SUMMARY:Year 11/12 Classics and English day at University of Oxford - please note change of date - 2nd of June 2016
DESCRIPTION:CLASSICS AND ENGLISH DAY\nUNIVERSITY OF OXFORD – THURSDAY 2 JUNE 2016\n\n\n\nFrom Rome to Panem: epic\, satire and the city\n\nThe Faculty of Classics\, together with Oriel College and Regent’s Park College\, are proud to offer UK Year 11 and Year 12 students an introduction to studying Classics and English at university. The day will include a taster seminar\, lunch in the main dining hall\, two college tours with current students\, and in-depth information on the Oxford admissions process. The day is entirely free of charge. \nCities rise and fall; they are the highest expression of a civilisation’s cultural achievements and they plumb the depths of corruption and degradation. Aeneas flees from the burning city of Troy to fulfil his destiny to found Rome but that can only be achieved through the deaths of young men and women and the destruction of individual hopes. Satan builds the city of Pandaemonium to destroy humanity but gazes with hate-filled longing on the salvation represented by the heavenly city. Disaffected satirists despise and exploit the hunger of citizens for bread and circuses from ancient Rome to the Capitol of Panem. They hate the corruption they see but know that they are part of it. Beauty and power\, corruption and filth are equally exciting.  This taster day will give you the opportunity to explore literature ancient and modern\, familiar and unfamiliar and decide whether winning the glittering prize of the city is ever worth the sacrifices required. \n \nPlease complete the booking form below by 12pm\, 13 May 2016. We are expecting this to be a popular event\, so bookings will be accepted on a first come-first served basis. If you have any questions about the day\, please contact Mai Musie at mai.musie@classics.ox.ac.uk. \n\nPROVISIONAL PROGRAMME\nOriel College (OX1 4EW): \n10.00 — Arrival at Oriel College \n10.30 – 11.15 Classics and English Admissions talk\, with Dr Kathryn Murphy and Ms Mai Musié \n11.30 – 12.00 Tour of Oriel with current undergraduates \nRegent’s Park College (OX1 2LB): \n12.15 – 13.15 Lunch (provided free of charge) \n13.30 – 14.30 Academic seminars: ‘From Rome to Panem: satire\, epic and the city’ led by Dr Peta Fowler\, Dr Lynne Robson\, Dr Llewelyn Morgan \n14.30 – 15.00 Tea break \n15.00 – 15.30 The Archive of Performance of Greek and Roman Drama at Oxford\, Professor Fiona Macintosh \n15.30 — 16.00 Feedback/evaluation and departure \nFor booking details: http://www.oriel.ox.ac.uk/content/classics-and-english-day \n

SUMMARY:'End of the Roman empire: a mirror for our times?' A lecture by Tom Holland
DESCRIPTION:“As we all know from the Roman Empire\,” said the Dutch Prime Minister late last year\, “big empires go down if the borders are not well-protected.” As Western Europe faces the largest influx of people across its borders since Otto the Great’s defeat of the Magyars in 955\, Tom Holland asks what light\, if any\, the so-called Age of Migrations can shed on today’s crisis. Are there parallels? What are the differences? \nThis is a special event to raise funds for Classics for All’s grant programme for state schools. \nThis is Classics for All’s annual fundraising lecture event\, and we encourage you to give an extra donation above the standard ticket\, which will go towards our ‘grant pot’ for state schools in 2016.  We have suggested amounts here\, but you may also wish to visit our website where you can make a donation. Perhaps you would like to join our ranks of ‘Centurion’ supporters giving £100 per year by direct debit. \nDoors will open at 6.30pm and the talk will start at 7.00pm. \nA teacher and pupils from our Capital Classics project will then say a few words and please join us afterwards for a reception with wine and canapés. \nWhen Monday\, 13 June 2016 from 18:30 to 21:30 (BST)\nWhere Royal Society’s Wellcome Trust Lecture Hall – Carlton House Terrace\, London SW1Y 5AG\, United Kingdom – View Map \nTO BOOK YOUR TICKETS CLICK HERE!

SUMMARY:Ancient History and History Summer Taster Day - University of Southampton\, 22nd and 23rd June
DESCRIPTION:History/Ancient History Summer School for Sixth Forms and Colleges \n‘Migration: From Antiquity to the Modern World’ \nWednesday 22nd  and Thursday 23rd June 2016\, 9am for 9.30am to 4pm  \nAvenue Campus\, University of Southampton \nMigration touches all of our lives. In Britain today\, we tend to experience it as the product of crises – the familiar figures of refugees fleeing Syria being such a prominent part of the media landscape in recent months – or as somehow inextricably connected to the rise of globalisation\, the product of a uniquely interconnected world. But migration has always been a part of the human experience. This Summer School gives you the opportunity to look at this crucially important topic across the centuries. Why do people move from place to place? How do they move from place to place? How have people talked about migration\, and how has it changed those who emigrated\, and those who experienced immigrants arriving in their own communities? From migration in Ancient Greece\, through to the experiences of Jewish refugees in the 1930s\, and postwar immigration and the making of modern multicultural Britain\, the day’s series of talks and workshops offers a chance to think about what makes experiences of migration different\, and what makes them similar\, across humans’ recorded existence. \nThe summer school will provide a taster of university teaching\, including both short lectures\, seminar discussions and source work\, and would be a great demonstration of commitment to and interest in studying Classical Civilisation\, Ancient History\, History and Humanities on a personal statement. The day will conclude with a joint session with English students\, who will be attending a conference simultaneous to our own\, which will include a panel on university admissions (with members of the admissions team)\, and university life (with current staff and students) and will be an opportunity to get advice on applying for Ancient History\, Classics\, History and Humanities subjects at university. By participating in this summer school\, it is hoped that your students will further their knowledge and interest in Ancient History and a broad range of Humanities subjects. It will encourage the development of your students’ skills in critical thinking\, reflection and analysis. We also hope to foster their sense of educational ambition by introducing them to the learning environment of a Russell Group University. \nThere is no charge for this programme\, but you and your students would need to bring a packed lunch or money for use in our cafes. We also have a limited number of bursaries available to help with transportation costs. \nThe same programme will be offered on both days – please indicate which day you would prefer to attend. \nWe would be delighted if you are interested in bringing your students. Please get in touch with Danielle Lockwood (dll1w07@southampton.ac.uk) if you are interested in attending and to reserve your places\, or if you would like further information. We are also very happy to speak to you on the phone or meet in person to discuss this opportunity. \nAncient History sessions will include: \nFrom Multiculture to Military Culture? The Roman Army in Britain  Louise Revell \nMigration in the Ancient Greek World Annelies Cazemier \nFor Ancient History at Southampton\, see: http://www.southampton.ac.uk/ancienthistory

SUMMARY:OCR GCSE/A Level Classics: Teaching and Learning Conference: Classics in the classroom
DESCRIPTION:The Faculty of Classics at Oxford will be hosting the OCR GCSE and A Level Classics: Teaching and Learning Conference: Classics in the classroom on Tuesday 28th of June 2016. \nAimed at/Audience \n\nNew teachers of OCR\nCurrent teachers of OCR\nAll teachers of OCR\nTeachers of any exam board/specification\nTeachers considering OCR\n\nDescription/Aims \nThis fantastic one day CPD event will introduce and enable discussion of innovative and creative approaches to delivering Classical subjects (Classical Civilisation\, Ancient History\, Latin and Classical Greek)\, with a focus on accessibility and widening the appeal of Classics. \nThe conference will include a keynote lecture ‘Widening access to Classics through Classical Civilisation and Ancient History: the ‘FORTGRIT’ project’ from Dr Arlene Holmes-Henderson. Outlining current and future efforts to promote the study of non-linguistic Classics in UK schools\, this talk will feature a number of case study schools which have introduced Classical Civilisation and Ancient History to their curriculum. In addition to sharing the feedback from learners and teachers\, this talk will make suggestions about the role of non-linguistic Classics in the future landscape of UK Classics education. \nThe day will also offer a choice of workshop sessions\, running parallel throughout the day. Each of these sessions will concentrate on a specific topic\, allowing you to book onto those most relevant to your teaching requirements\, and will focus on innovative\, engaging teaching and learning techniques with a real focus on classroom practice. When placing your booking\, please select the three sessions you would like to attend: \nHobbits\, Heroes and Homer: using film to teach epic poetry Caroline Bristow \nIt can be difficult to convey the excitement and drama of Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey to a 21st century classroom: many students view ancient epic as a dry\, outdated part of an examination syllabus which is to be endured and not enjoyed. Today’s students do\, however\, understand the role played by film in capturing audiences’ imaginations and creating heroic\, iconic figures.  By studying popular films\, arguably the true modern successor to epic\, students’ understanding of Homer’s narrative decisions and style can be enhanced in an accessible and enjoyable way. In this session Caroline Bristow will discuss and illustrate how this often underused and undervalued medium can be used to engage students in their studies of epic poetry; demonstrating that far from a mere end of term treat\, movies can be an effective and academically challenging teaching tool. \nNew approaches to Greek Luke Marquez \nThe bustling revellers of the Dionysia would have listened enraptured as a lone actor delivered yet another impassioned speech; Greek tragedy was a visceral and experiential art\, so why when we study it are we spending so much time with our heads in books?  Keeping Greek Tragedy interesting and relevant to today’s students can be quite a challenge. Using some of the techniques employed by drama practitioners\, we can breathe life into the text. Engaging students in an embodied exploration of the text provides opportunity for discussion\, debate and analysis of the underlying themes. In this session Luke Marquez will offer practical exercises for exploring Greek tragedy as performance\, using techniques from contemporary theatre practices and his own teaching experience. He will discuss the importance of engaging students in the play’s dramatic potential\, making it accessible to a wide range of learners and also enabling students to better understand the text’s original purpose and impact. \nThe Latin Programme – New approaches to Latin Zanna Wing-Davey \nSince 2008\, The Latin Programme has provided innovative\, interactive hands-on learning to London’s children\, significantly improving their literacy results.  The Latin Programme challenges the traditional pedagogy of Classical languages by using songs\, games\, raps and storytelling to bring Latin to life. In this engaging and active session Zanna Wing-Davey\, Teacher and Executive Director will share some of the techniques used by The Latin Programme and work with participants on how to put them into practice in Latin lessons. \nLearning from objects Clare Cory \nLearning from objects is an exciting and invaluable approach to learning about the past. Objects connect us to people\, places and events in a unique\, inspiring and engaging way.  They fire the imagination\, stimulate curiosity and encourage us to ask questions and learn in innovative ways. Whilst a school trip to Rome or Pompeii might be an excellent experience\, often overlooked is the wealth of visual and material evidence available to schools and students here in the UK.  Often teachers do not realise what is available\, or lack confidence in accessing these resources and creating effective learning opportunities using them. In this session Clare Cory will introduce approaches to learning from objects to use with students. She will explain what museums and galleries can offer teachers and how to get the most from them. \nLanguage learning across languages Dr Philomen Probert \nWhen we learn languages we often find some things harder than others. For example\, the distinction between masculine and feminine nouns in French is difficult for English speakers\, but basic French word order is a bit easier. The use of the English word ‘the’ is very difficult for Russian speakers\, but a bit easier for French speakers. (English spelling is difficult for everybody…) For these reasons\, different points need emphasis when we teach different languages to different groups of people. Yet ways of talking about languages have also influenced one another across languages and cultures. In western Europe this historically meant that for a long time Latin grammars provided a template for grammars of modern European languages. The recent history of language teaching and learning has involved considerable efforts to describe languages on their own terms\, rather than squeezing one language into a grammatical model designed for another. This talk will argue that\, although this has been an excellent and much-needed development\, it is worth exploring the template-based ways in which languages have historically been considered. This will encourage reflection on language teaching today\, and how it differs from that of the past\, and also perhaps highlight how historical practices may after all have something to add to our understanding of language learning. \nFurther details of the workshop sessions and speakers will be released in advance of the event both on the CPD Hub and through notifications sent to those who have already booked their place.  \nBook now to secure your place! \nhttps://www.cpdhub.ocr.org.uk/DesktopDefault.aspx?e=eeefkacmhhpiblncfgpfbpepiopjembfcnjanabfpkdgbhbkjm \nFee/Other \nPlease note\, content may be subject to change.  \nThis course is £65.00 and includes a set of essential course materials. Refreshments and a light lunch will be provided at the course.
