Latin II students will be using the Cambridge Latin Course Unit II and Unit III this year at Tri-Cities High School... Each unit will have a grammar component, vocabulary, passages in Latin, as well as a cultural component. Many of our projects will be centered around the cultural topics discussed in the stage. By clicking on the photo of our above text, you will be taken directly to the home page of our text. Although a dictionary is not required at the Latin I stage, there are some words that every student should know. There are online activities available for both books: Unit II and Unit III.
I do recommend that students use a Latin dictionary on their phones. For the I-Phone, the application called Lexidium may be purchased for about $4.00. There is also an application called Lexidium for Android users which is free. Students may search the following websites for dictionary purposes: Glossa (A Third Way), William Whitaker's Words, and www.nodictionaries.com. Students who are looking forward to upper level Latin courses should invest in a copy of Allen and Greenough's New Latin Grammar or follow the link to a free digital copy.
Most (if not all) Latin II students will be encouraged to take the National Latin Exam in March. They will also be encouraged to join the Junior Classical League and become active participants in the Latin Program at TCHS. In addition to the text, Latin II students will be responsible for quarterly projects, keeping tabs on their own grades and absences, maintaining a neat and clean Latin notebook, making up all missed assignments on time, coming to tutoring when help is needed, and recovering time for any more than 3 days missed quarterly. Many (if not all) students will be encouraged to take the National Latin Exam in March, to join the Junior Classical League, and to foster a positive attitude toward all things Classical in nature. If you have any questions or comments, please contact Magistra Travis at your earliest convenience.
