AP LATIN  (2 Credits/Full Year)     

ADVANCED PLACEMENT LATIN 
(2 credits – Full year course)
(WLA5032, WLA5033)           

This course is in general conformity with college Latin studies in the fourth through sixth semesters.  The basic objective is to progress in reading, translating, understanding, analyzing, and interpreting Latin.  Students are expected to be able to translate the poetry or prose they are reading accurately from Latin into English and to demonstrate a grasp of grammatical structures and vocabulary.  Since the appreciation of Latin literature requires an understanding of the literary techniques of Latin writers and of poetic meters when appropriate, stylistic analysis is an integral part of the advanced work in this course.  In addition, the course includes the study of cultural, social, and political context of the literature on the syllabus. Prerequisite: H LATIN 5 with teacher recommendation.
