As a 6th grade Latin and grammar teacher, I am always eager to integrate my subjects so that my students are practicing the skills of both subjects simultaneously. I have found Excellence in Writing to be a fantastic tool which enables me to do just this: during our preposition unit, we added the preposition dress-up and sentence starter. We were also doing a preposition unit in Latin and I taught my students about the plethora of derivatives which stem from Latin prepositions, which they were then able to use in their writing.
