The Great Latin Reading Challenge

Quid est?

Magister Craft started a reading challenge to encourage students and teachers to read more Latin, especially as we find ourselves restricted to our homes.

I've taken up the challenge within the Sims 4 world, which gives some limitations, e.g. placet simulationi sedere cum legat. Whether it's through the Sims or just yourself, join the fun!

THE GOALS

  1. Meta Magna: Complete one full line (vertical, horizontal or diagonal) of reading activities

  2. Meta Summa: Complete all reading activities

THE RULES

  1. Pick any Latin Text you like, but no two can be the same.

  2. You must read a minimum of five minutes per block.

  3. You must record yourself while reading out loud.

  4. Cite the name of text and author’s name.

  5. Share your videos on social media. Tag it #LatinReadAThon.
