I am excited to be joining you on this journey. Below is an explanation of what each week and day will look like when you join me daily for Latin.
Each Week is divided into 4 days. When you click on each day, you will see a short explanation about that day's focus followed by 5 sections titled: Watch, Read, Memorize, Study, Do. See below for a description about each section.
Nota Bene: Make sure to CLICK the completed box in the bottom right once you have finished that days videos and exercises.
WATCH: Here you will find a short video to watch. Generally this will be less than 12 minutes, but in the beginning they may run a bit longer to get up to speed with all of the new information.
READ: Pages being referred to from the Henle text that can be read to review the concept for that day.
MEMORIZE: Here you will have a short video introducing the newest vocabulary and we will walk through highlighting it in the ZTL Resource Notebook.
STUDY: Here you will find the grammar rule numbers that are referenced from the Grammar Blue Book that are being focused on that day or week.
DO: I will assign exercises to be completed each day. There will be a short video for each of the exercises, giving an example on how to do each one.
Below is all the information you will need to prepare for your first week of lessons. The videos will help you get your resources and texts prepared for the first day of class. If you are new to Zoom Thru Latin, make sure to take the time to highlight your Henle 1 text. The tabbing video will give you suggestions, but tabbing often depends on what works best for you.
Nota bene: I updated my Resource Notebook July 2024. If your copy was printed before this, you may want an updated version.
Because it is assumed that you have tackled Nouns during Ch A & B, the CC curriculum uses the first week to review noun declensions in Lessons 1-6. The intention is that you use the week to focus on the concepts your student is weakest in, not complete every exercise. This can feel overwhelming. I have used each of the 4 days to highlight the important concepts and assigned exercises that will allow you to assess you understanding. Because the of the amount of content being reviewed this first week, the first 2 days of instructional videos are longer than they will be in future lessons, typically they will average 10 minutes.
