Classical Workbooks help students to master the texts set for
The Latin
of these set texts is usually much harder than the student has so far
experienced. Therefore each workbook starts with a word for word translation. This enables the student to get up to speed and to approach Latin as a language, rather than as a word
puzzle to be laboriously decoded.
GCSE Latin – 2012 set books (£10 ea)
Virgil, Aeneid II, 268-795 (Escape from Blazing Troy)
- Pliny 7.27 ("Ghosts"), Livy 1.16, Suetonius
[Note: the 2011 specification for Aeneid II ended at 792. I will create a page for the extra lines.]
GCSE Latin – 2013 set books (£10 ea)
Virgil, Aeneid XII, 697-765, 887-952 (due Jan 2012)
GCSE Latin – Unit 401/2, Latin Language 1 & 2
Fabulae Faciles 1: The Adventures of Hercules - £10
- Fabulae Faciles 2: Jason and the Argonauts, Ulysses - £12
Ritchie’s Fabulae Faciles are recommended in OCR’s Sample Scheme of Work (SOW) for Unit 401. These two books contain 90 stories about Hercules, the Argonauts and Ulysses. A student who has worked through both will have learnt to sight-read 2,000 lines of Latin and be well prepared for the GCSE and AS language papers.
Please note: To enable the student to read quickly each story is accompanied by a word for word translation. Therefore these books will not suit teachers who believe students should work out their own translations.
