| Course Description |
| In Latin 2 CP1, students learn how to read,
write, and speak in increasingly complex Latin sentences. Students
achieve these goals by translating Latin passages into clear
English and by translating simple English into Latin. Students
respond orally and in writing to Latin questions asked about
the content of their assigned reading passages. In addition,
students continue to learn about Roman culture, mythology, and
history from the founding of the Rome to the early Roman empire. |
