Quotations to Spur Discussion<br />
Bolchazy-Carducci Publishers takes great pride in serving the<br />
needs of Latin and Greek teachers and their students. Providing<br />
teachers a variety of pedagogical materials led to the development<br />
of the Roman Calendar with its daily quotations from the<br />
“wisdom of the ancients.”<br />
This year each month’s image is a chapter title page from Latin for<br />
the New Millennium, Levels 1 and 2, Second Edition. Each chapter title<br />
page includes a significant quotation that connects to the Latin reading,<br />
a Memorābile Dictū, from the ancients. Students are encouraged to<br />
discuss the famous saying Latīnē aut Anglīcē.<br />
These Memorābile Dictū famous quotations readily stimulate classroom<br />
discussion and student exploration:<br />
• Ask students to guess the context of the quotation. Use<br />
the quote to begin class discussions about connections<br />
to history, culture, or customs in ancient Rome or early<br />
modern Europe.<br />
• Ask students to jot down their personal response to the<br />
quotation and to prepare examples from their personal<br />
experience that led to their response. Have students share<br />
in small groups or to the full class.<br />
• Have students make a drawing or a cartoon strip to<br />
illustrate the quotation.<br />
• Ask students to connect the quotation to works they have<br />
read in Latin class or to works of literature they have read<br />
for pleasure or school.<br />
• Assign creative writing projects where students try to<br />
emulate the author’s voice in 5–10 lines.<br />
B-C’s tradition of listening to teachers, enlisting their input, and<br />
learning of their needs has regularly led us to develop new materials.<br />
Teachers’ desire for a Latin series that fused the traditional grammar<br />
approach with the reading method led our late founder Ladislaus J.<br />
Bolchazy, PhD, to <strong>com</strong>mission renowned Latin language educators<br />
and living Latin enthusiasts Milena Minkova and Terence Tunberg to<br />
author Latin for the New Millennium. Initially, the LNM series was intended<br />
to have just two levels. Soon, however, teachers clamored for a<br />
Level 3 and Helena Dettmer and LeaAnn Osburn developed Latin for<br />
the New Millennium, Level 3.<br />
Again, heeding LNM users, we are developing a second edition of<br />
LNM 1 and 2 <strong>com</strong>ing spring 2017. Key new features, based on teacher<br />
suggestions, include an enhanced focus on derivatives and additional<br />
exercises that provide reinforcement and laddering activities. We’ve<br />
added Latin readings from the female polymaths Hildegard von Bingen<br />
and Anna Maria van Schurman to the LNM 2 workbook.<br />
A reproducible worksheet (see the inside back cover) contains suggested<br />
questions for students designed to reinforce derivatives using<br />
the Memorābile Dictū quotations. The worksheet can also be downloaded<br />
from our website at http://<strong>www</strong>.bolchazy.<strong>com</strong>.phtemp.<strong>com</strong>/<br />
pdf/derivatives.pdf. Students are encouraged to tweet their answers<br />
(@BCPublishers) to the question about each month’s featured quotation.<br />
Tweet by the 25th for a chance to win five of our buttons that<br />
feature “Sayings of the Ancients”; we will announce the winner along<br />
with our answer at the beginning of the following month. Do check<br />
your school administration’s relevant internet and social media policies<br />
first. The image sources, as well as their location in LNM, can be<br />
found opposite the worksheet.

Erasmus and his circle of intellectuals. This text with its grammar review lessons is<br />
designed for use after any introductory Latin textbook program. LNM 3 provides students<br />
a <strong>com</strong>prehensive foundation in literary analysis building on figures of speech.<br />

Latin for the New Millennium, Second Edition, presents a significantly enhanced focus on<br />
English vocabulary growth through the study of Latin derivatives.<br />
Each chapter in the student<br />
text includes a dialogue among<br />
a group of American high<br />
school students. In Level 1,<br />
the group talks about everyday<br />
topics like “Preparing for<br />
a Test.” Level 2 dialogues<br />
connect to the chapter Latin<br />
reading and/or the unadapted<br />
Atticus reading.<br />
The second exercise<br />
in each chapter of the<br />
student text has always<br />
included a derivative<br />
recognition exercise.<br />
The English derivatives for the<br />
“Vocabulary to Learn” in each<br />
chapter, found at the end of the<br />
chapter in the new edition, are<br />
listed the same way, by part of<br />
speech, as they appear in the<br />
Latin vocabulary.<br />
The second edition Teacher’s<br />
Manual provides a bounty of<br />
background information that<br />
teachers can draw on for their<br />
derivative presentations.<br />
A new Exercise 2,<br />
employing a variety<br />
of formats such as<br />
matching and multiple<br />
choice, in each<br />
workbook chapter tests<br />
students on English<br />
derivatives.
