Latin 4

The Latin 4 course is designed to prepare students for AP Latin. During the first half of the course, students will use Wheelock’s Latin Textbook to review and consolidate the important Latin grammatical concepts that they studied during Latin I-III, along with some new Latin grammatical material. Attention will also be paid to improving students’ Latin vocabulary and skills in Latin reading comprehension. The second half of the course will be dedicated to reading Latin passages from Julius Caesar’s De Bello Gallico as an introduction to the AP Latin syllabus students will be working on in AP Latin.

To successfully complete this course, students will need access to a laptop or desktop computer with a reliable internet connection and a working webcam and microphone.

In addition, this course may require purchase of texts or other course materials.

CLI partner schools observe a wide range of calendars, including academic years which begin both before and after Labor Day. To accommodate this, yearlong courses are offered with both “August start” and “September start” options. For more information and to assist us in matching your school’s calendar, please reach out to your CLI contact.

This Fixed-Paced course incorporates a blend of synchronous and asynchronous elements. Students and teacher meet live via zoom on a regular weekly schedule. In addition, students complete coursework including guided readings, interactive videos, text and video-based discussion threads, problem sets, individual and collaborative projects, and so on. While these activities are time-flexible, teachers sequence them with weekly deadlines to help students keep on track and encourage and support the development of productive time management skills.

During the course orientation period, CLI asks students to complete a survey on their availability for live class meetings. Teachers set individual class meeting times based on student responses.
