MWF Language Classes

All language students:

If you have requested to join a class, consider yourself enrolled. Class rosters will be updated throughout the week. Remember that Friday is your last day to ADD or DROP a class.

Because we have so many new people, all vocabulary quizzes are postponed until next week. We will still be doing sign-ups for class presentations this week: I would like to start those in two weeks.

I will cover last week's lectures during lab hours this week, except for Friday: this Friday's lab hours will be a showing of Wings of Desire, open to all interested students. I strongly encourage European language students to attend.

Office hours will be a [livejournal.com profile] game_of_you.


[OOC: There is a comment posted for each class to this entry. Please post your class participation beneath the class you're taking. Am working: will play when I can. This is mostly for students to interact.]

I began by petitioning the students at my former school. Since I'd built such a rock-solid platform (thank you, Debate Team Captain award), I managed to convince 438 students -- aged 8 - 17 -- that Latin was not what they refer to as "a dead language". [Max uses air quotes here.] Then, I lobbied in front of the PTA, the school board and the curriculum committee.

Of course, I did it all for love. Meaning: all for naught. At the time, I had yet to be smitted with the tongue, as I am now. The reward for my efforts with Latin, however, was being dumped flat on my anyway. So, it was pointless in the end. And now grades 7 through 12 have to take it as a required course. And someone kept slashing my bike tires.
