A Grammatical Sign Language
-
Teaching Philosophy Why active Latin? Communicating in Latin requires students to
engage with language concepts in an authentic and intentional way, which paves the way for a rich and genuine experience of literature.
Why signs? How do we teach students to think in Latin?
One way is to teach them to think in concepts before they worry about words. The sign language facilitates this.
-
Goal: Conceptual Learning Composition (Example #1): Students produce Latin that gives each word a
particular role
Puella = a (The girl is the star of the show) Narcissus = s (Narcissus is receiving the direct
impact of some action)
Love = i E ("love" happens in the present; the star is doing it)
Puella Narcissum amat.
-
Goal: Conceptual Learning Composition (Example #2): Students produce Latin that gives each word a
particular role
Puella = j (something is originating from the girl)
Narcissus = a (Narcissus is the star of the show)
Love = e R ("love" was happening in the past; it was being done to the star)
Narcissus puell ambtur.
-
Goal: Conceptual Learning
Translation: Students recognize the conceptual force of
each word
Students understand the way that concepts interact to create meaning
Frater Luci cum Cornli schol ad tabernam glaci edibilis magn celeritte ambulvit.
-
Goal: Conceptual Learning
Vocabulary: When students encounter a Latin vocabulary
word, they recognize the concepts associated with its usage.
Tibi resistere dbmus. (resistere can only exert h impact)
T iuvre dbmus. (iuvare exerts the standard s impact)

Signa Latina: How I Use It Help students visualize grammatical concepts by
associating them with physical actions s vs. h h vs. d Primary Sequence & Secondary Sequence
Signs help students start at what is it and build up to what is it called? Pluperfect vs. q
Correct mistakes by pointing out discrepancies between forms and their intended meanings Agricola canis amat. ???

Signa Latina: Activities
Substitutions: students take turns signing & speaking variations of a sentence, altering the target word
e.g., Agricola fugiet Translation: students read & sign in Latin
then translate into English Forms Memorization: play karaoke song, flashing
signs in rhythm to the beat; students call out appropriate Latin form
e.g., sum, es, est, sumus, estis, sunt
