Catullus: Tuffy the
Tugboat meets the Brave Little Toaster
Creative Assignments for
Catullus
Often I would be tired of reading
many essays detailing the same information, so I gave the students
a creative assignment for the poems (this was in addition to
the normal quizzes - it's necessary to keep them on task, after
all!). The most popular one was for Poem 5 (Latin
text); you can see some examples of their translations and
artwork here. The marriage hymn was another favorite, and one
student did a board game version; unfortunately it was too large
to scan for this presentation, but another of the illustrations
for this poem is also here.
