Grades: 9, 10, 11, 12
Full-Year

PREREQ: Latin proficiency - Intermediate Low 

This course allows students who already have experience reading and interpreting authentic Latin texts to explore the characteristics of Latin literature, as they spend the year reading passages from a variety of genres, including both poetry and prose. Students read extended passages of unadapted Latin and move beyond simple translation to analyze themes, characters, images, and important aspects of grammar and meter. Students must be comfortable with the process of reading and interpreting extended passages from Latin literature and have a strong grasp of the vocabulary and grammar introduced and practiced at the Intermediate Low level.
