You will have received your Latin exam score this morning. Well done to everyone for completing your Latin exam!! You did yourselves proud :) We will not be going through the paper today - we will do this together on Friday.

For today's lesson, please enjoy some Messalina! Please complete the following (you will need to follow the timings carefully to make sure you complete it all!):

1. Re-read the text to remind yourselves of what we have translated so far in English. You can either do this on your own copy (if you have brought your text) or on the Content Library - 05. Prose Literature - 02. The Text - Tacitus Interlinear PWP. We have translated up to 'her husband holds the city' (where the annotations run out). This should take about 5-10 minutes.

2. You will now be working towards completing some written work on the text. You will need to leave yourself about 30 minutes at the end to complete the final written work. Please follow these instructions:

i. Go back into the 03. Analysis Questions folder in the Content Library, and remind yourselves of how to complete analysis style questions (the 4 marker example paragraph and notes will help). This should take 5 minutes.

ii. Look back over the annotations for lines 32-41 (Narcissus, occasiones quaerens... tenet urbem maritus.) You can do this on your own copies or by using the Content Library annotations. This should take 5 minutes.

iii. Read the 8-mark analysis question (hopefully provided by your cover teacher on paper, also in the Analysis Questions section of the Content Library and your own areas). 8-mark questions are the same in style as 4-mark questions, but you will need to write SIX PARAGRAPHS in this style (PEEL, finding something in the Latin which answers the question, quoting and translating it, and explaining why it has the effect you believe it has). This should take 5 minutes.

iv. Using your notes or the annotations on the Content Library, PLAN your 6 paragraphs - highlight and/or bullet point your ideas and think about which points you are going to make. This should take 15-20 minutes.

v. Write your response! You do not need an introduction or conclusion, just launch! In an exam context, you would have about 15 minutes to write this, but as it's your first one EVER, I would leave yourself about 25-30 minutes to do this.

Thank you and good luck!

Best,

Mrs Greenoakes
