Introduction
Salvete omnes!
Mihi nomen est David. I am a junior at the University of Mary Washington, currently studying the Classics and entering my first third semester of the Secondary Education Program.
Purpose:
Education-
This blog’s original purpose was to meditate on my practicum and how it pertained to my Educ 204 class. I still hope to do this, but in a much more broader sense. I’m also working on a curriculum and lesson plans, some of which I may post for criticism, sharing, and reflection.
Latin-
As mentioned above I am classics major. More specifically, I hope to one day be a Latin teacher. Therefore, I hope, if it be permitted, also to use this blog as a stage for the Latin language, my passion, and the classical world in general.
