Below are a few notes from the author team to consider when using the chapter with your students.
scripta! We hope you'll feel excited to think about different ways to use these materials. They offer a flexible route into Latin literature and we've picked some of the best bits from a wide range of texts.
At KS4, it might work best to choose a text and read it in English as a quick window into a genre; you could play vocab games with individual Latin words or use the derivations tasks to extend literacy. Or, you might find the scripta a great way to open a Y12 A Level course because the Latin has been adapted to avoid complex A Level grammar.
Online you'll find notes for each text; these will help students transition to using OCR endorsed A Level set text editions effectively. There are literary analysis questions too so that students can develop their understanding of literary effects.
