Minimus : starting out in Latin: Teacher's resource book

This elementary Latin course for 7 10 year olds combines a basic introduction to the Latin language with material on the history and culture of Roman Britain.

Highly illustrated, the Pupil's Book contains a mixture of stories and myths, grammar explanations and exercises, and background cultural information.

Pupils are drawn into the material as they read about the lives of a family living in a community at Vindolanda; the adventures of the children and the family cat and mouse provide interest throughout.

The Teacher's Book provides support, particularly for non-Classicists.

It includes teaching guidelines, English translations of the Latin passages, and additional background information, plus photocopiable worksheets.
