About this event

Latin Roots (gr 4-8) TUE Sep 3, 10, 17, 24, 2:45-3:45 PM, $60, (Members $50).

This workshop takes you through the roots of the English language by examining in a fun way many Latin words, derivatives, and phrases in everyday use. Did you know that students of Latin score higher on verbal exams because they know more vocabulary and better understand the structure of language?  Come learn some history, mythology, and culture of ancient Rome along with the root forms of many English vocabulary words. Increase your understanding of grammar and syntax as you have fun with basic Latin. This is a survey course only and will not be sufficient to prepare for the National Latin Exam in March. It is appropriate for anyone in grades 4 through 8 who have not yet studied Latin.

Topics we will cover:

- Roots & Derivations - Latin in everyday English.
- English Grammar - comparison with Latin.
- Geography -
the Roman world in classical times.
- History - major cultures, eras, kings, emperors.
- Mythology - deities, monsters, and heroes.
- STEM in Antiquity - science and engineering.
- Roman Life - housing, clothing, family life.
- Latin in Everyday Use - expressions, mottoes.
