As Classical Civilisation teachers we appreciate the articistic techniques of the ancients, we enjoy studying political and social contexts, and value the ideas expressed in classical texts. This course is about ensuring our passion for the subject is transferred to our students. It aims to provide a range of strategies and techqiues to help teachers motivate students to a greater depth of knowledge of stronger understanding of subject concepts.
How can we help students remember details better and develop their opinions? Why is it imporatnt to find contemporary links? Are creative tasks and roleplays a waste of time or a great technique to improve the quality of students' work? We will explore these and other questions in a practical, ideas-rich course.
