Latin II Honors provides more difficult Latin novellas to read than Latin I or Latin II, and expands more quickly the range of vocabulary and complexity of sentences that a student reads. The course develops interpretive reading skills mostly at the intermediate-low level and examines more themes of Roman culture, history, and mythology, especially that might contribute to understanding the authors of the golden age period of Latin literature. Some attention is given to the other three areas of proficiency: writing, listening, and speaking Latin, but reading comprehension is the main focus.
