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.

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.
