Thankful to have time today to work on a passion project: a war game for Latin II’s Military Unit! Students will be divided into Pompey’s Republican Army and Caesar’s Rebels.

In order to unlock bonuses in game, students have to research historical Roman military advancements!

@mj5wilson Good ol’ Gimkit? For something low tech, Reverse Charades?

[Ronnie Bull @magistertaurus]

@mj5wilson @saklansek Oh wow! This is a great idea

Latin I has been learning about Roman houses, and tomorrow they’ll be making their own. We’ll be saving them for next week and adding in sentences once they learn some action words. Pater laborat in tablino!

Next one to make: BYO Roman military camp for Latin II

@quizizz Hi, are we unable to upload our own backgrounds in Lessons now? I can add an image to the slide but I can’t see “Upload” in the Theme tab, just preset themes. Thanks!

[Ronnie Bull @magistertaurus]

Tomorrow, we reach the final activity in Latin I.

Can you find all 8 LATINMON in the school?

[Ronnie Bull @magistertaurus]

Activity: Think Sim City but Rome.

Build your own town (copying and pasting elements into a Google slides) and ~of course~ we’ll be writing Latin sentences describing your city (and what happens inside these buildings)

@gimkit Awesome, thank you so much! Excited to try it out!

Latin III will have a little more grammar this year. Inspired by @nintendoamerica Game Builder Garage’s Nodons, I’m making characters for each grammatical noun case. Each one has a personality. Can’t wait to draw Verb and Adjective #Procreate

Greek choruses had the right idea. Show up, offer commentary on the drama, leave.

@quizlet Where is the old music during games? You guys updated and now there doesn't seem to be the awesome music that used to play during rounds? My students are disappointed :(
