ksoika Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Do I need the teacher's manual for Minimus Latin? I took Latin for years & years growing up so I don't need much hand holding but I want the instructions to make sense. Should I spend the $70 on it or can I get away without it? Thanks!

NittanyJen Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 It depends upon what you want to get out of it. Some of the TM is, obviously, just the translation and classroom ideas. You can use Minimus and have a very fun time without the TM. However, the TM does give additional background about the town and people you will be reading about, filling in the story more and giving interesting background information. Only you can decide whether that is worth the price to you. You may be able to keep your eyes peeled for a second-hand copy. I would think the mini-books (one for each main character) would be even more valuable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momling Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 We found it useful... Also, we sold it for the same price we bought it for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LucyStoner Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 The teacher's resource book also has many reproducible worksheets for each chapter that my son enjoyed doing. If you are using it with a younger kid especially, the worksheets seem like a great thing to me. Also, it has a very high resale price.
