| In Latin II, 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 fall of the Roman Empire. |
