OCR A Level Verse Set Texts Aeneid 2 Student Booklet (2025/6 Exam)

This 84-page booklet was made for my students who are sitting the Latin A Level in Summer 2025 and 2026, covering excerpts from Aeneid Book 2.

The student booklet gives background information and context on Virgil’s life, an Aeneid plot overview and information about the historical context involving Augustus. It then features the lines of Latin text spaced widely apart for students to add their own notes and separated into manageable chunks for memorisation. Each set of lines is also accompanied by a vocabulary table for words which students do not already know from their A Level vocabulary list, or which they cannot be expected to guess.

At the end of each section is a set of exam-style questions for the students to test their knowledge and comprehension of the text.

I always use booklets like this to teach the Literature aspect of the A Level course, as it allows the students to engage with the text more directly by writing their own vocabulary and notes directly onto the lines. This is perfect for saving time while preparing to teach Aeneid 2 to your students.
