Latin Roman Geography Early Latin 1 Unit

This unit has been crafted for students of an early Latin 1 level. The structures and vocabulary are quite introductory. I use this unit as an introduction to reading, comprehension, and early sentence building. This unit is not focused heavily on grammar. It incorporates nouns of the first three declensions, but only focuses on the endings for some of the first and second declension nouns. Other nouns are learned or understood through context.
This unit contains many products. It can be instructed in any order that you wish. The locations included on the map are based upon what I consider to be important for the years of the National Latin Exam. In addition, I also feel that these are the most common places that are mentioned for Certamen and also in the texts which we read through our curriculum. The Latn-Modern English counterparts have been named primarily based on how the NLE expresses them or by the most common location today.
