Each week I post the agenda for all my classes. To check your class's assignments, find the post titled with the current week and then look for the table titled with your class name. Each box in the table is one day's agenda, titled with the date (that row of boxes makes up one week on the calendar).
In-class work is listed first, with homework listed last. - Homework is usually listed in green text. - Tests and other assessments are in blue text. - Handouts or worksheets are underlined. Key to the Abbreviations
The agenda posts on this page are copied directly from my lesson plan documents, in which I use a few regular abbreviations to save space. Here are the ones you can expect to see.
HW: Homework TB: Textbook WB: Workbook VM: Vade Mecum handbook HO: Handout WS: Worksheet Ex: Exercises Act: Activities MQ: Mini-quiz RaTPG or GWB: Review and Test Preparation Guide, a.k.a. the Grammar Workbook (blue workbook) for Latin 3 WL: Wordlist (for Etymology) XW: Crossword worksheet
Note that during the week, plans may change to better accommodate student needs and time constraints. You may find it best to check the agenda both at the beginning and end of the week in case of updates.
Short Answer: I teach Latin.
~*~
Long Answer: I teach Latin. I am an actor, a choir director, a cheerleader, and a counselor. I am a scholar and a babysitter. I live more in the past (like, around 509 B.C.) than the present, but the present is richer for it. I cajole adolescents to memorize esoteric lists of noun-endings and verb-conjugations, and I smile when I see the light go on as they experience the reason why they learn these lists. I recreate history. I dress up in a Roman matron's stola. I get teenagers not just to dress up in stolas and togas, but to recline among their friends *on* a tabletop the way the Romans would have reclined *at* table. I quote Catullus and Ovid and Seneca and make them relevant to Britney Spears and the President and the girl who just dumped you and the big test you forgot to study for. I give life to Olympians who all the kids know "never" existed. I make the root of Western Civilization come alive and set kids to speaking in its language: I teach Latin.
