Date of webinar: Recorded on October 22, 2022, at 12 noon EST (duration of approximately 1 hour)

Presenter: Chris Buczek, East Syracuse Minoa Central School District, NY

Level: middle school--university

Track: Standards Based Instructional Design:  focuses on models of curriculum design, strategies to support the modes of communication, the implementation of culturally authentic resources, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity in the teaching of Latin and Greek.

Description: In this presentation, I will discuss my Latin 2 curriculum, which is based on comprehensible input, extensive reading, and specific themes: comparison, hubris, entertainment, life and death, and relationships. Throughout these curricular units, students will read stories from mythology, history, and historical fiction (mainly through my own novella Fabula Dioclis et Florae), and make relevant connections between ancient and modern society. I will also discuss my modes of assessment and grading based on proficiency, which portray an accurate reflection of the student’s understanding of the material. Furthermore, I will explain briefly in the beginning what students learn in Latin 1, and how Latin 2’s subject.
