Each of the six sessions takes 40 minutes to an hour to complete, depending on the speed of the student or class. This allows the class to complete one Oerberg Lectiō/Lesson per week. The fifth day is dedicated to a grammar quiz and Roman culture lesson (daily life in Rome, history, mythology, etc.)įor days one to three, we work through two sessions each day (six sessions for the week), one session in class, and one session at home. For three days of the week, we work together through what I have termed "sessions." The fourth day is dedicated to vocabulary review (flashcard games) and exercises that practice the new vocabulary and grammar for the lesson. I expect around 30 minutes of homework outside of class. My classes meet five days per week for 55 minutes per class.
My new daily schedule includes a much wider variety of activities with a much shorter time assigned to each individual activity.
I've held tightly to the philosophy that students need plenty of time to assimilate new information so that they can remember it and use it ( multum, nōn multa!) To that end, I've been shrinking the size of each individual reading session, usually to less than ten lines, and increasing students' practice time with the new words acquired in each session. Over the last few years, I've refined my LLPSI curriculum, methods, and pacing.
