During my visit with Mrs. Cunningham's AP Latin class, consisting of four elite Vergil-translating 12th grade scholars and their sage-like instructor, there was an extensive pre-exam review of literary terms, verb tenses, and translations.
It was a joy to watch the four young men in the class--all of whom are some of Gunston's best athletes--compete with each other to identify the meanings of terms like metonymy, pleonasm, and polysyndeton. Of course in AP Latin, the laws of Latin and the laws of Mrs. Cunningham are learned hand-in-hand.
