MAGISTRA HURT



We need to talk about Latinitas.

We need to be able to critically discuss Latinitas in the context of Latin teaching, including in CI Latin books and self-published novellas. Speech rules banning public criticism of novellas cause greater tension and shame surrounding these issues without solving the underlying causes. A healthy community needs to be willing to hear both praise and criticism, which are both part of genuine communication. The pressure to keep telling teachers to publish more novellas for the good of CI has encouraged the proliferation of unquestioned self-publishing strategies instead of giving our community the resources and processes needed to refine and adapt our projects to be more useful outside of the teacher's own classroom.

Semper Solus | Polyphemus having guests for dinner

Polyphemus is happy to live alone. One day he gets some unexpected visitors from Greece, and has them for dinner. This story is based (somewhat loosely) on the version told in Homer's Odyssey, but with an additional detail involving Achaemenides (which was included in Vergil's version in the Aeneid). Remember you can turn captions on or off and select Latin or English using the CC icon and the gear icon! 📚 The pdfs of these slides and all my other illustrated stories are available as digital downloads to my patrons on Patreon at Sestertius Tier and higher.
