AP Latin Students are required to complete 5 Quizlet.com activites per week.
The deadline for completing your five activities per week is 11:59 PM on Friday night.
Because you are advanced, brilliant, and responsible students, you have some freedom in the activities you choose to complete for your homework grade.
Your success in AP Latin, both in the class and on the AP exam, greatly depends on your work outside the class. Please be honest with yourself and study your vocabulary to the best of your ability. These Quizlet activities are designed to help you with your vocabulary acquisition.
To be blunt, success on our tests and on the AP exam will depend on your knowledge of vocabulary. You have the grammar from the last three years and you’ll have essay writing skills from your entire existence as a student. But vocabulary is the main indicator of success in this class. If you don’t know what a word means, there’s no way around it.
You may choose the sets of vocabulary you think are the most helpful.
Most recommended sets: Caesar Most Common Vocabulary
Vergil Most Common Vocabulary
1000 Most Common Words
Vocab from passages that will be on your tests
You may choose the activities you think are the most helpful.
Flashcards / Cards: These are simple study flashcards. Students must complete the entire set in order to receive credit.
Scatter / Match: You must complete Scatter / Match at least twice in order to receive credit for one activity, because Scatter / Match takes about 30 seconds and is very easy. You simply match the Latin word with its English definition.
Test: Gives a test on the material so you can use it as a self-diagnostic. This grade will not be recorded as a test grade in my gradebook, but you can use it to improve your mastery of the material. When you do the “Test” activity, be sure to unclick “written” so that you limit the question types to matching, multiple choice, and true/false. You must score at least 90% correct in order to receive credit for this activity.
Learn: In the “Learn” activity, you type in the English definition for each Latin term. Be sure to have the “See English first” box unchecked. If you do not type the definition exactly, but provide a partially correct answer or a synonym, you can click the “Override: I was right” link and it will count your answer as correct. This activity may be very difficult.
Gravity: In the “Gravity” activity, you type in the English definition before the Latin word scrolls off of the screen. It is a little difficult to keep up at the higher levels, but it is fun. Be sure to click “Show… Latin” at the bottom of the screen. This may be too difficult for the AP level of vocab, but you can always give a shot and see how you do!
