Cunctaque miratur, quibus est mirabilis ipse Workshop on Teaching the Advanced Placement Ovid Syllabus Judith P. Hallett and Diana Jensen, presiding Participants to include Melissa Schons Bishop (Boston Latin School); Mary Brown (Lower Merion High School: CAAS Regional Representative for Philadelphia); Leslie Cahoon (Gettysburg College: CAAS Regional Representative for Central Pennsylvania); Stephen Ciraolo; Nathan Costa; Henri de Marcellus (The Branson School, Ross, California); Elaine Fantham (Princeton University); Alice Garrett (Haverford High School, Pennsylvania); Richard Gilder (Tuxedo Park School.

Pearcy; John Perrotta (University of Maryland, College Park); Ann Raia; Amy Richlin (University of California at Los Angeles); Marilyn Skinner. This limited enrollment workshop will develop strategies for integrating scholarship about three episodes from Ovid´s Metamorphoses on the Advanced Placement Latin Literature Ovid Syllabus into the secondary school curriculum, and into college-level courses that feature the Ovid selections on the AP syllabus. The three episodes are the stories of Daphne and Apollo (Met.1. 451-567); Pyramus and Thisbe (4.55-166); and Pygmalion (10.238-297). The scholarly studies on these episodes that participants are asked to read represent both traditional philological and innovative feminist approaches to these texts. Participants will be divided into groups of 5-6, composed of both college-level and secondary school faculty, each of which will analyze one of these three episodes and consider how the relevant scholarly studies might be fruitfully employed in their teaching. We welcome the participation of anyone who would like to learn more about the AP Ovid syllabus, including secondary and college faculty and classics graduate students, as well as experienced Ovid teachers and Ovid specialists. Since the workshop cannot accommodate more than 10 additional participants, and since copies of the scholarly studies we will read need to be sent to participants in advance, those wishing to participate are requested to pre-register by September 28, 2005 with Judith P. Hallett, jeph@umd.edu. |
