T.I.L Projects (Today I learned)!
Students in Dr. Thompson Latin 2 class work on these projects, an idea shared by Mr. Bellemer. Dr. Thompson shares, "I have found that students love the idea of doing a ‘deep dive’ on a topic that interests them on a personal level. In this way, we can relate, compare, and contrast the ancient world with modern interests and practices. Students delved into a variety of topics, such as Roman: music style, hairstyles, makeup, Roman and Greek musical instruments, mosaic materials and colors, sports, activities in the baths, the Lupercalia, Saturnalia, Bacchanalia and other more obscure religious festivals, and naming system, to name a few."
