No Technology Available: Cards
This is good for any level of higher technology, too. There are 2 sets of cards: one with the entire caption for each tense, and one with only the Latin. The instructions are on the sheet, but basically you cut out the cards and give them to the student to put in the correct order, first with the entire caption, then with only the Latin.
Have the student take a set of the cards and put them in the proper time order. Mix them up until he can do it correctly. Then, take the next set of cards, which has the Latin without the English, and have him put them in order and translate them. You can give him the winding road to begin with, and then have him do it on a blank surface.
Learning style: good for the non-sequential student, who learns things with no link to each other. This way, he can learn the information just as it is presented, and doesn’t have to worry about how it blends into the whole.
