- war commentaries of Julius Caesar
- colored paper doll Roman soldiers
- colored paper doll ancient Gallic soldiers
- paper doll war between the French and Latin students
This year's reenactment is taking it to another level!
- Starting Monday, February 8th there will be a map attached with magnets to a dry erase board in the World Language office. Ten magnets representing Gallic troops will be placed in the northwest corner of Gaul, and ten representing Roman troops will be placed at the Gaul/Italy border.
- French 3/4 classes and Latin 3/4 classes will take a few minutes each day to go to the map and roll a die to determine how far troops get to move. The die cast is to determine miles, but in order to make the move, students must answer questions written by upper level students. Answer correctly and move the distance. Answer incorrectly and stay where you are.
- When forces get within range, the game changes. The die cast then determines the number of enemy troops lost in a battle, but again, this only works if students answer questions correctly.
- The losing general, (General Reid or General Perkins), will have to wear a garment from the other side (Latin Club shirt General Reid, French Club shirt for General Perkins), have pictures taken, and suffer the humiliation of defeat.
Elements of both chance and skill have been incorported, just as
are present in actual warfare. Upper
level students will remember the experience from their level II French or Latin class and therefore understand their involvement in creating the questions.
Thanks to Jill Reid and Steve Perkins for sharing their wonderful creation!!
