Students in AP Latin will work on the AP Latin Syllabus and prepare themselves to take the AP Latin Exam. The first half of the course focuses on completing the Latin passages from Caesar’s De Bello Gallico that students will need to be familiar with for the AP Latin Exam. The second half of the course will be devoted to reading Latin passages from Vergil’s Aeneid. In the second half of the course, students will also learn how to scan Vergil’s poetry and become familiar with the important rhetorical devices used by Vergil in his epic poem.
Completion of this course requires regular access to a laptop or desktop computer with working microphone and webcam, as well as a reliable internet connection.
This Fixed-Paced course incorporates a blend of synchronous and asynchronous elements. Students and teacher meet live via zoom on a regular weekly schedule. In addition, students complete coursework including guided readings, interactive videos, text and video-based discussion threads, problem sets, individual and collaborative projects, and so on. While these activities are time-flexible, teachers sequence them with weekly deadlines to help students keep on track and encourage and support the development of productive time management skills.
