NEW GCSE SYLLABUS FOR 2010
The following books have been recently set for the GCSE Latin exam in 2010. The Tristia & Pro Cluentio are contained in the 'OCR Latin Anthology' which is not yet publicly available (current ETA May 2009).
Note: These texts apply to courses J081 & J281, two year courses which start in September 2009. A student who has studied J081 or J281 for one year can take them in 2010.
Latin Lit. - Poetry (1) : Ovid, Tristia I.iii, (1-34, 41-47,55-60,73-80)
Catullus 8, 51, 70, 85, 101
Sulpicia I
Horace Odes I.8
Latin Lit. - Poetry (2) : Virgil, Aeneid VI (295-332, 384-439, 679-724)
Latin Lit. - Prose (1) : Tacitus, Annals XII (64-69 abridged)
Cicero, Pro Cluentio V.11 - VI.18 (abridged)
Latin Lit. - Prose (2) : Druids, Boudicca, Mistletoe (Cambridge Latin Anthology)
In practice, for teachers starting the new syllabus in September 2009, the texts set for the 2011 examination will be more relevant. They are:
Prose 1: In Cluentio, Annals 12 (as in 2010)
Prose 2: CLA - Germanicus and Piso, Pythius, Clodia
Verse 1: Ovid Tristia etc (as in 2010)
Verse 2: Aeneid 2, selections
I hope this is all clear!!
