Life in late capitalism can be vexing, alienating, fragmenting, and otherwise frustrating. There are many wonderful things in my life, but I'm more likely to talk about what's bad rather than what's good. I'm going to try to post one good thing here each day, and if you would join in by adding a good thing from your day in the comments, I'd love it--I'd absolutely love it. --RR
12/3: looking back
When I'm teaching beginning Latin or beginning Greek I start each class session with a "thing of the day"--be it an interesting word or etymological connection, an historical person or event, or an ancient artifact. Then, at the end of the semester, students can opt to take a bonus quiz on all the things of the day. Today I compiled the master list of the daily things for the Greek course: what a collection of tidbits and curiosities, and a fun way to get a snapshot of the semester and the ground we've covered.
