Latin Comics

Zachary and Ryan are taking a high school Latin 1 online class this year. A recent assignment required them to read a story in Latin, and then create a 6-panel comic strip which depicted the story.

Since they are familiar with a free, online version of GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program), they used it to create their comic strips.

Here is Zachary's:



And here is Ryan's:



They really are enjoying their class, and are looking forward to working on an upcoming assignment which will require them to pretend to be travel agents and create an advertisement to encourage visits to ancient Rome. That should be interesting. :-)

  2. They're taking Latin 100 from Lone Pine Classical School. They use the Lingua Latina text; they had worked through the first few units of Henle 1 before they enrolled.
