Salvete omnes!
This
morning, some attended a church service, other took part in a Bible study,
while others slept in and got some much needed shut-eye. Then, we all went to
brunch. After brunch, all students were able to spend 25 minutes browsing the
internet. Then, we attended classes for the day…Yes, on a Sunday! In Si se non Noverit, Mr. Cavedo read over
Propertius’ poem I.3 in order to practice the elegiac couplet meter with his
classes. Then, in Latina Pro Vicis,
each student told a short narrative to the class about his or her journey to
the grocery store earlier in the week. Then, all the students broke into groups
to write a short story of their own in Latin. Lastly, in Artes Romanae, we took a short quiz on Flavian art and learned
about art under the emperor Trajan. After the afternoon classes, we had “Cena
Latina,” meaning only Latin could be spoken during dinner. After dinner, we
were treated to a showing of the movie Spartacus.
Magister Perry prepared a presentation about the cultural significance of the
movie prior to the showing. The movie was a perfect way to end the week! Then,
of course, was the mysterious “Volvifolium” event. We now turn to the last week
of Academy! So much to learn, yet so little time!
Valete,
amici!
