He studied Latin like the violin, because he liked it. From Robert Frost s The Death of the Hired Man wheelock 36/13/11 11:40 AMWheelock 46/13/11 11:40 AMTeaching wheelock s LatinThe seventh edition of wheelock s Latin , published in 2011, features a great many revisions intended to make this classic textbook even more effective, more interesting, and more user friendly for both teachers and learners.

4 Following is an overview of the changes: The text was entirely re keyed, providing the opportunity for formatting and design changes that help clarify each CAPVT s organization and, along with new photographs and drawings, make the book more visually appealing. SMALL BOLD CAPITALS are employed to call attention to important new grammatical and other technical terms. To encourage more active use of the language in the classroom, Latin is employed in the CAPVT titles and for section heads (Exercitationes instead of Practice and Review, Vocabula for Vocabulary, etc.). Material in the footnotes has either been incorporated into the text or deleted.

5 The maps have been updated, and more frequent references appear in the text to encourage their use. Significant revisions have been made in each CAPVT s grammar discussion section (newly titled Grammatica), including systematic introduction and definition of all parts of speech, earlier introduction of verb synopsis, and clarification of numerous grammatical points. The CAPVT Vocabula have been revised in several ways, including spelling out full nominatives for all adjectives, genitives for all nouns, and principal parts for all verbs, even regular first conjugation verbs thus eliminating abbreviations potentially distracting to students trying to learn new vocabulary items for the first time.

6 Each list is preceded by a brief discussion of new or exceptional types of words that will be encountered, as well as general suggestions on how to master vocabulary. Similarly, each CAPVT s Lectiones et Translationes ( Readings and Translations ) section opens with a variety of tips aimed at building reading and translating skills. wheelock 56/13/11 11:40 AM6 Teacher s Guide and Answer Key for wheelock s LatinEnglish derivatives are provided for Latin words glossed in the Sententiae Antiquae and reading passages, as an aid to learning and recalling their meanings. Some of the existing readings have been slightly revised for improved reinforcement of new and recent vocabulary and grammar; and a few new authentic readings have been added to each CAPVT, in particular a selection of graffiti from pompeii , titled Scripta in Parietibus ( Writings on Walls ), which are accompanied by drawings or photographs and designed to provide interesting insights into the lives, and literacy, of ancient Roman men and women.

7 The inscriptions and the CAPVT s literary passages are provided with expanded introductions and a few Quaestiones, reading comprehension and discussion questions designed to focus the reader s attention on important points of both subject and style. The Etymologia sections have been in some instances shortened, in other instances expanded, particularly with the addition of more Romance language derivatives; and there are a few changes to the Latina Est Gaudium sections as well. The Index has been expanded. Finally, the website at ( ), this translation key and the online teacher s guide, vocabulary cards, and other ancillaries available from Bolchazy Carducci Publishers ( ) have been updated to reflect changes to the Strategies for the Teacher The Lectiones et Translationes in this new, expanded edition purposely provide more material for reading and translation than one would want to require for homework in the two or three days typically allotted to a CAPVT in a semester course or the week or so allotted in high school.

8 Instructors are encouraged to be selective: my suggestion is to assign study of the new grammar, paradigms, and vocabulary for the first day or two, requiring for written homework only limited selections from the Exercitationes and Sententiae Antiquae, and reserving the others (or some of the others, carefully selected in advance) for in class sight translation; assignments for the second or third day should include the reading passages and graffiti following the Sententiae Antiquae, which will give students the experience they need with continuous narrative. I like to assign one or two of the English to Latin Exercitationes each day, or will sometimes divide the students into small groups, giving them five minutes or so to work on one of the sentences together and having a member of each group put their sentence on the board wheelock 66/13/11 11:40 AMTeacher s Guide and Answer Key for wheelock s Latin 7for review.

9 Students should regularly be encouraged to practice new material at home with the Self Tutorial Exercises located at the back of the book, checking their accuracy with the answer key that follows, and sentences from these exercises, again pre selected for the purpose, can be used to drill mastery of new concepts via sight translation in class. The companion reader Scribblers, Scvlptors, and Scribes provides a broad array of entirely authentic, unadapted classical Latin texts whose vocabulary and grammar are correlated with the the CAPVTs of wheelock s Latin . These readings, including a wide range of graffiti and other inscriptions, proverbs, and literary texts, provide insights into not just the minds of Rome s movers and shakers, her politicians and generals, philosophers and poets, but also into the daily lives of the average Roman.

10 Students should be assigned a selection from these readings at least for their final day on each CAPVT. Most instructors will also want their students to use the Workbook for wheelock s Latin , which contains a variety of additional exercises, including for each CAPVT a detailed set of Intellegenda (learner INTELLEGENDA also included in this guide), a series of questions designed to focus directly on the newly introduced grammar, a variety of transformation drills, word, phrase, and sentence translations, questions on etymologies, synonyms, antonyms, and analogies for new vocabulary items, and reading comprehension questions to test the student s understanding of the CAPVT s reading passages.
