will I Study? Induction Week - an introduction to life in Ancient

of Sextus Roscius (accused of murdering his father), his

Casesar, his aims and achievements, his relationship with his

teacher-led discussion, activity based student participation and
small and large group sharing of ideas and concepts. Students will
be encouraged to ask questions and explore their own interests
within the subject. How will I be Assessed? Essay writing forms an
essential part of the course and students should have a high degree
of language and literature skills. Critical analysis, evaluation
and textual analysis will be developed throughout the year.
Homework will be set after each lesson and weekly quizzes will help
embed learning. What our students say? "Classical Civilisation is
an interesting subject and you meet some wonderful like-minded
people" - "I've learnt so much in Classics and I know I have gained
an interest for life" - "Having had a chance to visit Rome it has
really made me appreciate the subject - I love Classics!"
