Summary:  In the Honors level Latin, students will continue their study of the core concepts of Latin grammar, along with a strong focus on English vocabulary enrichment.  In addition to developing students' translation, vocabulary and grammatical abilities the course will challenge them to confront complex Latin and English linguistic phenomena in a more formal way.  Students will also further their understanding of Roman culture, with a particular emphasis on classic literature and the art.

II Course Goals

The World Language Department had adopted the five goal areas of the ACTFL (American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages), also known as the five C’s of foreign language education.

·Communication (face-to-face, in writing or through the reading of literature)

·Cultures (gain knowledge and understanding of the cultural contexts in which language occurs)

·Connections (to other bodies of knowledge in the target language)

·Comparisons (and contrasts, to provide a multi-faceted view of the world)

·Communities (participation with language in a variety of contexts, both in and beyond the classroom, and in culturally appropriate ways)

These goals are tied to national and state standards, which have various progress indicators across the continuum of foreign language learning, from levels one through five, for all languages.
