We follow the EDUQAS exam board (website below).
It's split into three parts:
Language: We'll continue to brush up our vocab and grammar: our goal is to be able to translate a range of stories centred around those Greek Myths which the Romans loved so much. Medusa, the Trojan War, Hippolyta, Alcyone - heroic deeds and tragic deaths make for fun and engaging translation topics.
Civilisation: How did the Romans live their lives? How did the daily routine of the wealthy, snobby patrons differ from the lowly slaves? What was the role of women in Roman society? Could you fight your way from the bottom rung to the highest echelons of power? We'll look at a wide range of Roman primary sources in an attempt to answer these questions, and many more.
Literature: Travel by Land and Sea: sea sickness, clattering wagons, dodgy donkeys - we'll experience the unfiltered words of real Roman authors as they attempt to travel around the Roman empire. We'll also explore how they use their language to evoke our sympathy, create dramatic stories and humiliate their enemies.
