Year 10 – Latin

Head of Subject: Mr C Bromley

Intended Outcomes

Students should be able to recognise how Latin syntax is structured and be able to follow the steps for translation. This is by translating each word individually then restructuring into sensible English, also fundamentally by spotting nominatives, accusatives and who is performing the verb by knowing the verb endings. This forms the rudiments of how to tackle translation. They will also become skilled in word derivation and therefore the way cognates assist greatly in translating.

Students should also develop an appreciation of ancient literature (through extracts adapted for purpose) and towards the end of Yr10 have a knowledge of the foundation of the city of Rome, its trade, its geography, its social structure and the everyday lives of the Romans.
