studies, follow them with activities which reinforce learning, and then lead students in careful reflection. So the assignment might be Ovid, the great Latin poet. A student might study Ovid, and then write a poem in the style of Ovid and read the poem as Ovid might have performed it. Only then does a reflection on the manner and impact and importance of Ovid for history and for poetry make sense.

Thank you for reading.
