That will be an entirely new experience for me. And while we will be reading excerpts from Plautus (probably not Terrence; I just don't like his plays as much) we're not reading entire plays from Plautus in Latin or English. With lots of embedding and scaffolding! But ideas for tackling a novella would be incredibly helpful.Rachel Ashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12738930921358536790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7372244552588469181.post-6183134060873844412015-08-04T17:12:06.344-04:002015-08-04T17:12:06.344-04:00Thanks for sharing this window into your planning ...Thanks for sharing this window into your planning process. I will definitely be doing an Auricula unit with my students (3rd year). From what I have heard from mod. language teachers, a novella of 2000 words can be stretched out more than two weeks, depending on what you plan to do with the text (parallel story, dictatio, illustrations, traditional assessments, and of course student actors). This is a rich text, and could be the end in itself, as it will be for my Latin 3, since I don't think they will be quite ready for a real Plautus/Terence play (and neither am I right now!). Let me know if I can help with the planning. I don't start until the end of the month, so I have a bit of time.Magister Piazzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17819378525627137300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7372244552588469181.post-16672819263806028322015-07-29T11:48:48.111-04:002015-07-29T11:48:48.111-04:00Thank you!

I have recently returne...Maximas gratias tibi ago! I have recently returned from Rusticatio Veteranorum and the NTPRS conference. My biggest question has been "now what?" I have been teaching with CI for two years and abandoned the textbook mid-year last year. The untextbooking process you are writing about here is exactly what I need! I love all of your details. I just might be able to do this. I polled my students and their top two categories were food / dining and games. Another top category was the relationships between gods and mortals. So my big picture plan is to use Ovid's story of Baucis and Philemon. I don't start school until August 25th, so I'll be checking in with your blog and your unit writing process. I'm super excited!
