Title: Essay: High School Latin and the Horrors of Classical Studies
Body:
From https://eidolon.pub
In a thought-provoking essay, high school Latin teacher Erik Robinson writes, “The most promising of my former Latin students recently told me that she regretted that we did not spend more time discussing the social, cultural, and historical legacy of the ancient world. As with all good criticism, this cut deep because I acknowledged the justice of the reproach. She noted that, for all of the time that we spent reading Latin texts, the class had never really spent much time discussing in depth such issues as the brutality of war, the treatment of women, and the experience of slaves.
“…A much larger and far more diverse group of students take Latin in high school than study Classics in college. If we leave them with the impression that Classics consists of little more than reams of grammatical constructions learned through a series of comics which trivialize rape and slavery, ultimately culminating in the ability to read a callous account of self-aggrandizing genocide, then we have failed.”

Title: Paideia Institute’s Iter Salemense
Body:
From http://www.paideiainstitute.org/iter_salemense
High school students are invited to experience Latin as a living language while exploring the fascinating and spooky city of Salem, Massachusetts at the Paideia Institute’s Iter Salemense - just in time for Halloween! Students will experience the Latin hidden in Salem, including its famous graveyard, by participating in an ambulatio (Latin language walk), playing interactive Latin games, and through listening to ancient Roman ghost stories! Featured texts will include Pliny the Younger’s haunted house letter, the Malleus Maleficarum, a witch-hunting manual from 1486, and the Aberdeen Bestiary, a medieval description of fantastic beasts (and where to find them)! Instructors trained in active Latin will provide tours, lead games and more.
Middle and high school students at all levels of Latin are welcome. Latin teachers are encouraged to attend with their students to participate and learn about active Latin and spoken language pedagogy.
Following the conclusion of the Iter, participants are welcome to join the Paideia staff for lunch, Latin conversation and discussion of pedagogy.
This event will take place on October 14, 2017, in Salem, Massachusetts.
