June 1st was the AP deadline for next year? Man, are we in trouble. I've been teaching AP Lit, so we haven't had an AP Vergil at our HS in a few years (pre-syllabus requirements). My colleague's doing AP Vergil next year, in the spring (yay 4x4 block), but we haven't sat down and written a syllabus yet. And now she's home in Spain till August. I guess we'll have to hope for the best.
How are you finding the writing of your syllabus? Are you on a year-long schedule, or a block? When I did the Catullus-Ovid syllabus for my spring semester class a few years ago, it was very difficult to fit all the required lines into my class time along with all the other work involved.
I always feel like a new teacher, because there's always something new to try, especially in the AP and other upper level classes. I've just finished my sixth year of teaching, and I still consider myself "new" to the profession.
