About This Book

The handbook provides practical guidance and ready-made programs for secondary-school Latin clubs, combining organizational advice, topic-based meeting outlines, and resource suggestions for small schools. It offers extended programs on Roman life and culture—Pompeii, ancient Rome, the forum and house, slavery, children, education, professions, religion, literature, holidays, and monuments—supplemented by poems, translations, songs, and readings for performance. It advises collecting visual aids and library materials, supplies bibliographies and notes, and intentionally presents programs longer than a single session so teachers can select appropriate portions. The overall aim is to vivify Latin instruction through extracurricular club activity.
