Interesting! I will compare the list of essential Latin vocabulary to the one I've used all these years. High school Latin has changed dramatically since you sat in my classes. Dr. Richard LaFleur revised the Wheelock book (still my favorite). The current pedagogy includes more short stories at the Latin 1 level, with far less emphasis on grammar and syntax. An attempt to make Latin more "fun" and relevant to this generation. Our students take it more for vocabulary acquisition. However, post Latin 2 readings in Caesar, it still looks much like it did before. I haven't taught Latin for the last seven years, but observe in classes. I enjoyed incorporating internet resources towards the end of my teaching career, but I'm old and still enjoyed simply sharing the texts of great writers with the students. Loved sitting in a circle and reading together. These resources will be entertaining for me personally! Thanks for sharing this.
