This course follows the College Board's AP Latin Curriculum for Vergil. It cannot be called AP Latin until the College Board grants its approval of the syllabus, a process just begun for the first time this year. Students read all assigned passages from the Aeneid, with an eye both to the nuances of language and the literary qualities of Vergil's poem, including Latin metrics and figures of speech, and be prepared to perform well on the AP Exam for Vergil. The student should start off able to read 7-15 lines of Vergil per week and gradually acquire fluency and stamina to read up to 120 lines.Prerequisites
Latin III or equivalent. Serious preparation in Latin prose and history. Students not entering through Latin III should contact the instructor: the course begins at an easy pace, but accelerates continuously throughout the year.
Recommended background
Western Literature to Dante is highly recommended, but by no means required; familiarity with the Homeric epics is recommended as well, but the material will be covered.
Teacher's notes:
Students in the past have routinely scored well on the Latin AP Exam, but the AP Exam is not required.
