someone recently asked me, "how would you teach Cicero's Pro Caelio or Catilinarians?" I answered, "I wouldn't."

— Dr Hannah Čulík-Baird (@opietasanimi) March 27, 2017

I understand the appeal in these canonical Ciceronian texts, but imo they are overtaught

— Dr Hannah Čulík-Baird (@opietasanimi) March 27, 2017

beginning Latin students have been reading Cicero's Catilinarians literally since the ancient period

— Dr Hannah Čulík-Baird (@opietasanimi) March 27, 2017

one of the problems with that is that there are no "school" texts; in fact, there are barely any editions of these

— Dr Hannah Čulík-Baird (@opietasanimi) March 27, 2017

but I think this is going to have to be one of the rhetorical angles of this class; study Cicero like you haven't seen him before

Poll — Do you encourage your students in Latin/Greek language classes to use online dictionary tools?

— Dr Hannah Čulík-Baird (@opietasanimi) March 27, 2017

yes — I think a big part of it is a distaste for the digital, people (not me) often think it is "cheating" https://t.co/Rfjdj9554H

— Dr Hannah Čulík-Baird (@opietasanimi) March 27, 2017

is there a cognitive benefit to using a physical dictionary? are you likely to remember the vocabulary better? (discuss)
