Discipulus Illustris (Distinquished Student)

Some of you have already done some work on this, using the Slides to write in Latin about yourselves. Today we are going to use them to find out about each other and to give you a chance to make progress in understanding the questions and answering in Latin. 

At least once a week a student will be chosen to present themselves to the class using the questions and answers on the slides and, if desired, to add some new things about yourself.

01 Week Conversation (Colloquium) Comic

 Here is the link to the Colloquium Comic. Colloquium means conversation. I have put words in some speech bubbles. I hope you don't simply use these, but instead look at the greetings materials we have focused on this week and come up with something original. You can also change or add to the figures on each slide.
