Introduction / by Anthony Gibbins

This is my first time teaching Latin using the book Lingua Latina Per Se Illustrata. I have long wanted to use this book, as I feel that of all the textbooks available, this one best suits my preferred ways of teaching.

I have decided to keep a record here of my lessons, both for my own reference and reflection, and to share ideas with others who way wish to read them.

I will label the entries with the chapter number and lesson number, within that chapter. And I will include links to material that I use, both my own and others’.

As a department, we have decided to spend around 10 lessons on each chapter. Our lessons are about 40 minutes long. The students are first year Latin students, about 12 years old at the start of the year.
