comprehension. A series of reading comprehension questions, in Latin, follows each chapter reading. While

them well as they prepare for writing assignments in other classes, making speeches, participating in debates,
or even preparing for the Advanced Placement Latin Exam.
A Note to the Teacher on Word Meanings and Translation: We have to assume that there is hardly ever,
if ever, a word-to-word translation from one language to another. Every Latin student learns early on that
amö means “love.” But if one looks up amö in Cassell’s Latin Dictionary: Latin-English, English-Latin,
he will find nine different “meanings” or interpretations of the word. There are even more for petö in that
same dictionary. Keeping that in mind, we might say that the Romans used a certain Latin word to signify
an action, an emotion, or a thing for which we today use an English, Italian, Chinese, or Arabic word to
signify that same action, emotion, or thing. When a Roman said “Pluit,” he was essentially saying, “Water is
falling from the sky.” We, of course, say, “It is raining,” to signify that same phenomenon. Keeping all this in
mind, we hope that teachers will realize that we have tried our best to provide literal translations; however,
sometimes that was absolutely not possible. We have tried to make the translations as close as we could to
what the author was trying to communicate while also striving for good, clear English.
oral Practice: Although Latin is no longer spoken in most cultures, a student has much to gain
from oral practice. First and foremost, countless studies have proven that the more senses used to learn
something, the better one will retain it. Oral practice provides another creative (and often diverting) means
of reinforcing the lessons in this text. Second, by training students how to communicate Latin orally (i.e., to
speak), bypassing pen and paper, we are training their minds to process other foreign languages in the same
manner—by speaking.

It is important to include not only scripted Latin for oral practice but also some more natural
conversation as well. Get students to think (or speak) on their feet. Many chapters provide a bonus segment
called Colloquämur (let’s talk). These segments provide a wide variety of ways to practice Latin aloud in a
conversational manner.
Written Practice: An excellent means for students to thoroughly learn a language and a literary style
is through imitation in writing. This text introduces a new segment titled Scrïbämus! (Let’s Write!). These
sections suggest topics for short Latin compositions. For instance, in the first chapter, students are asked
to write their own motto or a short haiku. Such exercises will help students to better understand the

relationship between words and their meaning, the expression of ideas in another language, and such ideas
that rise above mere translation.
Unit Reviews: The text includes three unit review chapters. The focus of each chapter is to build
students’ reading skills. Each unit review features a story that reviews grammar concepts learned in the
preceding chapters. The story is followed by a lesson on one or more rhetorical devices that appear in
that passage. These passages, too, are unadapted excerpts from ancient authors. In order to learn to truly
appreciate Latin literature, students need to understand more than words and grammar. They need to learn
about the style of writing. These mini lessons highlight some of the more common rhetorical devices used
student book
throughout Latin literature.
Each unit review concludes with a two-part reading comprehension segment. The first part consists of a
series of multiple-choice questions. The format of the story and the questions that follow is similar to what
one might see on the National Latin Exam or the Advanced Placement Latin Exam. The second part consists
of an essay question that asks students to interpret some aspect of the passage and to provide support for
their interpretations by citing the author. The purpose of these questions is to train students in literary
analysis. These, too, were inspired by the free response questions one would see on the Advanced Placement
Latin Exam.
Generally, students should follow these steps to success for reading comprehension exercises:
• Read the English title. (It is often a clue to the theme or content of the reading.)
• Read the Latin text all the way through without any attempt at translation.
• Read the questions in order to know what to look for in the reading.
• Read the selection again.
• Go back and begin answering the questions.
IX Preface
Assessments: The teacher’s edition includes three unit tests. These tests should be taken upon
completion of the corresponding unit review chapters. The unit tests assess not only the grammar the
students have learned but also students’ ability to apply that grammar to a reading passage. The teacher’s
edition also provides a review for each test to help both teacher and students understand what to expect
regarding content and test format. In the unit review chapters, the teacher’s edition also provides notes to
assist teachers in guiding students through a period of grammar review via the unit reading. This will help
them prepare for the unit tests found in the teacher’s edition.
This teacher’s edition does not include chapter quizzes. In some classes, however, a short chapter quiz
may be appropriate. Such a quiz should focus on the vocabulary and grammar charts or definitions learned
in that chapter. It is advisable to keep such quizzes fairly short and simple, with the focus on ensuring that
students are staying on top of the memory work.
Oral quizzes (much like an English spelling quiz) are a good way to continue to develop auditory
proficiency. Teachers should give the first form from the vocabulary list (e.g., nominative singular for nouns
and adjectives or first principal part for verbs). Students should then write that word and the necessary forms
and meanings that follow. Teachers may want to add a bonus question taken from the chapter maxims or
perhaps from the Culture Corner segments. Such bonus questions are a great way to encourage students to
read and learn these items.
The completion of this book will conclude students’ Latin grammatical study, which means that they will
be amply prepared to read and comprehend Latin texts. While they will encounter some readings as they go
