Applications are due by March 1st.

I am teaching Latin 1 this year and chose to teach 3rd declension first. My Latin 1's are still insisting that it is the easiest of the declensions. (They haven't learned about i-stems yet.) They then learned 2nd and finally 1st. They tell all the other kids that 1st is the hardest. Of course, the rest of the Latin students think they are crazy. I'm so interested in how we can impact their perceptions by the order in which we teach things.parvaluongohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06542224156619746850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7045927539398152863.post-59937231631533489002018-10-31T18:43:44.439-07:002018-10-31T18:43:44.439-07:00LOVED reading about your experience!LOVED reading about your experience!parvaluongohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06542224156619746850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7045927539398152863.post-35373876387425285102018-09-30T16:01:27.786-07:002018-09-30T16:01:27.786-07:00I've also been working on communication in a v...I've also been working on communication in a variety of ways, and podcasts are a part of that. I've also been working to seek out feedback about my work - both positive and negative from colleagues. Finally, I've been working to rework my grading rubrics to make them more communicative. I'd love to hear more about how you facilitate the collaborative departmental culture. I certainly miss the collaborative time that we had when we had a separate Latin Department. parvaluongohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06542224156619746850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7045927539398152863.post-10458401054238585682018-09-30T15:57:48.912-07:002018-09-30T15:57:48.912-07:00Ashley, I love this, and I'm dying to hear how...Ashley, I love this, and I'm dying to hear how it goes! My new routine that I love is having kids give a tessera (password) before coming into the room. I hesitated to start it because I was worried that I wouldn't always have time to greet the kids, which has been true. However, the kids love to step in as tesserarius / tesseraria for the day, so that is working well. I let my first Thursday class pick the tessera for the next week, and sometimes they are ridiculous (amo panem, cuniculus felix), but it does seem to be helping them learn new words / phrases. parvaluongohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06542224156619746850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7045927539398152863.post-86402393614117011922018-08-09T04:42:05.180-07:002018-08-09T04:42:05.180-07:00Well said!

I want to know how you encourage your kids to keep the discussion in Latin while the movie is playing. I've struggled for the first time this year with kids talking over the movie. Thanks again!

If so, I'd love to hear more about that process. I've had students building writing portfolios this year - nothing electronic yet. This is really cool! (I'd also love to know of that student wrote that indirect statement himself.

This is even more evidence of how student-centered your class is. Bene factum!parvaluongohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06542224156619746850noreply@blogger.com
