2017 Foundations Talk | 0:56:53 | All Grade Levels, Latin, Greek & Language
Summary
It has been suggested that education should be a garden of delight. How is delight cultivated within a subject that is sometimes viewed as dry, dull, and difficult? Instead of reading for the sake of simply reading, we should use reading pieces of Latin literature as a gateway into grand adventures, faraway places, and the beauty of tales artfully told. We should not merely read, but interact with such stories as we often do with a humanities course. This workshop will demonstrate means by which to cultivate in students a love for Latin literature as we use reading passages as a gateway into lessons on geography, art, poetry, and science. Such classes are about more than Latin; they are about where the Latin leads us.
