A Handbook for Latin Clubs

Designed for secondary‑school Latin clubs, this handbook offers teachers a ready‑made collection of activities to bring the ancient world to life. Recognizing the difficulty of finding engaging material, especially in smaller towns, the author assembles lessons, discussion topics, and project ideas that can be mixed and matched to fit any schedule. Each program is deliberately longer than a single meeting, giving instructors the freedom to select portions that best suit their resources.

The guide covers a wide spectrum of Roman culture—from daily life of slaves and children, through the architecture of the Forum and famous temples, to the works of Cicero, Vergil, and Horace. It also includes readings, poems, and songs from both ancient and modern writers, plus suggestions for illustrations and library acquisitions. With clear outlines and printable texts, the handbook encourages hands‑on learning, allowing students to experience the language and history of Rome in an interactive, memorable way.
