Lower 6th Form Latin AYW(6) & KMO’B (6) The aim is to prepare scholars for the OCR AS examination HO39 by consolidating language proficiency and preparing two set texts. Set text work is embarked upon from September and should be completed by the end of the Lent term. The weeks leading up to the public examination period in the summer term are reserved for revision and examination practice. A number of periods a fortnight are allocated for language work which can consist of unseen translation, elementary prose composition and grammar/syntax. Prep consists of a combination of literary and language work. Scholars are asked to prepare set texts and to be ready to complete a context question in class. Scholars will also be asked to learn vocabulary and grammar for regular testing. Unseen translation of Latin prose and the translation of English sentences into Latin is a weekly feature. There are two papers: AS Unit L1 (F361) Latin Language  Scholars should be familiar with the language of the authors of the 1st century BC and the 1st century AD.  Scholars should be able to recognise, analyse and/deploy the accidence and syntax listed in the OCR appendices C1 and C2.
