Last Thursday and Friday students of Latin, Classical Civilization, and the Classics Club took part in a unique in-school field trip. During this time, students participated in a number of activities meant to replicate some of the activities they would traditionally do as part of the Ontario Student Classics Conference.
Some of these activities included;
- processing replica artefacts as part of an archaeology activity, and present their findings about the site and its qualities;
- hear (virtual) guest speakers/professors on Classical topics from various universities in Ontario; engage in a variety of hands-on creative workshops along with ancient cooking;
- race an ancient Roman chariot;
- view a virtual creative gallery of student work;
- participate in fun Kahoots and Quizizz on general topics related to the Classical world;
- and view documentaries and videos about Classical topics (including some tutorials)
To close out the fun two days students participated in a movie pizza party after school on Friday!
Thanks to Ms. Ellison for organizing such an engaging and creative two-day event for her students.
