This class will teach Timothy Griffith’s innovative Picta Dicta curriculum, using both the online platform and accompanying text book, Latin Primer. This class will focus on learning the basic grammar and logic of Latin through it, in the context of pictures and stories. Translation will be used minimally, as the goal is to get the student to understand the Latin through itself.
(Please note that the start time for this class is 8/27, due to a scheduling conflict; it will differ slightly from the traditional Kepler schedule. An orientation will be offered to offset this.)
