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.

All of the noun case uses needed for GCSE, summarised and colour-coded on two revision sheets, plus examples. I use these sheets with my students as a pre-exam memory jogger to check that they understand and can recall all of the possible ways in which the cases can be used. An A4-page version of the five declensions in all cases, singular and plural, is also included. This can be printed by students for easy revision. Also included is a set of ten sentences (invented by me) in which students have to identify the case, reason for the case usage and translate. An answer key can be seen on the final page. The examples used are directly relevant to the OCR GCSE Latin vocabulary list, so that students can revise efficiently. Particularly useful for students taking the grammar comprehension section of the Language paper, in which they have to identify a particular noun case and why it is used. Included: Pages 1 and 2 = overview of uses of the cases (Nominative, Vocative, Accusative, Genitive, Dative and Ablative Page 3 = noun table with five declensions, singular and plural Page 4 = ten practice sentences Page 5 = colour-coded answer key

These practice questions were made for my students who are sitting the Latin GCSE in Summer 2023 and 2024, covering excerpts from Aeneid Book 6. The first section features a variety of exam-style questions ranging from 1 to 6-marks, to allow students to practise their comprehension and analytical skills after covering the lines. The second section features 8- and 10-mark essay questions. After preparing students for the OCR Latin GCSE for the last 10 years, I know exactly what kinds of questions will come up in the paper. Practising with this booklet will prepare students perfectly for all of the question types that they will meet in the 2023 and 2024 examinations.

This booklet was made for my students who are sitting the Latin GCSE in Summer 2023 and 2024, covering excerpts from Aeneid Book 6. The student booklet gives background information and context on Virgil’s life, an Aeneid plot overview and information about the Sibyl and Underworld. 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 GCSE vocabulary list, or which they cannot be expected to guess. I have also included a translation of the lines from Book 6 which are not included in the examined text, so that students do not miss out on the full storyline. The second document is a teacher translation, which gives a more literal translation of the lines than offered by most texts. This can be used either independently by the teacher to prep for the lessons, or to guide students through their own translations. I always use booklets like this to teach the Literature aspect of the GCSE 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 booklet was made for my students who are taking Verse Literature A (Passions and Poisons) in Summer 2022. It assumes some knowledge of the Aeneid storyline, as they had previously covered this for Verse Literature B. It is to be used alongside the OCR Latin Anthology for GCSE (McDonald & Widdess) and GCSE Latin Set Texts (Sumner) for vocabulary and style points, but this booklet gives contextual background to the three texts as well as some 8-mark practice questions and 10-mark essay questions (invented by me based on previous exam papers).

The pictures covered in the booklet will be shown and asked about in the examinations for the next two years.

I have also given it to students for independent study/homework tasks.

This resource contains revision prompts for the uses of the subjunctive required for GCSE Latin, as well as the imperfect and pluperfect endings. These are followed by 10 practice sentences (invented by me) in which students have to highlight the subjunctive verb, explain why it is in the subjunctive and translate. An answer key is included.

Word Document containing Latin imperfect and perfect tense verb endings, colour-coded for easy recall.

Can act as an introduction to the two past tenses, or function as a revision sheet or visual aid at the end of the Stage.
