Description

Syllabus for Latin III

Latin Club

Please remember to check "Links" on my main page for information relevant to all classes, such as the list of Latin prayers (with links to videos to help with pronunciation).

In order to qualify for this course, a student must have completed Latin II with at least a “B” average and have teacher approval. In the third year, the student continues to master a number of Latin constructions and reviews systematically for the words, forms, and rules of syntax studied. The student develops an ability to understand Latin by translating authentic and adapted texts, including Caesar’s Commentaries on the Gallic War, Cicero’s “Ad Catilinam”, and poems by Horace, Virgil, and Ovid. Other authors will be included.
