Extremely detailed handwritten annotations for each section of the prescribed text - Messalina. These notes are very condensed so, although they were written on A4, if you can I would advise that they are printed on A3 just so they are easier to read (the print is still legible at A4 size, however). These notes are more than enough to guarantee you an A* at GCSE WJCE Level 2 Latin literature, the annotations include notes on style, grammar, word positioning, literary devices, and the effect of all of the above. These notes are directly tailored to the WJCE:9542 specification and have been organized with lots of colors, making it a perfect resource for students and teachers - as you go through the text section by section you can make sure you do not miss anything, this will give you a structured lesson and efficient revision. For every section, there is one page of annotations on the official Latin text (the exact same copy will be available in the exam you take in May/June 2017)

This guide includes a revision tracker, worksheets on the present tense, imperfect tense, perfect tense, and noun endings, and vocabulary revision charts for all twelve stages of the Cambridge Latin Course.

These detailed course / revision notes were specially written to give GCSE Classical Civilization students a comprehensive understanding of the key knowledge from the specification for Women in the Ancient World: OCR GCSE Classical Civilisation (9-1) Women of Legend Young Women Women in the home 'Improper’ Women Women and religion Women and power Warrior Women Women to be Feared Each of the above is split into two sections: Greece, firstly, and then Rome. These extensive notes are especially useful for students whose note-taking in lesson isn’t as good as others, or whose organisational skills mean they are missing notes/handouts on certain topics / areas. These notes will certainly help reduce the time it takes them to catch up with their peers, and also students like to use these as a checklist of topics to go into in further detail. They give peace of mind that every corner of the specification/syllabus has been covered. These notes can be given to students to work through at their own pace, or split up and given to students as and when each part of the content is studied throughout the course. As the teacher you may find it useful to go through the notes with my students as they highlight and annotate them with anything extra you want to give them according to their level. These notes though are comprehensive and detailed and work just as well as a stand alone revision aid as they do an in-class resource. Hopefully these notes help to save your students (and you!) some time in the hectic run up to exams. Thanks for taking a look :)

This lesson was designed for my pupils studying OCR Classical Civilisation 9-1 GCSE. It provides an excellent in-depth look at the Roman Domus / Villa - the household and home of wealthy Romans / Roman Patricians. The lesson is dual coded and there is an emphasis in reducing excess ‘noise’ in the PowerPoint file - allowing pupils to easily access the content without distraction. There is also a yellow overlay on each slide to aid any pupils with irlens / dyslexia (this can easily be removed though by clicking on the overlay on each slide and pressing ‘delete’). The lesson begins with a look at a map of Pompeii to allow pupils to see the prevalence of the Domus in a Roman city and then pupils are given a handout (included as a slide to be printed off) of a typical domus floor plan with a key and pupils must colour code both. Once pupils thus have an understanding of the uses of the rooms in a typical domus and what they were called, there is a handout (again, included as a slide) to be printed off of extra info where pupils are encouraged to highlight key points and use to make extra notes to supplement their work up to this point. There is then a short 3 minute video embedded in the next slide which summarises what pupils should have learnt up to this point. Having established the key features of a typical domus, pupils are then presented with the floor plans of three important Roman villas in Herculaneum and Pompeii: The House of the Wooden Partition The House of Menander The House of Octavius Quartio Pupils are prompted to compare the floorplans and key features of these houses to their ‘typical’ domus floorplan and pick out similarities and differences. A group task then ensues where pupils fill in their fact file sheets on each house using more detailed information included in the proceeding slides (designed to be printed out - but you can go through the info on the board, or alternatively read the information for each house aloud and ask students to make notes as you read - I did it slightly differently with my two groups). Finally, the PowerPoint ends with OCR GCSE Classical Civilisation exam questions so pupils’ learning and understanding can be assessed. Thanks for taking a look :-)

Imperium is a Latin course for the 21st century; unique, highly resourced and written to make fullest use of modern technology. Its texts follow the life of the Emperor Hadrian from his early childhood to his later years, as he became the most powerful man in the Roman world. Book 1 follows the young Hadrian through his childhood in Spain and Rome. His early interests in horses, hunting and the amphitheatre are all explored, as he becomes the ward of Trajan and eventually makes his way to Rome. The historical material is close to accurate throughout, though some characters have been invented to make life challenging, such as the rather nasty little donkey who bullies Hadrian’s first horse. This full text of Book 1 can be used freely by students and teachers, though copying and pasting has been disabled. Users are encouraged to deploy other resources alongside the text, such as the Site Support Pack or other files.
