Vestigia
by Dr. Marny Lemmel, Ohio Dominican University, OH

Lemmel’s Vestigia translates into Latin the popular unsigned poem “Footprints”. Teachers looking for short verses to have their students translate and/or more modern texts to translate need walk no further. They can follow in Lemmel’s footsteps to find an original, expertly-done Latin text that provides them with a practical exercise for use in class. Students’ familiarity with the English version of the poem could help them understand the general meaning of the text and instead allow them to focus on verb tenses and noun cases, making this a highly effective Latin teaching tool.
