This volume is designed to accompany the OCR A-Level specification
in Latin (first teaching September 2016), with practice unseen
passages from Livy, the set prose for Paper 1, together with
passages from a selection of other writers to support Paper 2, for
which no author is set. A bank of 80 passages aims to take Sixth
Form students from the level of heavily adapted post-GCSE
('AS'-equivalent) passages and develop their knowledge and skills
to reach A-Level standard. But this is not just a book of unseen
passages: there is a chronological progression through the unseens
in order to give the reader a sense of the narrative of Roman
history, exploring key events through the words of original texts.
Every passage begins with an introduction, outlining the basic
content of the passage, followed by a 'lead-in' sentence,
paraphrasing the few lines before the passage begins. Part 1
passages are straight translation exercises on the model of the
A-Level Paper 1. They also feature, however, a 'Discendum' box,
highlighting a facet of Latin prose with which students may not be
familiar, or extension questions on grammar and style. Part 2
passages are accompanied by questions on comprehension, translation
and grammar, replicating the demands of Paper 2 in full. An
extensive word list is provided in the form of checklists which
build the reader's knowledge of the most commonly occurring words
and phrases in Latin prose. The passages are punctuated with
discussions of Roman history during the periods covered in the
passages, and a comprehensive introduction includes portraits of
the authors featured in the book, as well as grammatical reminders
to help readers deal with both the trickier elements of unseen
prose and with A-Level grammatical analysis questions.
