This month we could only fill 7 grants! With over $7,000 needed for emergency requests and a backlog of $13,000 from this year alone, please consider monthly donations. Many requests this month are from those that are food insecure and/or facing medical emergencies.

We have not one but TWO exciting new pedagogy events coming up, facilitated by Ellen Lee Amy Pistone! You can register for both of these events at wccclassics.org/events August 7 - To Grade or Not to Grade?: Alternative Grading Approaches August 15 - Teaching with/as a TA

Apropos of nothing: did you know that Jonathan Haidt is listed on the board of the "University of Austin" alongside Kathleen Stock, Gordon Gee, and Joshua Katz!

Reader, I did the thing! My open-access Wheelock supplement officially drops tomorrow!!! Stay tuned for more!

Case in point: Dr. Amy Pistone Amy Pistone created this module, an explainer on the differences (& similarities) between grammatical gender & gender as part of human identity. (I don't know about y'all, but my students always ask about this!) Take a look! sites.google.com/view/leeslatin…

The first novella-style reading in this supplement is a short-and-sweet version of the story of Apollo & Hyacinthus, keyed to the grammar and vocab content in Wheelock's first 6 chapters. sites.google.com/view/leeslatin…

Today's feature is an amazing module, from Zoé Elise Thomas, archaeadne.bsky., on what the Romans knew about the human skeleton! Incorporating evidence from both medical & art historical sources, it's got something for everyone, from pre-meds to art kids! 💀 sites.google.com/view/leeslatin…

As you're feverishly writing your syllabi (or is that just me?), consider including a module on curses! My new colleague Sarah Brucia Breitenfeld created this one about RIB 154, a curse on thieves from Aquae Sulis in Bath! 📷 Mike Peel sites.google.com/view/leeslatin…
