Description
Advanced Latin offers a range of material to help students build and develop the knowledge and skills needed for A2 and Pre-U Latin. There are 24 translation and comprehension exercises, based on passages taken predominantly from Livy, Caesar, and Ovid. These match exactly the requirements of A2, but the passages work equally well as unseens for those working towards Pre-U.
Six further passages are offered for unseen translation only and are designed to stretch the most able. There are then 12 passages of continuous prose for translation into Latin, each supported by notes to help the student, and an appendix that contains a comprehensive English-Latin vocabulary.
To support the study of A2 and Pre-U literature, there are short commentaries on sample passages from each of the prescribed authors, demonstrating a variety of interpretative approaches. In addition, for each author, there is an annotated bibliography to guide both teacher and student to the most useful secondary literature available.
A separate section focuses on the Pre-U unseen literary criticism option and offers six practice passages.
