In Latin III, we will build upon our previous knowledge of Latin through what we will call Nostra Experientulia Tertia (our third little experience). We will continue to learn Latin by immersing ourselves in Latin literature from all times and places. Using this “textbook” of Latin writings throughout the centuries, we will continue refining our skills as Latinists. We will develop our Latin competencies throughout the year by writing our own original Latin messages and stories, translating passages, reading Latin at sight, completing grammar exercises, and having short Latin conversations. We will also be engaging with the orbis antiquus (the ancient world) through a variety of activities, including collaborative creative projects known as “opvs projects.” These projects include creating plays, movies, escape rooms, board games, and other creative products. Unit topics for Latin 3 will include the emperors of Rome, Fasti and the religions of the empire, “the other” , and love and its forms.
