Description

Syllabus for Latin IV (AP)

Grammatical appendix for Caesar (The link in the book is incorrect.)

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).

The Advanced Placement Program in Latin is the culmination of the high school program and focuses on developing the skills of sight reading, translating, reading comprehension, and analysis of texts in Latin. The College Board has established selections from Virgil’s Aeneid and Caesar’s Commentaries on the Gallic War in the original, unadapted Latin as the core of the curriculum. In addition to translating the texts, students will examine their themes and find connections between the two and express their ideas in essays.
