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.

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.

Perfect for last-minute revision. All of the Latin lines from the Advance Information (Summer 2022 exam). English translation underneath for easy revision. Possible analysis questions included at the bottom of the page (predicted questions which might come up in the exam).

This set of six lessons (Powerpoints and worksheets) are great for teaching students more about the Great Fire of London. I used it for KS2&3 students, but they could definitely be adapted for KS1. With information on primary sources (e.g. Samuel Pepys’ diary), craft activities (making a small Tudor house) and coded writing (Shelton’s Shorthand System), learning about the Great Fire is an immersive, interactive and memorable experience with these resources.

These Powerpoints give students more practice with the two different past tenses in Latin. Using the sheep and vampire images to enable easy recall of the clue letters, students are able to differentiate between the stem, clue and ending using colour coding. The sentences used are taken from Stage 6 of Cambridge Latin Course Book 1. Can be used to check student comprehension of the differences between imperfect and perfect tense translation.

The sheep and vampire pictures help students to associate the different clue letters with a memorable image, and to remember to translate the two tenses differently.

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.
