Learning activities include discussions of the stems or classic words; analogy, synonym, and context exercises; classic words challenges; discussions on grammar and usage; excerpts from writings by Julius Caesar and from Shakespeare’s play about him; original writings by Michael; and more.

Caesar's English I contains twenty lessons, each introducing five Latin stems (for odd-numbered lessons) or five classic words (for even-numbered lessons). Students alternate between learning the stems that our academic words are built upon and the classic words identified by Michael Clay Thompson as being prominently used among the great writers of English and American literature. Learning activities include discussions of the stems or classic words, analogies exercises, synonym and antonym exercises, Spanish cognates that use the same stems as those used in the English words, Latin sayings with translations, short biographies of major authors, word searches, excerpts from Julius Caesar's writings, activities designed to allow students to manipulate and play with the vocabulary, and more.

Get ready for some serious fun. This classical education edition of Caesar's English has been designed especially for you. We have spared no effort to make this book an amazing experience. It is filled with photos, maps, facts, ideas, grammar, poems, writing challenges, and words that will give you a deep look at ancient Roman civilizations and the effect of that civilization on modern English language. Without realizing it, we speak Latin, or slightly altered Latin, much of the time. Thousands of English words are still spelled the same way and still mean the same thing that they did during the Roman Empire, 2000 years ago.

Caesar’s English I teaches children important vocabulary while giving them wide-ranging insight into the ancient world and its contributions to our lives, including the language of the ancient Romans: Latin, which is the foundation of modern academic English.\nThe book is bursting with exercises and activities. The twenty lessons are based on Latin stems and lists of nonfiction words made from those stems, as well as lists of classic words. There are analogies, synonyms, antonyms, and word searches. In addition, there is a grammar component that demonstrates how vocabulary is used in the context of grammar. The book contains numerous examples of how great writers have used the vocabulary words, as well as excellent nonfiction essays that explore the history and architecture of ancient Roman civilization and poems written by Michael himself, some of which are translated into Spanish to illustrate the Latin foundation of both languages. Writing activities include paragraph-writing assignments and exercises in which students rewrite the sentences of great authors. Other sections provide short introductions to major authors whose works are used in the examples. Insight into the Roman world is enhanced by gorgeous photographs of Roman sites and artifacts.\nThe Classical Education Edition of Caesar’s English I is filled with so many extra elements that the book is too large to be handled easily by children. As a result, the student book comes in two parts.\nAs an added bonus, the book contains QR codes that link to audio of Michael reading his poems and exploring some of the classic words presented in the book. This enables students to hear the words in context and to know how they are pronounced.
