Forest Dale Elementary School – LATIN IV/ 1-2

Apr 2026 · 2nd Semester

IB Latin builds upon the basic vocabulary and grammatical structures learned in previous years, enhancing students’ abilities to read and understand the cultural ideals of antiquity through the study of various genres of literature. A portfolio containing samples of student work in three skill areas will be kept by students throughout their study of Latin. Students will research assigned topics concerning the historical, social, political, and cultural influence of the ancient world upon global issues. Students will read for comprehension from a variety of longer authentic materials as they learn to use the language creatively in writing poetry, prose, and essays. Curriculum and assessments within this course are designed to prepare students for the International Baccalaureate’s evaluation of their work. While it is not required that students take the IB Latin SL or HL exam, students will be prepared for that end goal.
