Bloomsbury Publishing PLC de Romanis Book 1
Book SynopsisThis OCR-endorsed Latin course for students aged 11+ is breathing new life into Latin teaching. An introduction to both the Latin language and the cultural world of the Romans, it also develops English literacy skills through derivation tasks and two-way translation exercises, which promote the understanding of English as well as Latin. Cultural topics, supported by background notes, and primary sources, included for study and analysis, enable students to engage with authentic Roman history and acquire a broad understanding on which to build in future study. - Language learning is split between Core and Additional to ensure effective differentiation and flexible timetabling. - Fun and varied exercises include word identification, word manipulation, vocab acquisition / consolidation, and translation from English into Latin. - 30 words of new vocabulary in each chapter build towards a total of 360. - Vocabulary is consistently and constantly consolidated to give an unshakeable Trade ReviewContains some interesting innovative features ... Many Latin teachers would welcome de Romanis as appropriate and useful for their students. * Classics for All *This exciting new Latin course has first-rate integration of linguistic and paralinguistic material. The carefully graded stories are all the sorts of stories that the Romans did tell about themselves and to their children. * Melvin Cooley, Warwick School *de Romanis seemed heaven-sent to help me! * Jo Lashley, Lead Latin tutor at Wolsey Hall, Oxford *One of the many strengths of this course is that it can be adapted for learners of different interests and abilities. The stories and background material chosen for both books are relevant, appealing and a great knowledge base to understand the world of the Romans - women included - without resorting to sugar coating. * Ana Martin, Latin Tutor Online *We have moved to De Romanis this year, and it has offered students a tremendous balance of exciting Roman background material and logically presented Latin grammar. There are too many things that I like to list them all, but a selection of highlights are: the logical decision to begin with the perfect tense (why had no one thought of this before?), the fact the exercises offer lots of practice on the new grammatical material, the sensibly restricted vocabulary so that students can focus on the manipulation of the grammar, the inclusion of original ancient sources in translation, and the glossy pictures and presentation which are the match of any other Latin course on the market. -- Chris Burnand, Abingdon School, UKIt is accessible and carefully structured to enable pupils to develop reading skills and a firm foundation in grammar ... It offers a return to teaching Latin through mythology; the stories in Chapter 1 immediately engaged and entertained our pupils. * Alexandra Boyt, Director of the JACT Latin Summer School 2009-2018 *The de Romanis textbooks have breathed new life into Latin learning! * Emma Kate Trow-Poole, The King’s School, Worcester *Latin lessons with de Romanis feel like a hybrid of English and Maths. This straddles the ability and interest range of the class really nicely, but, more importantly, is preparing pupils far better for progress – and fluency – in reading Latin ... Time will tell how this plays out with uptake at GCSE etc., but what I am confident in is that every pupil will finish this year feeling positive about Latin and feeling like Latin is the subject they actually get. * Dom, Head of Classics at King Edward's School, Birmingham *The first thing to strike about this course is the ‘meatiness’ of it: the amount of learning material which it provides. Anyone teaching from this course will not go wanting for both cultural and language resources. ... There is an impressive amount of material contained both in the cultural sections as well as the language sections * The Journal of Classics Teaching *Table of ContentsPreface Introduction to the Romans Chapter 1: The Olympian Gods Introduction and Sources to Study Core Language including the following Latin stories - Saturn eats his children; Vulcan punishes Venus; Minerva’s birth; Mars terrifies the humans Additional Language Chapter 2: Roman Heroes Introduction and Sources to Study Core Language including the following Latin stories - Aeneas travels from Troy to Italy; Horatius fights bravely at the bridge; Cloelia swims to safety Additional Language Chapter 3: Roman Gods Introduction and Sources to Study Core Language including the following Latin stories - Aeneas, Vesta and the Penates; Romulus is turned into the god Quirinus; An unlucky gateway; The sacred geese Additional Language Chapter 4: Favour and Punishment Introduction and Sources to Study Core Language including the following Latin stories - Evander meets the hero Hercules and together they build the Ara Maxima; Cerberus, the guard dog for the Underworld; The Romans offer a huge sacrifice to the gods; Augustus builds many temples Additional Language Chapter 5: Festivals, Games and Shows Introduction and Sources to Study Core Language including the following Latin stories - The theft of the Sabine women; The Ludi Romani; Spartacus; Violence at a gladiator show; Death of a charioteer Additional Language Chapter 6: Prophecy Introduction and Sources to Study Core Language including the following Latin stories - Tarquin and the Sibylline Books; Jupiter tells the future glory of the Roman race; A frightening prophecy; Marius and the sleeping chicks; Caesar ignores two warnings from the gods Additional Language Bibliography Grammar Reference Glossary of Names Vocabulary List (Latin to English and English to Latin)
