study of Roman history, mythology, culture, and daily life through lectures and supplemental readings. Emphasis will be placed on a mastery of English grammar and syntax through the study of Latin. Students will complete chapters 1–12 of the Latin for the New Millennium, Level 1 textbook, and completion of Latin 1A and Latin1B will successfully prepare students for placement into Latin 2 at the high school level.
