Postcard Assignment

POSTCARD ASSIGNMENT            Mythology, Geography, and Love among the Rabbits

Choose a character from one of Ovid’s myths and write a letter from the point of view of this character to your love interest.  For example Pyramus would write to Thisbe.  Choose a location from Mediterranean geography associated with your character.   You can highlight anything you want inside that region; if you pick a city, you can highlight any aspect of that city…do you get the point?   Choose a locale, decide what aspect of that locale you want to highlight on a postcard (it could be multiple aspects).  Either use internet to find appropriate visuals.  if you care quite skilled at drawing/painting/ or any personal manual talent, you can create your image on your own.

You should write a brief love letter that contains pronouns, relative clauses, nouns of all declensions, passive voice, etc.   Show this to me before it goes on postcard so that I can edit and correct it for you.  You are limited to vocabulary found in Latin Via Ovid. The more sophisticated and correct the Latin, the higher the grade.  The corrected version of this goes on the back of the postcard. 

Create your postcard on 2 separate 8.5 x 11 inch paper or on both sides one sheet of paper.  We do have some heavier card stock, if you want.  Your postcard should have a great image, a caption (try to do it in Latin, ask if you need some help).  Your postcard needs to be addressed (try to do so in Latin).  Your postcard should have a paragraph of text written on it.
