Latin Basics: Intro to Latin Unit

This unit was designed as an introductory unit for 7th grade students who experience Latin as one of several languages in a rotation.

This unit provides vocabulary so that students can talk about different language structures: parts of speech (focus on nouns, verbs, adjectives), gender of nouns (no neuter nouns included), adjective/noun agreement (mostly 1st and 2nd declension nouns), derivative practice, recognition based translation (i.e. not producing different endings).

Included in this unit:

- 3 drill/warm-up activities

- vocabulary list (student copy and teacher presentation)

- parts of speech activity

- speaking assessment script

- translation practice activity

- study guide

- quiz (with answer key)

- teacher notes for activities as well as links to additional digital resources that correspond to this unit (Nearpod, Wizer Me, Blooket, Gimkit, Kahoot, Quizlet, Hangman)

Note:

- Some activities assume student familiarity with the word "magistra" (or alternatively, "magister")

- No notes for derivatives are included, but I have a free copy of Derivative Notes if needed

- All files are .docx or .pptx so feel free to modify as necessary to fit your students :)
