Oxford Classics Competition opportunity: Graphic Novel creation
|
Does your learner love Greek myths? Let them get creative by participating in a fun and rewarding competition. The Oxford Classics Faculty are looking for the best comic strips based on a Greek myth. Entries will be judged by (drumroll, please!) Neil Gaiman and Roel Konijnendijk, and teams can enter for different age ranges (spanning from 11-18). Here is the poster, followed by further information on how to participate: For more details, visit the Classics Faculty website and look at the templates and submission details. You have until the 4th of August, so it is perfect to fill the time until you go on holiday. Let me take this opportunity to remind you that registration is open until July 10th for Latin Taster Classes and Classical Greek Intermediate Certificate preparation courses. These are perfect for students in schools where Greek is not offered. Just reply to this email if you have any questions about them! |

(in this email: movie recommendations, course information and a pooing log!) I recently went to see Conclave, and let me tell you: this is a must-watch for Latin students! The movie is a 12Aa, which suits both GCSE and A-Level students. So, why should Latin students watch it? Watch the trailer, and then we can talk: The trailer does indeed do justice to this trepidant thriller: I was on edge for the whole two hours (which felt like 30 minutes anyway). And this is despite having read the book...
