@toutovlepo I’ve found dictatio to be immensely helpful for me and the students. Once we start reading poetry and students learn to scan, they are so much better now at feeling out what must be long.
@MagisterConway@toutovlepo@jacquesderridad I feel like present is the closest tense to being gnomic, so that’s why I’d learn FLV. Really isn’t FLV the closest approximation to a future CTF anyway? The future can’t be CTF since the future is unknown, but FLV covers the things that would be CTF if they could be known.
For years, I’ve played around with timed writes but this year I’ve gotten serious about it so that my students have more consistent practice with it. It’s amazing how quickly students improve in output if you give them regular opportunities.
Today #Latin2 students were given these notecards (1 per person) and had to figure out how to separate themselves in five groups but I didn’t tell them what defined each group. They had to figure that out too. #wpshs@WPSHighSchool
@MagisterConway Trial by fire! Today I got to explain to students what a lintel and a threshold are immediately after discussing bodily fluid metaphors. You couldn’t plan such randomness but Catullus has it ready for you. Up next: stereotyping people based on the color of their eyebrows.
Nymphs are usually being pursued by lascivious gods or satyrs, so instead here is one stepping into some water, which seems to be flowing over her toes. The statue is by Giovanni Battista Lombardi (1864) and can be found in Brescia.
