Option A

A1: Tara Atkinson
GCSE OCR Ancient History – Roman
The session will be an opportunity to discuss and explore strategies for teaching Roman history and relevant concepts effectively and in an engaging way to a mixed-ability GCSE group. This session will particularly focus on the Foundations of Rome longer period study and the Cleopatra depth study, but content will be relevant to the other depth studies as well.

A2: Sam Baddeley
GCSE OCR Latin Verse – Virgil
This session will be an overview and discussion of the GCSE Latin Verse prescription (excerpts from Books IV and VI). It would be helpful if participants could bring a copy of the text with them.

A3: Lauren Douglas
GCSE Eduqas Literature – Theme A
This session will offer a brief overview of the Eduqas Latin Literature Theme A – A Day at the Races. We will discuss some of the key passages, consider the requirements of the essay question and evaluate some example responses. Please bring copies of the text if possible, along with any resources and ideas you are happy to share. 

A4: Alison Henshaw
Beginners CLC
The session will consider teaching approaches and resources for Cambridge Latin Course Book I.  It is suitable for both new users and experienced practitioners. You may find it helpful to bring a copy of the book to the session.

A5: Stuart Macaulay
Greek Language to GCSE in 2 Years
This session will involve the strategies and resources for teaching Ancient Greek over a limited time of two years. It will involve sharing strategies and resources that have worked to get students A*-C grades in the OCR GCSE (formerly ‘full’) course, how (and what) to prioritise in the teaching of the language and how to cover a set text in one term. There will also be time to action plan to overcome difficulties in different schools, to win over SLT, parents and students themselves.

A6: John Hazel
‘Read it Right’
This will be an opportunity for teachers who wish to extend their knowledge and practice of the oral side of teaching Latin to do so. There will be a chance to ask questions as well as to learn something of the phonetics of Classical Latin, and even to spend a little time on reading verse.

In this session we will consider ideas and approaches to teaching the new GCSE Ancient History specification, with special reference to the depth study ‘From Tyranny to Democracy 546-483 BC’.

B2: tbc
A Level OCR Latin Prose – Pro Milone 

B3: Alan Chadwick
Using digital resources in the Latin classroom
An overview of new approaches to teaching and learning, including responsive quizzes, online flashcards, interactive videos, PLNs and other digital resources; using new technology to improve the way our pupils learn, rather than creating extra work for the teacher.

B4: Hilary Walters
GCSE OCR Greek Prose Literature – Herodotus
In this session we will look at the GCSE Greek Herodotus set text passages particularly considering style and extended response questions. Please bring a copy of the text with you. 

B5: Julie Wilkinson
Approaches to Literature (GCSE & A Level)

This session will look at the verse set texts for A Level Latin, focusing on Ovid, Propertius and Tibullus. Come prepared to share ideas (and resources if possible). Please bring texts if you can.

C3: Julie Wilkinson
Bridging the Gap: GCSE to A Level Prose Composition
We will look at strategies for preparing students for the English into Latin component of the A Level specification, building on their pre-existing knowledge from GCSE, and developing their confidence with grammatical analysis and recognition.

C4: Camille Brillaux
A Level OCR Classical Civilisation – Greek Art
This session is an opportunity to consider effective teaching strategies, including differentiation for mixed ability groups, for the A Level Classical Civilisation Greek Art module. Please bring ideas and resources to share.
