Latin and German emphasize diversity in Foreign cultures Latin and German are the two foreign language courses at Seaholm that do .not use the ALM method. ln each, however, a comprehensive study of the lan- guage is brought about through emphasis not only on grammar but on the literature and culture of the coun- try that produced the language. Latin begins with grammar and vocabulary. Conju- gating verbs and translations are relied upon to give a working knowledge of the language that will permit a survey of Latin literature and philosophy in the more advanced classes. Roman culture is stressed through assigned proiects, such as maps or models. ln Latin Ill Cicero and Ovid are ready in Latin IV students study Virgil's Aeneid and other epic poetry. ln German the first two years are also spent in learn- ing the vocabulary and grammar of the German lan- guage. This is done through reading selections which also introduces the student to German culture. Most of the second year is spent in reading in class. German lll emphasizes the oral aspect of the language to develop ability in conversation. Short novels are also read.
