AP/IB Summer Preparation for Advanced Latin I. The single easiest and most effective way to be prepared for an Advanced Latin class, and, by extension, an AP or IB exam, is to KNOW VOCABULARY!!!!!! Attached are two lists: one of vocab words in the first six books of the Aeneid occurring 15+ times, and another of those occurring 9-14. They should be memorized ASAP including principle parts, gender, etc. There are dozens of websites devoted to the Aeneid and vocab. Google some and get started. AP sells vocab cards (laminating is a good way to avoid ruining your vocab cards while at the pool/beach). These will constitute the first few weeks’ vocab quizzes.
II. The other essential is an intimate knowledge of the events, personages, and themes of the Aeneid, especially the first six books. Attached is a people, places, things review over which there will be a summative test at the end of the third week of classes.
III. Rhetorical Devices: you must learn these. The ppt. is due the first full week of classes.
