For Teachers
Colloquia
Latin dialogues written to help you improve your Latin and your teaching skills.
Phrases and Proverbs
A collection of Latin phrases, idioms, and proverbs. Studying phrases and proverbs is an excellent way to get a feel for the way the Romans expressed themselves. We’ve got a post about how useful they can be here. I frequently assign three or four of these a week for students of all levels to memorize. Just like the trivia questions, enjoy the first twenty five on the house.
Interesting Facts about the Ancient World
A great resource for dispelling classroom monotony. Challenge your students’ knowledge of the ancient world. Most questions are designed in such a way that one could guess the answer. In my experience, students of all ages love these kinds of things, and it is a great way to teach them a little bit more about the ancient world.
A lot of care and attention were put into collecting these interesting tidbits, and we offer the first 25 for free. The main source of the information was Erasmus’ Adagia, but each fact has a cited work. All works referenced are at the bottom of the sheet if you are interested in following up on anything.
