Extra credit and homework for 30 August

First, homework:
Latin 1--Review your timeline and notes; put them into an order that makes sense to you.
Latin 2--What do you think Catullus should do?
Latin 3--Finish reading the chapter and prepare to discuss tomorrow.

And now for extra credit examples.  Here's what I DO NOT WANT.  Please don't print out a Wikipedia (or like) entry; sure, this is about some cool Latin poetry...  But it's not what I want.  Instead, dig a little bit deeper and find recent articles related to recent events, such as this one about preserving ancient cities in Libya from looting during the rebellion that's going on.  Here's another example, Italian cops impersonating gladiators

First post of the year!

Welcome back!  I know the first day isn't the most thrilling but things will get better.  Tomorrow, we write the rules!  Remember to have your proposed rules with you tomorrow so that we can get them onto the board and written in stone.
