Course summary

Building on what you have learned at GCSE, you will become able to translate with increasing confidence, to appreciate literary technique and to develop your own skills of literary criticism through close reading and discussion of prose and verse texts. You will also learn to collect relevant evidence and to present an argument based on that evidence. Thus, the course develops skills needed in a wide range of careers demanding the ability to analyse and assess. By studying Latin in the Sixth Form you will learn to evaluate Latin poetry and prose in its original form. You will also learn about the historical and cultural background of the works studied and will see just how influential both the Latin language and the culture of the Roman Empire have been for us today.
