From http://www.classicsforall.org.uk/news/
Following the recent merger of the Joint Association of Classical Teachers (JACT) with the Classical Association (CA), the editors of JACT’s original Journal of Classics Teaching (Alan Beale and Dr. Peter Jones) will now be editing under the CfA banner a wide range of concise reviews of books about the ancient world, designed to appeal both to teachers and the interested classical public alike. The reviews are to be found here, and the site will be updated as new reviews come in: http://classicsforallreviews.wordpress.com.

Title: Read and Draw with Latin
Body:
From http://todallycomprehensiblelatin.blogspot.com/2015/02/read-and-draw.html
Keith Toda, high school Latin teacher, posts a post-reading activity called “Read and Draw.” He says “I usually have students do a ‘Read and Draw’ after we have gone over a story for at least two days in various ways. What I love most about doing this activity is how low-key but effective it is.”

Title: False Friends Between Spanish and English
Body:
From http://spanish.about.com/cs/vocabulary/a/obviouswrong.htm
Here is a long list of “false friends,” or words that are very similar in both English and Spanish but mean different things. You could take this list and break it up and have students try to match the Spanish word to the correct English meaning and then discuss the differences. For example, students might be interested to know that “constiparse” means to catch a cold, not to be constipated!

State-level English language learner policies
by Micah Ann Wixom
March 2015
In December 2014, the Education Commission of the States convened a group of experts to reflect on available research, practice and state policy around the topic of English language learners' needs and to make recommendations in areas where potential impact at the state level is greatest. The policy recommendations they suggested during the meeting are summarized in this report, which is accompanied by a database with an overview of multiple state policies affecting English language learners across and within states.
