Latin III

World Languages

Beginning with a comprehensive review of grammar and syntax, Latin III transitions students from created Latin stories to translation of authentic, unabridged Latin texts by such authors as Augustus, Eutropius, Cicero, and Caesar. Emphasis is placed on accurate translation and interpretation of texts, as well as the locating of texts and their authors in their proper historical and cultural context. Remaining grammar topics - conditional statements, gerundives and more uses of the subjunctive mood - are mastered. The study of Roman history continues and incorporates discussions of Roman emperors, law and politics. W.134 & W.135/ Adv. Latin Literature A/B This advanced elective course is intended for students who have demonstrated mastery of Latin grammar and a strong interest in classical civilization. The class is conducted in a seminar format. The Roman authors we read rotate each year depending on curriculum and students may take the course in consecutive years and not repeat the curriculum. By the end of the course, students will have the requisite skills to self-study for the content of the AP Latin exam should they choose to do so.
