A Trip through the Roman Forum: The Coliseum

I created this video for two reasons: my love of Rome and the Forum. I love Rome, I lived there for 6 months and when I saw the Coliseum for the first time I fell in love. Just imagine, you've just arrived in the city and you take the subway straight to the Roman Forum stop. You climb the stairs and come out of the station only to find yourself in the awesome shadow of the Coliseum. It is the most defining piece of architecture in Rome and recognizable world over.

I am currently teaching Latin, so I thought why not kill two birds with one stone. I should use this opportunity to not only create something for the class that I take but for the classes I teach. I have now decided that for Latin 3 final it will be a projected something like this. I like to incorporate technology as much as possible into my class even though it is hard when you teach a dead language and you don't have the necessary hardware.

So the video is easily broken into 3 parts: 1st general information about the Roman Forum, 2nd part is about the assignment that I thought I would incorporate for my students and 3rd is my actual project for C&I 515.

Hello friends!

Welcome to the World of Latin!

Me, Rockin' out at the ampitheater where Pink Floyd played in Pompeii.

Hi, my name is Elizabeth Sweet and I teach Latin at Loyola Sacred Heart High School in Missoula, MT. I am also a student at the University of Montana. I am getting my Master's in Education: Curriculum and Instruction with a double major in Latin and French.

I have created this blog for friends, family, students, collegues and others to join into my world of Latin. My hope and ultimate goal is to get imput from all aspects of my life and merge them into one place where all can come together and see just how exciting the world of Latin can be. This blog will be a blend of fun facts, homework assignments, and just other really cool classic stuff.

LoyolaLinguaLatina (now say that five times fast)! The name of my blog represents Loyola Sacred Heart High School, the place where I teach. Lingua Latina is Latin for the Latin Language. I thought it was the perfect name. If you have any other suggestions let me know!

This is my first ever blog post. I know I have finally made it into the 21st century. I'm not quite sure what I am doing but here comes the adventure!
