The goal of this project is to build the inherent understanding of and ability with Latin through fun, short, and easy readings about various fictional characters who might have lived in ancient Rome. Students will meet Rufus, who loves to play in the mud and watch gladiators fight; Drusilla, who explores everyone's favorite food as she tries to find her favorite; and Livia, a strong and brave mother who isn't confined by her gender. Students will have the opportunity to read these books, one a quarter (two each semester), alongside the class. Teacher led follow-up activities reuse and recycle not just the words used, but the structures and culture introduced. Students will read about, make connections with, and compare and contrast the lives of these characters with their own lives today. Each novella chosen has limited vocabulary, but compelling plots, with a wide range of grammatical structures used so that students will pick up the language naturally and learn to speak and write in response to the stories, in Latin. Won't you help me make learning Latin a lot more engaging, collaborative, and creative for these students!
