Latin AP

This course follows the newly revised College Board Advanced Placement Latin curriculum designed to prepare students for the examination in May. This year students will read selections from Vergil’s Aeneid and Pliny’s Letters in Latin, as well as extensive readings from both authors in translation.  Students will also read a selection of Latin prose and poetry authors; these authors may change from year to year based on students’ interest. This curriculum requires competency in both fluent reading and analysis of prose and poetry. Students will review grammar through the readings, and vocabulary is tested regularly to improve translation speed. The course includes a Spring Project, literary analysis through essay writing, as well as translation skills. This course requires total commitment on the part of each student and will demand extra preparation and participation.
