I’m really hoping that I can extend the idea of my own movie project for this class into something like what was done in the video we watched. I’m making a movie on Ares/Mars and the differences between the Greek and Roman realization of the God of War. I’m hoping to use my project as a model for my own students to work in groups and make their own movies about Greco-Roman divinities. The Latin teachers meet and share materials monthly and I’m hoping to produce a whole series on the 14 different major gods by the end of the year, and then make it available to all the Latin teachers county wide as a supplemental material, since our textbook series is weak on myth. Seeing other teachers who have been successful, particularly in Cobb county, gives me hope for this idea.
Take care,
Alex
