| In Latin 2, students learn how to read, write,
and speak in increasingly complex Latin sentences. Students
achieve these goals by translating Latin passages into clear
English and by translating simple English into Latin. Students
respond orally and in writing to Latin questions asked about
the content of their assigned reading passages. In addition,
students continue to learn about Roman culture, mythology, and
history from the founding of the Rome to the early Roman empire. |

earned
a grade of B+
or better
in Latin I and to have demonstrated a very strong work ethic
in regards to homework and test preparation. Honors level students
should be prepared for an extra challenging curriculum. |
