SITES HELPFUL TO STUDENTS OF LATIN I, II, III
Students of Latin I, II, and III: if you use no other site for study and review, use this one. It provides instant lookup with definition and grammatical analysis of any word in any CLC story through Stage 38. Once there click on CLC Sitemap, then on a given Roman numeral under Online Activities, then on Explore the Story at the desired stage number. Don't overlook the stage-by-stage Vocab Testers.
Games of all kinds to help you learn or review the Cambridge Latin Course checklists, Stages 1 and up.

Sites accessed through this page relate to cultural essay material of individual stages in CLC Units I, II, III, and IV. For example, the Stage 1 link goes into detail about a specific Pompeian house, the villa of Pansa. The Stage 2 link has instructions for draping a toga. The Stage 12 link, among other things, has a computer simulation of the Vesuvius eruption. Links go as high as Stage 39.

Presentations to strengthen conjugating of verbs and to master indirect statement.

This is the place if you want to zap your old friend Caecilius, play word games, or learn to navigate Pompeii. Not for intellectual snobs though.

Goofy but entertaining for Latin I students.

This site is a large collection of links to photographs and articles, everything from houses and gardens to the plumbing system.
General interest sites for the ancient world:
SITES HELPFUL TO ADVANCED LATIN STUDENTS OF VERGIL
http://www.nodictionaries.com - This one really helps because it is faster than anything else I have seen. It is also set up in an interlinear format that will please. Unlike Perseus (see below), it shows you the information you want next to the word you are looking for, not in a box. It includes many, many Latin authors. Therefore, the post-V LATIN FANATICS group reading Sallust, Cicero, and Martial will have an immediate use for it as they work through their reading assignments.
http://vergil.classics.upenn.edu/vergil/index.php/document/index/document_id/1 - This one really helps; and, unlike Perseus (see below), I have found it to be consistently quick in its oracular responses.
This is the Perseus Digital Library, a must. When you get to the site, click on Classical Texts - Latin.
Scroll down the page to select the author, text, and line you desire, for example, Vergil, Aeneid, IX.47. The advantage of this site is that there is no more moving back and forth between separate dictionary, translation, grammar, and commentary. All that is replaced by split-screen windows. Dictionary definitions and word analyses are linked to text. Translation of single words, even commentary, is provided as standard at the click of a mouse. Cut and paste to form a customized vocabulary list, or create a notepad and rough out a translation as you read through the daily assignment. Print it off, put it in your ringbinder, and bring it to class.http://www.ablemedia.com/ctcweb/netshots/vergil.htm
This site offers a book-by-book breakdown of the action of the entire Aeneid. It also has an essay on Vergil's "Romanitas." For example, it shows how Vergil changed the value system characteristic of the Greek Homeric epics, which emphasized heroic individualism.
http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~classics/poetry_and_prose/poetry.html
This site features a good and careful reader of Vergil's original Latin.
This page leads to the single most valuable and up-to-date description of the 2009/10 AP Vergil Exam. Everything about the format of the May exam is here.
SITES HELPFUL TO ADVANCED LATIN STUDENTS OF CATULLUS
The Catullus Society
http://www.informalmusic.com/Catullus/
Idiosyncratic commentary, translation, and biography of Catullus in that order:
http://community.middlebury.edu/~harris/Texts/catullus3.html
http://community.middlebury.edu/~harris/LatinAuthors/Catullus.htmlhttp://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~loxias/catullus.htm
Illustrated Catullus!
This site offers students taking the AP Catullus exam a capsule summary and translation of every poem in the AP syllabus plus a word-by-word commentary on the Latin text. It is useful for purposes of review as a place to get questions answered when the teacher is not around. A word of caution: the translations are so free that an rigorous grader would fail them all, and the commentary offered (Merrill's) is inferior to Quinn's. This site supports, rather than replaces, your class notes.
