In this hands-on workshop, participants will experience a strategic sequence of learning tasks that build Latin literacy, culminating in reading and analyzing the poetry of Sulpicia. Among the tasks are Personalized Q & A (PQA), PictureTalk, class polls, Brain ‘Unbreaks,’ Write & Discuss, and a variety of reading tasks and assessments.

Participants will learn to combine the tasks into a series of lessons on any textbook chapter, novella, or other literary text, or as standalone activities for any phase in students’ path to Latin proficiency. Several of the demonstrations will also give participants the chance to hear simple Latin spoken, boosting their own comfort using the language with their students.
