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! |

salve Reader! Students often look for quick fixes at this time of the year, and one of them is the dictionary. Surely the problem is that they do not know the words in the text? Surely it is because they do not have a dictionary? Wrong. There is a moment and a place for a dictionary, and the dictionary you choose (if indeed you need one) is key to success. In my latest blogpost I share my thoughts on when, how and why choose a dictionary, covering all the needs from Year 5 to Year 13. Let me...
