Oxford Latin Reader: Teacher's Book

by Maurice Balme, James Morwood

This second edition of the Oxford Latin Course combines features of both modern and traditional methods of Latin teaching from first stages to GCSE. Part III is accompanied by a Reader consisting of extracts from Caesar, Cicero, Catullus, Virgil, Livy and Ovid. Completely revised and restructured in the light of a nationwide survey of Classics teachers, it provides an approach to Latin based on the reading of original texts. Parts I-III are built around a narrative detailing the life of Horace, based closely on historical sources, which helps students to develop an understanding of the times of Cicero and Augustus.

[Richelle · Rating 5 out of 5]

Good selection of passages, and as I recall the supplied vocabulary usually gave enough of the storyline away that you could sight-read the rest in class. Perfect for second year students.
