TitleNew Yahoo Group: Classics in Middle and Elementary - Plus a T-Shirt Contest
Body
The ETC (Excellence Through Classics) committee of the ACL has created a new Yahoo group to focus discussion and ideas on teaching middle school and elementary school students. The ETC: Classics in Middle and Elementary group is dedicated to exploring methodologies, activities, and theories that can be applied to Classics-related courses at the middle school and elementary levels.

Topics will include articulation of Latin and Greek through the grades, activities for mythology, culture, and language acquisition, language and general teaching methodologies, Classics promotion, and general teaching support for and from peers. The goal of this group is open sharing of ideas and thoughts related to teaching the Classics in the lower grades.

If you are interested in joining ETC: Classics in Middle and Elementary, please use the following address:
