    My preferred curriculum for high school Latin
  

*by N***A on Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2014*

OLC is not commonly adopted in the US, but I think that it has some very important advantages over its competitors in the inductive-grammar method market that should be considered.  (If you want a traditional grammar-method book for a class of accelerated gifted students, maybe look elsewhere.  That's a whole different animal.)1.  The use of Horace as a main character is an inspired alternative to Caecilius.  The trouble with Caecilius has always been that he has to die so soon, which cuts CLC largely free of primary sources.  The large body of autobiographical data in Horace's poetry allows for a continuing story which can be connected to primary sources in translation at early reading levels.  Also, since most students will go on to read Augustan literature before Flavian literature, it's very useful to have a late Republic-era main story.  (Plus Ecce characters have no primary source basis whatsoever.)2.  Culture chapters are, on the whole, more sophisticated than in the competition.3.  The inclusion of some English-to-Latin helps cut down on the misuse of the inductive grammar method (i.e. turning "inductive grammar" into "no grammar").4.  Since it's a single volume, rather than the two volumes that would make up a high school level Latin 1 in CLC (you need the red book AND the blue if you're teaching 9th grade or above!), it's easier to get your school/district to agree to buy you enough materials.5.  Syntax is more varied, even in early chapters, than most competitors; students are less likely to be shocked by sentences which start with something that's not the nominative.NB: Be aware that this book makes the idiosyncratic decision to delay teaching tenses other than the present.  While I think this is a very clever way to keep the workload manageable for mixed-ability classes due to the use of the historical present in Latin, if you/your district/your parents care about the National Latin exam, it's an issue.  I personally hate the NLE so I don't care.  Oh, and while most of the Latin is very well written, the "phi, phae, pho, phum" pun in the Polyphemus story is a little cringe-inducing. . .

    Oxford Course Good for First-Year Students
  

*by S***E on Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2004*

Having read some very critical reviews of this series, I wanted to say I have found it engaging and pretty well done. For my students, perhaps an overwhelming reason to choose it was the price, which compares very favorably with the $60 to $80 many conventional Latin texts cost.I agree with some critics it would be better if there were more supplementary materials and, for many teachers who were educated more traditionally, not introducing all the principal parts of verbs at once is an adjustment. However, I do feel there are many things to commend this series, including the heavy emphasis on reading for comprehension instead of just rote learning. It certainly introduces a lot of vocabulary in a short time and gives a context for it.All in all, my home school students have done well with this text.

    Lacks coordination between content and grammar/exercises
  

*by L***J on Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2007*

I used the first edition for a Latin course I taught 8+ years ago. I found and purchased this at a local State University (ASU) book store and could not believe this was intended for a college level course. I used it for group of HS level homeschoolers.I recently purchased the 2nd edition to teach Latin to my 12 and 9 year old sons. We've made it through 7 Lessons and although they are challenged to keep it all straight (declensions, conjugations, case, gender, number, agreement, ...) , they are succeeding.  If they were older I'd probably use Wheelock where you get real Latin jewels in the "sententiae antinquae".I'm a little disappointed in the 2nd Edition format. The grammar/exercises have been removed from the mainline content (reading passages, historical highlights) and placed in the back of the book. And there is no indication which execises should be given prior to content. So, if you are doing this on your own, you may want to first read the "cartoon" at the start of each chapter/lesson and then do all the grammar/exercises followed by the mainline content.  I'm tyring to interleave the exercises with content to make it more fun.Lastly, the Latin profanity in Lesson 6 is completely inappropriate.
