Free lesson packs for Latin and history classes

Each pack is one ready lesson of 45 to 50 minutes, built around one of our anthems: an epic song in Latin that tells a story from Roman history, written from Livy, with the Latin and English lyrics on screen. Students hear Latin sung, learn vocabulary and grammar from it, and practise telling legend from history.
