This is a sample post, in English (mind you), about setting up your blog. All this post serves is to discuss the purpose of this project, and link you to the instructions. Your first blog post will NOT be in English, so be aware of that!
Text written in BLACK are general instructions about the blog
Text written in PURPLE are magistra's comments about things you can do!
Ready?
Purpose
You can play with the headings, colour, and pretty much every other editing tool!
The purpose of this project is to let you have some freedom with the discipulus illustris activities we've done. You will work more with this vocabulary, familiarise yourself with your classmates, and learn how to better express yourself in this project.
This project will also serve as a beginning point for a MAJOR project we'll begin in January. Keep your eyes open!
Process
During this process, we'll meet every other week in a computer lab. You'll be asked to respond to another post (either yours or a friends) and then post on your own blog. A few BASICS for your blog posts:
- They must be in Latin!
- They must make use of the discipulus illustris questions.
- They must include a picture.
Resources
- Today's "Setting up your blog" instructions.
- Today's "Writing your first blog post" instructions.

Remember
While you are writing in Latin, I should be providing you with all the tools you need. Use the tips below to make your writing clearer, understandable, and easy to write.
Tips for Writing
| DON'T DO THIS | DO THIS |
|---|---|
| Don't write in English first! | Do use the discipulus illustris questions as a guide |
| Don't use a translator! | Do use your vocabulary lists, grammar notes, and teacher for help. |
| Don't complicate your writing with words you don't know | Do simplify your writing using the discipulus illustris questions and ask your teacher for help. |
Blogger (where this blog is) doesn't do tables in the editor. You will need html to make tables if you want.
Tips for Latin
- Your complete vocabulary list can be found in eClass.
- The complete vocabulary list from last year can also be found in eClass.
- All our grammar notes are on eClass!
- Your teacher can be a great aid. Ask her for help with words!
