A Cicero Workbook

A Cicero Workbook
Jane W. Crawford & Judith A. Hayes



This workbook is designed to facilitate students’ reading and comprehension of Latin passages from Cicero’s Pro Archia and De Amicitia. High school and college students alike will find it a helpful resource.

A Cicero Workbook has been carefully constructed by experienced classroom teachers to assist students as they navigate Cicero’s complex prose. Copious preparatory questions help students work through the grammar and syntax of each passage.

The format of the exercises in the workbook will help students become comfortable with the types of questions frequently found on the AP* Latin Literature Examinations.

Features:
• The complete Latin text of all the selections on the Cicero Advanced Placement syllabus
• Preparatory questions following each Latin passage that help the student unravel Ciceronian grammar and syntax
• Multiple choice questions on comprehension, grammar, syntax, figures of speech, etc.
• Short analysis questions that require interpretation of Latin passages and probe students’ understanding of Cicero’s logic and persuasive skills
• Practice essay questions
• AP* type questions on translation
• A comprehensive Latin to English vocabulary designed for these Cicero texts compiled by Steven Cerutti, Sheila Dickison, and Patsy Rodden Ricks
