Several of you have expressed a forum for sharing and mentoring. This was the easiest that I could imagine. A little bit about me. CCES became an IB school in 1997 and I have been teaching IB Latin ever since, both Standard and Higher Levels. We have read: Ovid, Vergil, Love Poetry, Juvenal, Livy and some Cicero (from the old syllabus). When the new syllabus takes affect for 2010, I am not sure what we will read. I may just let students decide. I am relieved to know that Livy will depart even though I have finally collected out of print books from all over the world. My students usually score quite well on the exams and internal assessment. I have also supervised numerous extended essays with a classical theme. If I can help in any way, please just ask; otherwise, feel free to share among yourselves.
