Latin 4

Latin 4 is an elective course offered in Grades 11 and 12 that serves to refine all grammar skills and to apply these skills to the reading and translation of Latin literature. The student studies in-depth selected works of Latin literature. Emphasis is on increasing comprehension, refining skills for critical analysis, and enhancing the student's ability to respond to the aesthetic elements of literature. Continued attention is given to the acquisition of Latin vocabulary, especially those words/idioms particular to authors read and to the varying connotations of familiar words.
