Bolchazy-Carducci started the school year out with a series of six webinars that includes presentations about Latin for the New Millennium, eyeVocab, AP®, and Caesar.
There is still time to sign up for the final four webinars:
“Check Out the Materials in the LNM Teachers' Lounge and Other Ideas for Teaching LNM”
Tuesday, October 28, 2014 6:00–7:00 PM ETPresenter: Stephen Sullivan, Renbrook School, West Hartford, Connecticut
Wouldn't you like to learn more about what can be found in the Latin for the New Millennium
Teachers' Lounge? Hate to reinvent the wheel? Love to put your
colleagues' teaching tips to work? Looking for some ideas to add to your
LNM repertoire? This webinar will be a boon to all using Latin for the New Millennium or considering its use.
“Helping AP® Latin Students Explore Themes & Make Connections”
Tuesday, November 4, 2014 6:00–7:00 PM ETPresenter: Mary Pendergraft, Wake Forest University, Winston-Salem, North Carolina
The new AP® Latin curriculum expects students to be able to make connections between Caesar's De bello Gallico and Vergil's Aeneid. Students may also be asked to make connections between two passages from the DBG or two passages from the Aeneid. Dr. Pendergraft's presentation will explore themes that connect Caesar and Vergil.
“Julius Caesar and Roman Religion”
Tuesday, November 11, 2014 6:00–7:00 PM ETPresenter: Hans-Friedrich Mueller, Union College, Schenectady, New York
This webinar examines Roman religion in Caesar's day. It illuminates
Caesar's religious persona from his role as pontifex maximus to that of
general referencing Fortuna in his narrative. This webinar provides a
fuller context for understanding the complex individual who was Julius
Caesar.
“Sabinus and Cotta in Caesar's Bellum Gallicum”
Tuesday, November 18, 2014 6:00–7:00 PM ETPresenter: John Jacobs, Montclair Kimberly Academy, Montclair, New Jersey
Jacobs will talk about how Caesar works Sabinus and Cotta into the earlier narrative of the Bellum Gallicum
in books 2, 3, and 4 in anticipation of their critical appearance in
book 5. He also examines the reception of Sabinus and Cotta in
subsequent reports of the debacle in Greek and Latin literature. He will
show how AP® Latin teachers can offer their classes
something of the reading I offer for the Caesar, but also perhaps make
use of the later sources for either papers or projects or else for
assessment. The Common Core expects students to be able to marshal
primary sources for the defense of an argument. As Jacobs will
demonstrate, Latin teachers have been doing this all along.

eyeVocab maximizes state-of-the-art technology and revolutionizes second language vocabulary acquisition. Far more than an electronic flashcard, eyeVocab uses “distinctive affective images in isolation” in combination with audio recitation and keyboard input so that students hardwire the new vocabulary in their memory. Classes using eyeVocab, designed for the language lab as well as for individual use at home, experience dramatically significant improvement in vocabulary retention.
Watch eLitterae for updates on eyeVocab.
