| The second exercise
in each chapter of the student text has always included a derivative recognition exercise. |
Students and parents consistently cite “enhancing one’s
English vocabulary” as one of the key reasons they have chosen or been
encouraged to choose Latin for their second language study.
In the first edition of Latin
for the New Millennium, the second exercise in each chapter requires
students to use their knowledge of Latin vocabulary to recognize English words
derived from Latin. In addition, the test banks that teachers can access
through the Teachers’ Lounge contain derivative exercises to help build students’
English vocabulary. Each review in both LNM
1 and LNM 2 features a Mīrābile Audītū section that presents a
set of Latin phrases, abbreviations, mottoes, and terms used in English.
When creating goals for Latin
for the New Millennium, Second Edition, we decided to enhance the
derivatives component of the series. To that end, each chapter in the student
text ends with a list of English derivatives for that chapter’s “Vocabulary to
Learn.” The Teacher’s Manual provides teachers word histories, etymologies, and
sample sentences showcasing the derivatives. Teachers can use this material as
they wish to prepare their classroom presentations on derivatives. Exercise 2
in every chapter in the student workbooks feature work with English
derivatives.
We are pleased to affirm that the LNM Second Edition builds on the First Edition and features a
richer set of derivative-based resources.
