Latin 2
Vocabulary “Ladder” Drill
Chapter 23 (pages 199 & 200)
1. Number a lined piece of paper from 1 – 21.
2. Starting at the bottom (i.e. number 21), place the Latin words on the left
side of the page and the English definitions on the right side of the page.
Begin with the words you know very well and proceed upward with the
words you know less well (i.e. number 21 is the easiest word and number 1
is the hardest for you).
3. Fold the paper in half so that the Latin words (and principal parts) are on
one side and the English words are on the other side.
4. Get with a partner and read the Latin words (and principal parts, if
applicable) and provide the definition to your partner. Try to “climb the
ladder” as high as you can. When you miss one, your partner tells you what
the word means and then takes his or her turn. Keep repeating this until
you get to the top! Also, go both English to Latin and Latin to English.
