Overview of class

Latin 101-3 is the third quarter of the year-long elementary Latin sequence designed to introduce students to the fundamentals of classical Latin. Alongside the grammatical material in this class, students will work on expanding their Latin vocabulary and developing the basic skills for reading Latin texts that are necessary to continue successfully in the second year. Throughout the quarter, class meetings will be devoted to grammar review and completing Chapters 34-40 of Wheelock's Latin. Students will also read extensive selections from the Letters of Pliny the Younger. Students will be expected to develop reading, translation, and literary analysis skills in prepared passages from the original Latin text.
