@skeletonpup any advice on how to figure out the Punic War page. can’t find any kind of key. e.g., to what do the numbers/symbols on the Sicily graphic correspond?

[Peter O'Sullivan @PeterGOSullivan]

@TrimontiumTrust @trimontium wondering if there is a companion site to elaborate on the infographics. for example can’t easily figure out to what numbers 1-52 correspond on pages 112/113 on the three punic wars. #PhillipMatyszak

@DCComm @washingtonpost Just visited Dickinson with my son (rising HS Senior). We agree! The ongoing connections between course of study and career impressed.

Favorite line from a book I just finished: “she told her tales somewhat after the manner of Aeneas not forgetting the quorum pars magna fui. “

Dido's Lament from Henry Purcell's 'Dido and Aeneas'. First performed on this day in 1689, it is one of the first ever operas written in English but the words were written by Nahum Tate, an Irishman

@duxfeminafacti9 @rogueclassicist Ask your students. A couple of anonymous polls/surveys over the first few weeks of class. You should get helpful information.

@_ToddBeane It can take a lot longer to design a simple and pointedly effective session than a complicated one. Sometime a session may seem deceptively simple but hours of time and thought have gone into it.

@MagistraKiernan And then today’s response from the college board:
“I wanted to confirm for you, officially, that College Board is not going to reduce the scope of exam content for any course in 2021. We know that this decision is very strongly opposed in the AP Latin community...”

[Peter O'Sullivan @PeterGOSullivan]

Great! I look forward to listening to your lecture and sharing with my eager students.

[DCCommentaries @DCComm]

I had the pleasure of recording a lecture for AP Latin yesterday on what we can get out of reading Caesar today. I truly enjoy reading Caesar, which I realize is a minority opinion. Great to be able to speak to the 5,000+ Latin students in the AP program!

Not every day the word ‘gorgeous’ has a negative sense: “she was gorgeous in a dark brown silk dress of awful stiffness” #MrsProudie #Barset

It’s not every day you read the word ‘sesquipedalian.’

@TeachMrReed Students must also engage in meaningful self assessment and reflection. This time is an opportunity for students to direct their own learning.
