## Description

desertcart.com: Minimus Teacher's Resource Book: Starting out in Latin: 9780521659611: Bell, Barbara, Forte, Helen: Books

Review: Pricey, but worth it - As far as the price goes-- it is expensive, but the author clearly spent a lot of time on this resource. Once I examined it closely, I was very happy with my purchase. That said--- the resource book is essential for instructors who do not know Latin, but also very useful for those who do. I studied Latin in college and have taught it for many years. Nonetheless, I found the teacher's guide worthwile. It includes cultural information, great ideas for activities, and reproducable pages. If you are homeschooling and feel the teacher's manual is not cost-effective since you will only be reproducing the pages for one or two students, think about the cost of a private Latin tutor-- compare the tutor's hourly rate of $40-$100 (in major metropolitan areas) to the cost of the teacher's edition. I highly recommend the Minimus resource book both for teachers with no Latin experience and those with Latin experience. I have found it extremely helpful and useful even though I am proficient in Latin and have extensive teaching experience.
Review: Valuable Investment - This was definitely a pricey, yet worthwhile splurge. The translations and background material are helpful, especially for those not proficient in Latin. My students loved the activities, which include a family tree, paper dolls, games, Roman cursive, Roman numerals, maps and art activities. Along with this book, I used the workbook (cost £1) available on the Minimus Etc. site and Usborne: Roman Britain. The workbook contains valuable grammar practice.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Valuable Investment
*by T***. on May 25, 2018*

This was definitely a pricey, yet worthwhile splurge. The translations and background material are helpful, especially for those not proficient in Latin. My students loved the activities, which include a family tree, paper dolls, games, Roman cursive, Roman numerals, maps and art activities.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well worth the price and critical for success
*by V***8 on May 23, 2015*

This book is critical for teaching the Minimus series. The reproducible pages are important ancillary items and instrumental for getting the message across to younger children. I taught Latin at the middle and high school levels for my entire career and am now teaching my grandchildren--ages 6 - 11. I was concerned about the pace, since the high school curriculum, being IB- and AP-oriented, moved very rapidly, and I was afraid of confusing younger children and having them lose interest. The pace prescribed in the Teacher's Resource Book seems to be working very well and the idea of having an actual, documented family from Roman Britain as the focus of the text is brilliant.
