How To Use Picture Studies to Enrich Latin Learning

Bring Latin alive through picture study observation and conversation! Using a great work of art, a Latin dictionary (or list of vocab words), and a few simple questions, attendees will learn how to both develop the habit of attention in their students, and engage in basic Latin conversation with them that focuses on the objective of their lesson. We will start with “Quid est in pictura?” and go from there! By the end, attendees will be equipped with questions to ask their own students and will feel confident to lead a picture study time in their classroom/homeschool.

She holds both a BA and an MA in Theological Studies, which have enriched her teaching and writing.

Above all, she delights in sharing her enthusiasm for teaching and learning with others.
