Latin 3 (H)
Latin 3 students complete their study of Latin grammar, which is an impressive accomplishment! They also begin to examine different types of Latin poetry, including Catullus, Virgil and Ovid, learning to recognize several lyric meters, as well as the meter of epic poetry, dactylic hexameter. As students work through a portion of the Aeneid, they prepare well for the AP Latin exam.

Topics include: gerunds, gerundives, participles, deponent verbs, conditional sentences and the subjunctive mood.
