Living Latin


Latin scholars should be reminded to wear their sandals! Spectate -- Audite -- Nunc dicite -- Agite -- Legite -- Scribite.

Living Latin is an opportunity to earn extra credit. Students need to find an example of Latin used in an English and/or stand alone context which can be readily understood by "the man (or woman) in the street." Once the phrase has been found, e.g. "Carpe wi-fi," they need to bring in the example, translate the example, use the living Latin in their own phrase, AND, most importantly put their name on it. Agite discupuli, carpete extra credit!
