This limited enrollment workshop will develop strategies for integrating scholarship about the Augustan age, and on the texts from the Augustan period featured on the Advanced Placement Vergil and Latin Literature syllabi, into the secondary school curriculum and into college-level courses that feature these authors and this period. The scholarly studies on these episodes that participants will be asked to read represent different theoretical approaches to these texts. Participants will be divided into groups composed of both college-level and secondary school faculty, each of which will analyze one of these scholarly studies and consider how insights that this study offers might be fruitfully employed in their teaching. We welcome the participation of both secondary and college faculty, and classics graduate students, who would like to learn more about the AP Vergil and Latin Literature syllabi as well as experienced Latin AP teachers and Augustan-era specialists. Since this is a limited enrollment workshop, and participants will need to read the scholarly studies in advance, those wishing to participate are requested to pre-register by September 25, 2006 with Judith P.

Participants will be divided into four groups, composed of both college-level and secondary school faculty members. Each group will consider a different challenge in the elementary Latin classroom.

We welcome the input and insights of teachers at all levels interested in introductory Latin instruction.
