AP Latin (Period 3)

Course Description

Welcome to my AP Latin website!

 
Here you will find attachments of my class syllabus, the study log format, and any handouts on projects or study guides. Links to helpful AP sites are also provided.
 
Please note that grades are updated every 2-3 weeks on Aeries. The best way to reach me is through e-mail, which I will respond to within 24 hours during school hours. If an e-mail is sent after school hours, on the weekend, or on a holiday or vacation day, I will reply within 24 hours of school being back in session. you may also leave a voicemail at the school number, ext. 335.
 
Students have the opportunity once again to join the Junior Classical League (JCL), a nationally recognized organization for students of Latin. This organization provides students with opportunities for scholarship and the chance to go to the California State Latin Convention to compete academically and socialize with other Latin students across the state. 
 
This semester will begin with Vergil's Aeneid and move on to Caesar's Gallic Wars in the spring. We have a tight schedule to keep and it is important that we try to stay on task to cover all the required lines for the exam in May.
 
I will try to post homework questions on the website, however, periodically they will be posted in the classroom. It is the student's responsibility to check the homework board AND the website on a regular basis.
