American Classical League Institute 2024

Several years ago I presented on the year-long story creation process with first-year Latin students. The educational landscape has changed considerably in that time and as such I have adapted the process and have continued to write a story every year. In this session I will explain how co-creating a class story has changed, along with reflections on how I manage to keep content comprehensible and compelling to students. I will also briefly discuss assessments, the consistency of basic high-frequency vocabulary through the years, and general methods I employ to handle the task. This session is geared towards middle and high school first-year courses although I have done this at higher levels of the language. Let your students' imaginations develop their Latin acquisition!
