Students recited Catullus poems from memory, told animal stories, and learned about Hadrianic art in class today! After lunch, students had study hall, worked on the play and the memory dvd, and then went to the gym. Finally, Dr. McCaffrey gave a lecture on ancient inscriptions and then students applied that information to creating their own inscriptions. Students scratched their messages using nails and then painted the letters red with a toothpick. James thought all the disks looked very authentic especially the ones with Pompeian script. As the inscriptions had to be in either Latin or Greek, some students found it difficult to find a phrase that captured them. In the end, everyone found something and had a great time.
Valete!
