Wheelock Study Aids

Magister Smith's Comprehensive Wheelock Links

Teacher Christopher Smith uses WHEELOCK'S LATIN in teaching his high-schoolers. I asked if he would share an outline of his curriculum and he graciously agreed. Here're a few of his comments and a link to his curriculum map:

"I share this document with my students each semester. It contains nearly all resources they will need to complete the course, like my grammar presentations, packets with further explanations and practice, helpful videos, and miscellaneous culture resources. I complete Wheelock's in three semesters (90 minute daily meetings for a semester) and move into Eutropius before moving towards the AP curriculum in Latin IV & V. I include a lot of culture/history in my classes, so my pacing may differ from others."

Wheelock Study Groups

New Wheelock beginners group -- Milites
Salvete, amici: I'm planning on starting a new Wheelock's beginners group at the end of April. We will be called the Milites, "the Soldiers." We will do a chapter every two weeks with the second week being devoted to Rick LaFleur's wonderful Scribblers, Sculptors, and Scribes as our auxiliary reading. You'll need to have the 7th edition of Wheelock and also the Scribblers book. If you are interested in joining or just want more information, please write to me at bcuthill@us.net. Please make sure to use Milites in your subject line so that emails end up in the correct email box. Thanks.
Valete,

“I know of no book to contend in usefulness with this resourceful, voluminous and appetizing smorgasbord.” –from the Introduction by William F. Buckley, Jr.

facta non verba
FAH-ktah nohn WEHR-bah

actions speak louder than words

Facta non verba, literally “deeds, not words,” holds that protestations of good intentions count for little, action is what we need.

ordering information

Fans of Amo, Amas, Amat and More, Eugene Ehrlich’s first collection of Latin words and phrases which still serve gracefully today, will delight in this second offering.

Here’s a sampling:

contra felicem vix deus vires habet
KAWN-trah fhe-LEE-kem wiks DAY-uus WIHR-ehs HAH-bet

don’t bet against a crapshooter on a roll

Publilius Syrus telling us that “against a lucky man a god scarcely has power.” Why buck the odds?

dea certe
DEH-ah KEHR-tay

assuredly a goddess

A fine compliment to pay any woman of outstanding achievement in her lifetime.
