Book I is based around Pompeii, and contains explanatory language notes with grammatical tables and vocabularies, practice examples, updated background information and illustrations and a vocabulary checklist for each stage. The layouts of the stories and language notes have been improved, and the grammar sections, stories and exercises have also been revised to aid both pupils' and teachers' comprehension. The teacher's guide has been revised to match the new student texts, and offers user-friendly support for classroom teaching.
Wonderfully laid out, meticulously edited. A fantastic volume for working with students using the Cambridge Latin Course, and even I suppose if you're learning yourself!
Each chapter of the course is accompanied by extensive commentaries of every page of the textbook, guidance on discussing the text and potential sensitivities, useful information for teaching the cultural material, suggestions for further work with students, as well as exercises, quizzes and additional passages for student comprehension. This is followed by some discussion of the language appendix in each volume to discuss new words and concepts, ideas for cutting sections if in a speedy course, and a bibliography with both items for students and for the teacher.
