Latin B

World Languages

In Latin B, students continue to build on their knowledge of the Latin language and the Roman people. They continue their study of grammar and learn the remaining noun cases and declensions as well as more detail on tenses in the active voice and indicative mood for regular and irregular verbs. They continue to develop skills in etymology, vocabulary, and reading fluency. The readings are a continuance of the Latin A stories, based on historical and fictional characters living in Roman Britain and Egypt. Students explore the history, culture, and mythology of the Romans more deeply, with an emphasis on the Kings of Rome and the heroes of the early Roman republic. Our seventh-grade students also participate in the National Latin Exam.
