Description
New Steps in Latin is a three book series designed specifically for
middle or high school students. The texts employ a minimum of
explanation of grammatical principles, concentrate on essential grammar
and morphology and on the syntax of simple, compound, and complex
sentences. The focus on learning is through numerous examples. The
series offers students a complete graded introduction to Latin and
grammar. It can be used alone, as a main text supplemented by readings
and cultural material, or as a supplementary grammatical work text for
a reading-oriented course.
Each book consists of 30 lessons
intended for a year-long course in Latin. Taken together, the three
books form a complete course for grades 7-9 or 6-8. Vocabulary in the
series is based on Cicero, Vergil, Ovid, and Pliny. After completing
New Steps in Latin, students will be ready to read these or other
unaltered Latin authors.
New First Steps (grade 6 or 7):conjugations 1-4, active and passive voice; declensions 1-5; simple sentences.
New
Second Steps (grade 7 or 8):participles, infinitives, relative clauses,
indirect statement; complex sentences; connected reading.
New Third Steps (grade 8 or 9):uses of the subjunctive, gerund and gerundive; excerpts from Caesar, Bellum Gallicum.
