Final Project or Exam-Your Choice

Instead of a usual in class exam on the last day of class, you may choose to do a creative composition project.

FINAL PROJECT- Latin 201

Translate a short story (or part of one) into Latin. The story may be your own or be taken from a book or play or whatever. You must do this on your own. No specific help from classmates. You have to include the full English version with your Latin translation.

In the Latin translation you must correctly employ 5 grammatical constructions from chapters 47-59 and 10 more from anywhere else in your textbook or your Latin grammar book (Allen and Greenough). You should footnote each Latin grammatical construction; name it and give the section number in your textbook or in Allen and Greenough. All 15 constructions should be taken from 15 separate sections of your book (or Allen and Greenough). Two constructions from the same section only count once. My example story uses 8 separate sections from ch. 47-59 and 23 other separate sections, a total of 31 constructions, more than twice what I am asking of you.
