Some things are so important, however, that we need to make a bit of room for them. Roman history is one of these. Teaching a language is most successful when it encompasses, as much as possible, the culture of the people who created it. Language does not exist in a vacuum. Any language is impacted by where its people lived, what happened to them, and the ideas which they had to express for their survival and growth or which they considered important. The webinar includes several readings from Roman history that are used to illustrate Latin grammar.Wed., June 18 - 2:00 p.m. EST (1 p.m. CST): “Teaching Catullus: Pedagogical and Scholarly Perspectives”, Ronnie Ancona, Hunter College, City University of New YorkThe Catullus webinar will address major features of the teaching of Catullus at both the secondary school and college levels, including Advanced Placement. Topics to be covered include: how to teach Catullus across all curricular levels from first year Latin through advanced college level Latin and recent scholarly perspectives on Catullus and how to incorporate them into the classroom. Close reading of a few selected poems of Catullus will be used to demonstrate issues of Catullan vocabulary, style, and theme.Wed., June 25 - 3:00 p.m. EST (2 p.m. CST): “Roman Art and Archaeology for Latin Teachers,” Jayni Reinhard, Arizona State UniversityThe archaeological record provides much of the Latin that becomes part of the texts we read in Latin class. We will take a look at the art and archaeology pertaining to the major sources of Latin texts, including: theatres, architectural inscriptions, wall paintings, and graffiti. High school and college students need to know that the Latin language did not exist in a vacuum; this survey of everyday Roman material remain will provide Latin teachers with a good introduction to archaeology in support of teaching Latin.Thurs., July 3 - 2:00 p.m. EST (1 p.m. CST): “Teaching Horace: Pedagogical and Scholarly Perspectives,” Ronnie Ancona, Hunter College, City University of New YorkThe Horace webinar will address major features of the teaching of Horace at both the secondary school and college levels, including Advanced Placement. Topics to be covered include: how to teach Horace at different curricular levels and recent scholarly perspectives on Horace and how to incorporate them into the classroom. Close reading of selected poems of Horace will be used to demonstrate typically Horatian features. Horace: a Legamus Transitional Reader, A Horace Workbook, and Horace: Selected Odes and Satire 1.9 will be discussed as resources for the classroom.Thurs., July 10 - 3:00 p.m. EST (2 p.m. CST): “How to Teach Lucretius,” Bonnie Catto, Assumption CollegeThere are few ancient authors as compelling as Lucretius: scientist, poet, philosopher, and passionate observer of nature. While Caesar, Cicero and Vergil have long vied for first place in the classical curriculum, Lucretius' treatment of universal human matters rightfully earns him a place in their company. Informed by the latest in Lucretian scholarship, Catto focuses on excerpts from De Rerum Natura. and discusses college-level linguistic and intellectual aids for translating and comprehending this difficult but magnificent Roman poet.Tues., July 15 - 3:00 p.m. EST (2 p.m. CST): “Learning Latin Grammar via Speaking Aloud in Class,” Anna Andresian, Sage Ridge SchoolOral reinforcement of grammatical material is a valuable teaching tool and Andresian’s presentation will focus on specific techniques for incorporating oral exercises into the Latin classroom. In particular, Andresian will discuss oral methods to accomplish the following: 1) identify and manipulate new grammatical material in a Latin passage; 2) discuss pictures that target a particular grammatical concept; 3) practice geography and the structure of prepositional phrases; 4) solidify the student’s understanding of relative pronoun agreement; 5) teach students the forms and usage of hic and ille by using demonstratives to discuss objects and people in the classroom.Thurs., July 17 - 3:00 p.m. EST (2 p.m. CST): “Transitioning into Vergil,” LeaAnn Osburn, Emerita Latin TeacherOsburn discusses selections from the Aeneid with a focus on helping students move from elementary or intermediate Latin into reading the authentic Latin of Vergil. Osburn discusses pre-reading materials, grammatical exercises, vocabulary, notes designed for and reading comprehension.Thurs., July 24 - 3:00 p.m. EST (2 p.m. CST): “Teaching Latin Pronouns through Mythology,” Rose Williams, Emerita Latin TeacherA brief overview of Greco-Roman mythology, which can be used as an outline for the overall study, will be supplied. Various materials to be woven into one's individual lesson plans will be offered. Teachers may submit questions and suggestions, and will be asked to submit ideas for using these materials in their respective teaching situations after the seminar.Mon., August 4 - 2:00 p.m. EST (1:00 p.m. CST): “Classical Mythology & More and the Medusa Mythology Exam,” Marianthe Colakis, Townsend Harris High SchoolThis webinar aims to generate discussion among teachers on preparing students for national examinations in mythology and the ways in which Classical Mythology & More can help. We will discuss the features of the book that make it useful for students of mythology. It paraphrases the original sources as much as possible, keeping editorial comment and embellishment to a minimum. It offers short answer exercises for self-testing recall of names and events, and more thought-provoking questions to encourage deeper reflection. We will also discuss the purpose of studying myths in secondary school and consider the ways they can still tell us about ourselves.Thurs., August 14 - 2:00 p.m. EST (1:00 p.m. CST): “Learning to Read Ovid,” Caroline Perkins, Marshall CollegeThe Ovid webinar will cover the teaching of Ovid at both the secondary school and college levels, including Advanced Placement. One issue of particular emphasis will be how to enable the student to make a successful transition from the learning of grammar to the reading of Latin literature. For this topic we will be using the “pre-reading” approach, defined by Jennifer Rea in CPL online, which “presents the key concepts within a text and provides a context and background information for the literature that students are about to read.” We also will focus on how to teach students of varying levels of preparation in the same classroom. Select passages from the Metamorphoses will be used to exemplify these and other pedagogical issues. The webinar will begin with a brief introduction on Ovid and his works and will include recent bibliography with suggestions on how to incorporate it into the classroom.Cost:$99.00 per webinar.Take any three for $249.00.Summer subscription (all 10 webinars) for $699.00.More webinars will be offered in Fall 2008 by LeaAnn Osburn, Helena Dettmer, Robert Sonkowsky, and more!CONTACT INFORMATIONAndrew Reinhardareinhard@bolchazy.com847-526-4344http://bolchazy.com/webinars.htmBolchazy-Carducci Publishers1000 Brown Street, Unit 101Wauconda, IL 60084 Tufts UniversityUpdated for: 2008Subjects offered: Classical Civilization, Latin Catullus and His Reception (LAT 181b)Athens: Marathon to Socrates (CLS 144a)Comedy: Aristophanes and Athens (CLS 91b)Western Political Thought 1 (CLS 45a)First session (mid-May through June): Western Political Thought, Athens: Marathon to SocratesSecond session (July through early August): Comedy: Aristophanes and Athens, Catullus and His ReceptionAll of these are open to graduate students and undergrads.CONTACT INFORMATIONhttp://ase.tufts.edu/summer Russian Orthodox Monastery of St. Mary of Egypt (Mercy House)Updated for: 2008Subjects offered: Greek Introduction to Biblical GreekJune 10, 2008 to August 28, 2008Summer-long introduction to the language of the New Testament at an Orthodox Christian monastery.Free Interest Session June 3, 2008CONTACT INFORMATIONTikhon Pino (93pino@gmail.com)(201) 893-0284www.mercyhousenyc.org320 E 3rd St.New York, NY 10029 Villanova UniversityUpdated for: 2008Subjects offered: Latin LAT 1111 (010): Introduction to Latin ILAT 1112 (020): Introduction to Latin IIVillanova's "Intensive Summer Latin Program" (now in itssixth year) provides students with an opportunity to complete the firstyear of college-level Latin in eight weeks.

Class time will be dedicated to review of more complex Latin constructions, prose composition, and translation. This course varies in content from year to year and may be taken more than once. This summer's course focuses on two great Roman writers, Caesar and Cicero. Readings will center around the figure of Cicero's brother, Quintus, depicted in Caesar's 'Gallic Wars' as a heroic lieutenant and as a notorious governor and contentious husband in Cicero's letters.Instructor – Alison OrlebekeColloquium (The final 2 weeks of block A) .50 units – Latin Teaching Methodology*Instructor – Richard BeatonBlock B (June 30-July 18) - Vergil In this intensive Latin reading course, we read extended selections from Vergil’s three canonical works, the Eclogues, the Georgics, and the Aeneid.

In 31 BC, Octavian, the sole heir to Julius Caesar, defeated Mark Anthony and Cleopatra in the battle of Actium. This was the final battle in a civil struggle that left him as the sole ruler of an immense European and Mediterranean Empire whose government had been based on a total rejection of one-man rule. This course is an investigation into how the Roman Republic (509-31 BC), marked by violence and periods of dictatorship in its last 100 years, is reconciled in the early years of Augustus’ Principate. Selections from Republican and Augustan literature from 50 BC to 14 AD to be read in English.Instructor – FitzGibbonColloquium (Throughout block C) – Catullus .5 units – Selections from the 1st C BC poet to be read in Latin with the intent of keeping up on and improving Latin reading skills.Instructor - FitzGibbonBlocks A and B - Latin for Beginners* - 2 unitsInstructor – Beaton (block A), FitzGibbon (block B)CONTACT INFORMATIONhttp://www.coloradocollege.edu/summerprograms/http://www.coloradocollege.edu/dept/CL/summersession/default.htmPatricia FitzGibbon (pfitzgibbon@coloradocollege.edu)719-389-6009Kendra Henry (khenry@coloradocollege.edu)719-389-6935Colorado College14 E.
