Syllabus for Latin II
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 the CP2 course, a student must have completed Latin I with at least a “C” average and have teacher approval. Honors students must have at least an 85 average. Second year Latin presents advanced grammatical structures. There is a continuing emphasis on English derivatives as well as Latin phrases and quotations. Translation of Greek myths, stories about famous people, and Roman history provide the student with a rich cultural background in literature, history, and geography. Students will begin reading adapted Latin by Roman authors and authentic Latin in short poems.

Compose 4 sentences
Compose 4 sentences
- Each sentence should have 2 versions: one with a comparative and one with a superlative
- Use quam at least once with a comparative adj.: A is bigger quam B; I gave the reward to A (the soldier) braver than B: B is the same case as A.
- Use the ablative of comparison at least once with a comparative adj.: A is bigger than B (B is in the ablative); It seemsthat A (this student) is more prepared than B (that one): A is accusative because of indirect statement, so you can use ablative of comparison for B.
- Use a wide range of vocabulary, but make sure they are words you are supposed to know
- Do NOT use agricola, carrus, equus, puer, or puella.
