| Title | Back to School Activity Ideas for Latin |
| Body | Here are a few back-to-school activity ideas suggested by LatinTeach users: Play dispergite (scattergories). Divide students in groups. Announce a category. Students must come up with as many Latin words that they feel fit the category. No points are awarded for any word that more than one team thinks of. Award points to words that are not duplicated. Some categories: first declension masculine nouns, pronominal adjectives, gods and goddesses, prepositions that take the accusative case, emperors, hills of Rome...etc. Silent conversation: chart paper around the room with photocopied picture from memorable chapters of last year's text. Give each student a different colored marker. No talking. Each student must write something in Latin on several different posters (decide on the number based on the amount of time you are spending.) Students should write fairly big. Discuss the comments. Map activity: trace the wanderings of Aeneas and Odysseus, or label the geographical features of Italy, etc. Higley, L. Re: [Latinteach] Back to School...especially for the advanced levels. The Teaching of the Latin Language listserv (latinteach@nxport.com, 2 Sept 2007). --- For my Latin 2/3 split class, I had a bingo sheet style survey for the first day. They had to wander around the room and ask the questions on the sheet and collect signatures. The questions were things like: habesne oculos virides? habesne canem? habesne felem? potesne canere instrumentum musicum? fecistine iter ad Europam? tibi placet scribere? legistine illum librum _Harrius Potter et Sancta Mortua_? etc. Then when I went over it I wrote on the overhead: QUIS HABET oculos virides? QUIS POTEST canere instrumentum musicum? And I followed this by writing things like ego habeo oculos virides. ego serpentem habeo. Lindzey, G.
