Esther I think that there would need to be a good reason and a deliberate plan to schedule the two authors concurrently. For example, if you were going to treat major themes and compare/contrast how Cicero and Augustine dealt with these themes, e.g., the concept of just war, then perhaps concurrent...

As far as the Shakespeare play, personally I would plump for Julius Caesar. It is great literature combined with history. The characters are essential to know as historical figures and as part of a classical education. Just for one tiny example, a student who knows these characters will see Dante's...

Yes, that secret coding was funny. As soon as I finished typing, I realized that you knew the rules and that was why you raised those good questions. Incidentally, although it's not useful information now, you will have macrons all throughout Henle II.

For the second person singular passive of 3rd conjugation verbs:
There is no macron in the present passive, so it is VIN ce ris, DU ce ris, FI ge ris, JUN ge ris, DI ce ris, etc.
There is a macron over the e in the future passive, so it is vin CE ris, du CE ris, fi GE ris, jun GE ris, di...Last edited by Bonnie; 04-15-2022, 11:50 AM.

You can absolutely do the Henle II student guide on your own. That was the intent of writing it -- to help people at home use Henle's superb textbook. (And also to supply good tests for homeschoolers.) As for doing the Advanced Caesar readings with a more homeschool- friendly text, things are in the...

jenniferjb I am only referring to the homeschool (non-MPOA) route. By next year's work, I mean the Advanced Caesar course, which is currently based on the Mueller text. The sequence is Henle II, Advanced Caesar (Mueller), and then typically Cicero or AP Latin. Once the student finishes the Henle II...Last edited by Bonnie; 04-13-2022, 12:58 PM.

hermione310 That's great to hear. I think you will have no trouble with Henle II. You have the right idea about the notes; they should make the lessons easier. Students are not expected to reproduce the information in the abstract on tests, but simply use it to better understand what they are reading....

Yes, they can still move on to the next year's work even if they only get through the 32 lessons and do not do the readings at year end. Somewhere in the guide, I say that, if they need to take more time on the lessons, it just means that they will do fewer reading days at the end of the year. The final...Last edited by Bonnie; 04-12-2022, 01:36 PM.

Regarding the sample which covers Lesson 1, I just wanted to add that, prior to starting the Henle lessons, the new guide has five days of preparatory work. This week includes a review (with quizzes) on more than 100 words constantly used by Caesar (all of which would have been learned in Henle I and...Last edited by Bonnie; 04-12-2022, 12:27 PM.

Classics Unraveled
I just wanted to highly recommend the first video of MP's new series Classics Unraveled, with Jon Christianson -- illuminating and entertaining!

I think Tanya gave you good advice. It sounds as if your daughter is doing very well in applying, in a concrete way, the information she has learned, but perhaps has trouble explaining when asked to re-present information in a more abstract way. That is not at all unusual for many students. Sometimes...

An 8th grader is old enough to study Henle I, especially as she has already learned some Latin vocabulary and perhaps some forms in Challenge A. She can start at the beginning of the Henle I textbook; there is an MP study guide for help. She can move at a faster pace, if she has mastered the early parts...
