Prerequisites: Third Form Latin
Fourth Form Latin (as the name implies) is the fourth in our true Latin course. It is also the form that completes the Latin grammar set!
Students will continue learning Latin in more depth as they review material from First Form, Second Form, and Third Form, completing all verb forms for all four conjugations by studying participles, infinitives, gerunds, and more.
Fourth Form requires the purchase and use of Henle I as it will be used for larger translations (a few paragraphs – get ready to translate St. Patrick!)
Fourth Form Latin requires a lot of work but it is worth the effort to finish out the Form series!
After completing Forth Form, students will be able to move onto Henle II or Memoria Press’ Selections from the Vulgate or Lingua Biblica.
Fourth Form Latin is recommended for grades 8th-11th but we do on occasion have students of other grade levels.
Magistra Brittany (magistra means teacher in Latin) will guide your student each week: reviewing old lessons, teaching the new vocabulary and corresponding derivatives, explaining Latin grammar, and helping children understand what they will be required to do.
We provide a suggested “homework” lesson plan to help your child work through their lesson at a good pace. This includes when to do their workbook pages and when to review vocabulary.
Each week there is a quiz that is recommended but is up to the parents to decide if they wish to quiz their child.
There are also occasional review weeks where the students get to play Latin Jeopardy in class, do their review workbook pages at home, and then take a test at the end of the week.
Note: Parents, you will still be the one responsible for grading your child’s work.
