Ch - A Henle Latin Exercises

As your student embarks on their Challenge A journey there is so much to learn. One area that can be intimidating is Latin. In this post I am not going to take on the questions of Why Study Latin? I simply want to offer you a tool to help. Your student will be learning a new language, making flash cards, learning new vocabulary, and grammar rules. It is a rewarding process but The Struggle Is REAL!

There are a couple of ways to approach the assigned Exercises from Henle 1. 

1. The Latin A Workspace is what is recommended by CC for your student do to their Latin exercises in. It serves as a nice template guide to keep the students organized. 

2.  Handwritten Exercises on notebook paper.  It is the true stick in the sand method. It allows for plenty of room to work out translations.  If you chose this option I highly recommend a spiral bound notebook. My first year we used this plain paper option and I found Latin exercised everywhere! 

3. The third option is a pre-printed workbook with the Exercises in it. The reason I like this format is that it cuts down on handwriting. The kid's hands will be falling off the first few weeks of class. It also helps students with dyslexia and/or dysgraphia. I know some directors do NOT prefer a workbook style. The goal of a Challenge A student is taking ownership of their educations. Pre-printed forms are sometimes seen as detracting from that goal. Learning to look up and copy exercises is a valuable skill. 

You decide what is best for your child and your goals. 

A Note about the sources used to compile this document. I used several PDF's that contained the Henle l content. I cut and pasted it together into one document so that the Exercises line up with those assigned in the Challenge A Guide as of 2018.
