A Traveling Exhibit: APA Comics Contest 2008
I''m writing to inform you, if you haven't been able to see the display boards that have traveled to APA Chicago, Eta Sigma Phi, and just recently, CAMWS, that the winners and honorable mention entries from the 2008 APA Comics Contest are traveling the country at the request of teachers like you.
The theme was the statue of Ceres that crowns the Chicago Board of Trade building. The cost of the display is nominal, since it entails merely the price… Continue

Report on the AP Latin Literature meeting, CAMWS, April 17, 2008
Thursday, April 17, 2008, 8-10 PM
One of the two evening sessions on April 17 at CAMWS focused on AP Latin, specifically the results of the two 2007 exams, how the exams were created, and how they were graded. The three panelists included Mary Pendergraft, Dawn La Fon, and Wells Hansen. At the start of the session, Pendergraft stated that there would be plenty of time at the end for questions about AP Latin Literature, which turned out to be a solid… Continue

Epode 2
“Happy is he who avoids the rat race, like the ancient race of mortals, cultivates his ancestral lands with cows, who is free from debt, who’s neither a soldier, roused by the cruel trumpet, nor dreading the wrathful sea, nor living at the Forum and the haughty thresholds of more powerful men.
“So, when the shoots of his vines mature, he weds them to tall poplars, or in a remote vale, he watches the wanderings of the bellowing flocks, and removing… Continue

Horace, Epode 1
Epode 1
Friend, you are going in a Liburtine galley among the ship’s tall ramparts, prepared, Maecenas, to undergo all of Caesar’s dangers yourself.
What about us, whose life will be sweet if you survive and loathsome if you don’t?
Should I pursue leisure,… Continue

Fable of the Day (Greek): The Shepherd and The Lion
Ποιμὴν καὶ λέων
Hi, everybody! I'm back after a LONG hiatus - blame it on Bolchazy-Carducci (just kidding), because I was finishing up the ms. of a book for them on Barlow's Aesop (yeah!!!).

It is very simple:
Each lesson has three… Continue
