Joyful Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 If a student takes AP Latin before his/her senior year of high school, what's next if the intention is to keep studying Latin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skimomma Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I know Lukeion has Latin 5 and Latin 6. I'm not sure what is entailed since my dd is already planning her I'm-done-with-Latin-forever party after the AP exam in May. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathy in Richmond Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 My daughter knew that she wanted to continue Latin studies in college, so she self-studied using Bolchazy Carducci materials after completing the AP level. BC sells texts and workbooks for Horace, Ovid, Cicero, and Catullus (and more, but that's what we used) and the Excelability book to keep grammar fresh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corraleno Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 You can do independent study with Lukeion (Latin 5 & 6) or just read and study on your own. DS did a 5th year of Greek on his own, using the Steadman readers. He focused on Homer and took the Homeric NGE as a final exam for a course grade. There are NLEs for Latin 5 & 6 you could use for a final exam if you choose the self-study option. Bolchazy Carducci is a good source of Latin readers. You could also look on various college websites and see what texts they use in their 5th & 6th semester Latin classes and order them from Amazon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathy in Richmond Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 :iagree: Yes to the NLE's. Dd took the level 5/6 test as a sort of final exam during her self-study year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyforlatin Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 DD is signed up for Latin 5 Cicero with Lukeion. Memoria Press has a Cicero live class which I would have preferred, but DD was insistent about Lukeion, even though there is no class live. Lukeion's Cicero does require 4 essays which MP does not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyful Posted March 10, 2018 Author Share Posted March 10, 2018 So, basically, after AP Latin, the students have enough Latin knowledge to study their own reading course? I've read about Lukeion's self-study course. Would be curious to hear how that works out. The Memoria Press live course on Cicero is new to me. Will jot that down and look it up. Thx.

For Lukeion they are fine with a student taking Cicero or Ovid before AP Latin. I would think that any student of Latin should have a teacher to guide them. My plan is to find one on TakeLessons.com should it come to that, but Lukeion claims they will offer more independent classes beyond Cicero and Ovid. Lukeion still corrects independent work.

Joyful Posted March 11, 2018 Author Share Posted March 11, 2018 I'm glad that Lukeion instructors will correct the independent work. I guess we will still need to have our Latin tutor's help after AP Latin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like the level 5/6 NLE is one combined exam for both years, is this correct? I'm confused because Lukeion's website mentions that a student can choose, for Latin 5, between Ovid and Cicero. Is there enough of Ovid to cover an entire year of material? This is what DD would love to do. She is not a big fan of Cicero.

This is what DD would love to do. She is not a big fan of Cicero. Yes, the NLE level 5/6 is one exam. The grading cutoffs for the gold, silver, etc medals are just harsher in year 6. My daughter did a semester of Ovid using this text by Ed DeHoratius, which was written to align with the old AP Latin Lit exam. But Ovid wrote much more than that, and you could certainly study his writings for an entire year. My daughter & I loved Ovid more than Cicero, too. So much so that we both treated ourselves to this Loeb Classical Library volume last Christmas. And there are more when that's done! :) :D 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serendipitous journey Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 DD is signed up for Latin 5 Cicero with Lukeion. Memoria Press has a Cicero live class which I would have preferred, but DD was insistent about Lukeion, even though there is no class live. Lukeion's Cicero does require 4 essays which MP does not. May I ask why you'd prefer the MP class: is it the live component? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyforlatin Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 May I ask why you'd prefer the MP class: is it the live component? For DD's personality, yes a live class is always better, but a non-dynamic teacher in a live class is worse than an asynchronous class, just based on past experience. So in this case I know Dd will still work hard because it's Amy Barr's class. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
