Latin I
Syllabus
CAM147 Latin I
Course Overview
Course Description
Latin I offers an immersive introduction to the classical Latin language, as well as Roman history and culture. You'll learn Latin by reading Lingua Latina per se illustrata by Hans Ørberg, which follows a fictional Roman family living around 200 AD. As you journey with them, you'll explore Roman roads and villas, witness daily family life, hear stories of legendary heroes and military campaigns, and discover how Romans measured time — their days, months, seasons, and years.
Credit Hours: 3hrs
Learning Outcomes
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
- Recognize and recall a core set of Latin vocabulary words.
- Read and comprehend adapted Latin passages, demonstrating an understanding of grammar and sentence structure.
- Use context clues to interpret the meaning and grammatical function of words and phrases in Latin texts.
- Describe key aspects of Roman history, mythology, and daily life, and make connections between these cultural elements and the Latin language.
