The goal of Forum is to enable students to speak Latin as a living language. Studies have shown that unless one speaks, reading fluency becomes difficult to attain. Because it teaches students to speak Latin, Forum prepares them to read without the use of dictionary or translation, and to read as fluently as one might read in any modern language. Forum applies to Latin the teaching methods commonly used for modern language acquisition: total oral immersion, total physical response (TPR), role-playing games, gradual complexity of dialogues and stories, and gradual grammatical progression. Whether used by students on their own or by an instructor with a group, this first-level book submerges the student within the language. The audio files that are available for free download on the Polis Institute website will help the student to internalize grammatical forms and vocabulary. As only the Latin language is heard by the students using these files, they are unable to rely on an intermediary language and are thus compelled to employ the new skills they have acquired through this text. Forum teaches Classical Latin in the broadest sense. The classical period includes the golden age of Latin literature (1st c. BC - 1st c. AD) as well as the Imperial Latin from the Nerva-Antonine dynasty (96-192 AD) and the Severan dynasty (193-235 AD). This period has the advantage of being an intermediate between pre-Classical Latin and Late Latin (3rd c.-6th c. AD). Even authors from the 4th or 5th centuries AD such as St. Augustine of Hippo or St. Jerome, albeit writing in a slightly different language than the classical one, took the golden age of Latin literature as a reference. Studying Classical Latin (in the broad sense) allows us to easily read the most interesting Latin texts of Antiquity and the Middle Ages.

Many words in the English language are formed by taking base words or root words and adding combinations of prefixes and suffixes to them.
By the time my friends reach 4th and 5th grade, there are some things that should be non-issues. There are some things I should not have to spend instructional time on. Basics. Thus was born the No Excuses list. Each year, after the first couple of weeks of school, I do a quick intro to the No Excuses list. This is a chart of things that, by the time they get to 4th or 5th grade, a student can reasonably be expected to be responsible for doing. Things like starting sentences with capital letters and putting endmarks on sentences. It is not unreasonable to expect those things of my students. However, I find so many of my friends do not have automaticity with them. They should be no-brainers, but my friends have shown (year after year) to be very lax in doing them. To intro the chart, I have the chart done with just the title. I explain what a No Excuses list is. I tell them that this chart will have on it the things that we know every 4th and 5th grader has been taught in previous grades and can be expected to do when reading or writing. These are things your teacher this year should not have to teach again because you learned, practiced, and did them in 1st, 2nd, and/or 3rd grade. I then have the kids brainstorm a list of what they would put on the chart. THEY KNOW! They know what they should be doing! Without fail, every year, they come up with the exact things we need to have on our list. I usually start with the top two; capitalizing sentences and using endmarks/end marks. (I always write endmarks as a compound word. I've seen it both ways band have just always written it as a compound word. Spell check does not agree!) We add teach item to the chart and in the bullet, put the date we add them to the chart. On my chart, the 27th and 28th were actually both added on the same day, but I was talking and writing at the same time and wrote the 28th by mistake. Except for those two items, I usually add items one at a time with at least a week or two between adding an item to the chart. This gives my friends time to work on each without being overwhelmed. What makes the chart work is the rule. Once it is on the chart, from that date forward, it is expected to be done on all work. No Excuses! If a paper is turned in with any of these errors, the student will get the paper back to fix or redo. Or, if I notice it on the paper before they turn it in I will say that I can't accept that paper and they need to check the No Excuses chart. I find that it is usually not that kids can't do these things. It's more that we don't, at some point, draw that line in the sand and say, "Okay, this is now on you! You have been taught and/or retaught these things year after year and now it is your responsibility to do them without being told. No excuses!" I know this might sound harsh to some, but I promise you after just a couple of weeks you will see a dramatic drop in students forgetting to do these basic things. I find the key for me is to stick with the expectations and be consistent in not accepting work that doesn't meet the standard. Now, I also know there may be some students you need to make exceptions for. But, in general, if something makes it on to your No Excuses list, everyone is usually expected to do it. What you have on your list can be tailored to the grade level, students' abilities, and the expectations you set in your classroom. You know your students best, so you have to create a list that works for you. The list can be added to as the year goes on, but I generally focus on things that have been taught in previous year(s) and are reasonable expectations of my students. Is this something you think would work in your classroom? What would be on your No Excuses list? Or, do you handle this issue in another way that might be good to share?
Latin teaching for the twenty-first century, Lorna Robinson's Telling Tales in Latin teaches Latin through the magic of storytelling. Narrated by the chatty and imaginative Roman poet Ovid (who lived in the Rome of the first century B.C), this new course takes young learners on a journey through some of the tales from Ovid's Metamorphoses. Along the way, they pick up Latin words and grammar, explore the connections between Latin and English and discover how Ovid's stories still speak to us today. Each chapter introduces one of Ovid s much-loved stories, encouraging children to begin reading Latin immediately while exploring the literary and mythic context of the stories. At the end of each chapter there are suggested activities to help learners to think about what they have just read, and to understand how the stories connect to ideas and issues that are still relevant today, from relationships with others and philosophy, to science and caring for the planet. Soham De's illustrations bring Ovid's stories alive for a wide range of learners and make learning Latin a colourful journey of discovery. Telling Tales in Latin outlines how Latin is the basis for English grammar, unlocking the complexities of learning English (and other languages) along the way. It also contains the vocabulary and grammar needed for the OCR Entry Level Latin qualification, making this book the ideal first introduction to Latin.

I receive weekly reminders of my linguistic ignorance whenever I read anything by authors fluent in Latin.
Finally! I have achieved Utopia! Wordtopia Utopia, that is! I have been teaching English for 10 years, and I have used many different programs for teaching Latin and Greek roots. All of them have elements that are great, but I needed something that would go a little farther. Every year I always lamented, "If I had more time, I would do this..." Finally, this summer, I moved roots to the top of my to do list and created Wordtopia- the practically perfect word study program for me. Will it be practically perfect for you, too? I hope so, and if not, don't worry- my files are fully customizable. Wordtopia is a word study program that combines the study of Latin and Greek roots with writing skills. Each unit consists of six lessons centered around a common theme. In each of the six lesson, students explore a word part by sorting a list of words with a common root, examining the individual parts of these words, completing a word map, editing a paragraph about one of the words, exploring a website that illustrates the use of the word in the real world, and completing a writing activity where they make personal connections with the root. Each lesson should take approximately 45 minutes to complete. Lessons align with the Common Core and feature 21st Century Skills. Unit 1 Theme: Back-to-school Word Parts: ology, bio, auto, graph, scrip, scrib, gen 21st Century Skills: Critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, communication, research, information fluency, real-world exploration, technology In the full version, you will receive the following files: Presentation (42 Slides) of all 6 lessons in 3 different forms - Six lessons - Daily Oral Language, Word Sorts, Word Families, Word Maps, Real World and Writing Connections - Available in Google Presentation, ActivInspire, and Powerpoint Teacher’s Guide (43 pages) that includes... - Unit Overview - Planning Guide and Checklists - Lessons 1-6 Answer Keys - Pretest/Posttest - Twenty-five question multiple choice assessments on Lessons 1-3 and Lessons 4-6; test questions include matching, comprehension (with reading passages), analogies, and more! - Available in Google Drive and Word Student Workbook (12 pages) - Printer friendly worksheets to go along with the presentations - Available in Google Drive and Word ActivInspire Hollywood Squares Review Games (22 slides) for Lessons 1-3 and Lessons 4-6 Lesson Overview2. Word SortingFree Preview! 1. Daily Oral Language Editing Paragraph Students begin each lesson by proofreading a paragraph that features the lesson’s word part- a perfect warm-up/bellringer activity. They should correct ten mistakes in spelling, capitalization, usage, and punctuation. In ActivInspire, they can use the highlighter tool to find the mistakes. Then double click on the text box to make the change. I usually have my students bold and change the color of the mistake. Students sort a list of eight words into existing categories or categories of their choice. Some students may group words by root location; others may group by meaning. In ActivInspire, students can easily drag the words and labels around the screen. Then they can use a textbook or the pen tool to write on the label. 3. Word Parts Analyzing word parts helps students break apart larger words. In ActivInspire, slide the word part across the screen. The first column shows the word minus the root, the second shows the root only, and the third shows the entire word. 4. Word Map This graphic organizer can be used in many ways. Students analyze the selected the word for its word origin, word families, definition, and other word forms. They create a list of examples of this word as well as non examples (teachers may wish to substitute synonyms and antonyms when appropriate). Students can read the word in an example sentence, and then they write one of their own. Finally, students should find a picture to help them remember the root’s meaning. Clicking on the candle button will take students to the Online Etymology Dictionary (http://www.etymonline.com). Clicking on camera button will allow students to take a photo of this slide when they are finished. 5. Web Exploration and Writing Activities Clicking on the globe will take students to a website that shows a real world example of the lesson’s word part. Clicking on the four envelopes will reveal writing activities that go along with this website. Rather than assign all four, teachers should allow students to select a prompt of their choice. These activities are designed to be quick writes rather than lengthy assignments and may be used as a homework assignment. Students can then share their writing in small groups, large groups, or in an online environment. Assessments Track your students’ growth by having them complete a pretest and posttest before and after the unit. Two additional assessments have been included in this guide (Lessons 1-3 and Lessons 4-6). These multiple choice assessments challenge students to think about the word’s parts and meanings rather than memorize a list of words. Fully Customizable! I understand there really is no one-size-fits-all approach to word study. That’s why I am giving you EDITABLE files. If you wish to change or add on to my plan, you can easily do so. I only ask that you please do not repost my files on other websites. More coming soon! Since this is my word study plan for the year, I will naturally add more as the school year progresses. You can download a free preview of Wordtopia from my TeachersPayTeachers store.
