Dear
Parents/Guardians:
Salvete!
(Hello!)
I
regard it as a great honor that your student has elected to take Latin. I
commit to making this semester productive, engaging, and (hopefully) enjoyable
for us all.
COURSE FOCUS
Regardless
of the course level, the focus of my Latin classes is the same; to educate my
students on how the study of the Latin language, Roman history, and mythology
is “alive” and “valuable” in their lives today. This is very much a
“Connections” class.
CLASSROOM SUPPLIES
On
a practical note, I would also mention that the Latin classroom would benefit
greatly from such items as Box of tissues, Hand Sanitizer, etc. These items are
not a requirement for your student, but would be greatly appreciated if donated.
PERMISSION FOR
MOVIES
Movies
are a very useful medium to reinforce the knowledge of the student (more often
than not pointing out the inaccuracies of the movie to highlight the “facts”!!).
However since these were quite violent times, so are the special effects
employed by the moviemakers. Therefore, some of the movies under consideration
(such as Troy, Gladiator) carry a “R” rating. I would appreciate it if you
would indicate your approval or disapproval for your student to view these when
you return the signed slip below.
I
am truly looking forward to spending this semester – and hopefully following
ones – with your student. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or
concerns.
Sincerely,
William
Browning (Magister Antonius)
