Resending: 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! |

Quizlet gives us the illusion that we are working hard: Look at all the right answers! And the amount of words I have seen on the screen! But those words will probably not stick for long if you do not use them. Ultimately, you are just clicking away and committing them to memory... temporarily. So what can you do...
This week, I heard back from my first ICCG cohort, and we celebrated their excellent results together. This made me think about access to classical Greek and all the people who miss a chance to learn because of misunderstandings about who can and can't do it. Let us be honest: Have you been told that Greek is only reserved for the most clever of all students and that you can only do it if you attend a highly selective school? This is simply not true, although I have heard it more times than I...
