This course introduces high school students to some of the classic literary texts, or Great Books, of the ancient Roman world. These texts have influenced the development of the West. While studying these texts, students explore the ideas, events, and cast of characters that molded the Roman World.
This course focuses on literature, but also integrates some Ancient History, helping students to see and enjoy the integration of both history and literature. In this upper-school course, students will examine and discuss events, trends, ideas, achievements, and failures found in these historical periods, while also comparing and contrasting such study with their own contemporary period.
Required Materials: Books and supplies are not included in the purchase of the course. These resources are listed to help inform your decision-making as you make course selections and build your course schedule. Please reach out to the instructor if you have any questions about materials.
