Latin IV

This advanced course of Latin emphasizes reading, translating, and composing skills. Students will have an opportunity to read various ancient texts. In the past, such texts have included Livy's Ab Urbe Condita, Apuleius’ Cupid and Psyche, and Ovid’s Metamorphoses. Students will prepare independent, creative projects to complement and enhance their reading of the authors, although grammar analysis, vocabulary, composition, etymology, and translation are the core elements of the class. Students in Latin IV participate in the National Latin Exam. After Latin IV, students have a choice of going on to AP Latin, Advanced Topics: Prose, or Advanced Topics: Poetry.
