 An idea about learning the Vocabulary (as inspired by one of my students)

 Activity - Latine Cano

 Activity - Ex Libris
Students are designing their own "ex libris" stickers for their books. The document has a collection of designs by some of my students. 

 Activity - Coins of Julius Caesar and Augustus
You can choose a main topic (e.g. coins) and you can create a lap-poster for your class. Students absolutely love this poster and they are very engaged with the topic of the poster.

 Activity - Moretum
You can prepare a genuine Latin recipe with your students during lesson time! The ingredients are very simple, low-budget and the final outcome really delicious. There is a Latin and English version of the recipe with a vocabulary list.  

 Activity - Latin Advent Calendar
Help your students learn or refresh the numbers in Latin during December.

L' Infinito 2.00


It was 200 years ago that the great Italian poet Giacomo Leopardi (1798-1837) wrote “L’ Infinito", one of the most beautiful poems of the world. Now, Mario Camilletti, an Italian teacher and musician, composed and played in his own song with the famous lyrics by Leopardi. An original way to learn and memorize this extraordinary poem. Listen to “L’ Infinito 2.00''.

  

Latine Cano


LATINE CANO is a very different way to meet classical poetry. The composer, Mario Camilletti, teacher in an italian Secondary High school and musician, is truly convinced that the classical poetry was sung, not declaimed.
To convince his students that Latin is the basis of our culture, he began to sing Latin poems in the way of modern pop music. With the music, you can hear and learn Latin classical poetry at the same time.
You can try to sing some of the famous great poems by Horace, Catullus, Virgil, while keeping the latin metric, and meeting the classical in a funny but unforgettable way.
Based on the Professor Camilletti’s experience, Latine Cano will show you how the Latin lirycs are new and adaptable also to modern pop music.

Tracks:
Odi et amo (Catullus, Liber, c. 85)
Carpe diem (Horace, Odi, I, 11)
Fetontes (Ovid, Metamorphoseon, II, vv. 304-318)
Sicelides Musae (Virgil, Boucolica, Ecl. IV)



Who is Mario Camilletti?
MARIO CAMILLETTI, teacher of Latin and Italian Literature in Italy, has completed Classical studies at University “La Sapienza” in Rome and has studied Double bass at Conservatorio “Casella” in L’Aquila. He’s played with some of the best musicians and artists in Italy and he’s written and composed a lot of songs. He has written many books and articles and he has won some literary awards.  For the italian tv he has made some works, like the documentaries “Voci” and “The Augusto’s songs”, released for the 2000 years since the death of the first Roman emperor.

LATINE CANO was presented for the first time in Rome in the Campidoglio in 2014. Mr Camilletti realized this work playing guitar, piano, bass and cello. Collaborators: Javier Girotto (sax), Flavio Mazzocchi(piano), Max Rosati (guitars), Cristiano Micalizzi (drums), Martina Lupi (choir), Fabio Gagliardi (didjeridoo), Fabrizio Poletti (choir), Dario Fugalli (guitar).

  

Distant Lands Telling tales in Latin (Part 2)

Title: Distant Lands Telling tales in Latin (Part 2)
Author: Lorna Robinson
Publisher: Souvenir Press Ltd
ISBN: 9780285643420

Description
Distant Lands is a companion volume to Lorna Robinson s Telling Tales in Latin. Also narrated by the poet Ovid, who tells the tale of his own exile, along with more well-loved tales from his Metamorphoses. 

 Introducing readers to the history of Ovid s life and exile, as well as an introduction to the geography of the Roman Empire, Distant Lands will engage pupils in stories such as Lycaon, the wild man who became a wolf, and Pyramus and Thisbe, the love-struck pair who whisper through a crack in their adjoining wall. These stories are woven into Ovid's account of his last night in Rome, his dramatic journey across the seas, and the strangeness of the new world that he discovers. 

 Soham De s illustrations bring Ovid's stories alive and make learning Latin an imaginative journey of discovery while Lorna Robinson outlines how Latin is the basis for English grammar, unlocking the complexities of learning English (and other languages) along the way. Each story is accompanied with creative activities that update the stories around contemporary issues from history, geography, philosophy and literature.

Telling tales in Latin


Title: Telling tales in Latin
Author: Lorna Robinson
Publisher: Souvenir Press Ltd
ISBN: 9780285641792

Description
Telling Tales in Latin teaches Latin through the magic of storytelling. Narrated by the chatty and imaginative Roman poet Ovid (who lived in the Rome of the first century B.C), this new course takes young learners on a journey through some of the tales from Ovid s Metamorphoses. Along the way, they pick up Latin words and grammar, explore the connections between Latin and English and discover how Ovid's stories still speak to us today. 

 Each chapter introduces one of Ovid s much-loved stories, encouraging children to begin reading Latin immediately while exploring the literary and mythic context of the stories. At the end of each chapter there are suggested activities to help learners to think about what they have just read, and to understand how the stories connect to ideas and issues that are still relevant today, from relationships with others and philosophy, to science and caring for the planet. 

 Soham De s illustrations bring Ovid s stories alive for a wide range of learners and make learning Latin a colourful journey of discovery. Telling Tales in Latin outlines how Latin is the basis for English grammar, unlocking the complexities of learning English (and other languages) along the way. It also contains the vocabulary and grammar needed for the OCR Entry Level Latin qualification, making this book the ideal first introduction to Latin.
