The Assignment:
In order to obtain background information on the authors whose work we will be reading in class this year, Latin III students will do a research project. Each pair of students will select an author from the list given to you by Ms. Luongo. You will be researching your author and preparing a presentation for the class.Your presentation must include a visual aid such as: a power point presentation, a poster, a map, a timeline, etc. You will also prepare a permanent section sheet on your author to share with your classmates. The permanent section sheet must include pertinent information about your author, his life, and works.
You will also help prepare the class to translate a passage that Ms. Luongo will give you from one of your author’s most famous works. If you would prefer to do a different passage, you must get approval from Ms. Luongo. You will need to find an English translation of your passage and read the context in English.You will also be expected to fill your class in on the background of your passage and prepare a vocabulary list to guide them. Ms. Luongo will actually lead the class through the translation after you introduce the passage.
A bibliography will be required for each project.You must use at least five sources. One must be A History of Latin Literature by Moses Hadas or Latin Literature by Gian Biagio Conte and one must be the Loeb translation of your author’s work. You must use the proper format for your bibliography (according to the links from the St. Andrew’s library website) and it must be typed.
You will receive a test grade for this project. That grade will be based upon knowledge acquired; completeness of research; usefulness of permanent section sheet; professionalism, preparedness and quality of presentation and visual aid; and preparation for translation passage. This permanent section sheet and bibliography will be due on Thursday, January 10. The presentations will begin in class on Monday, January 14.
