With the test behind us, the class went over the historical figures they had looked up for homework: Arminius/Hermann, Segestes, and Publius Quinctillius Varus, two rival Germanic tribal chieftans and the Roman governor of Germania, respectively.
We discussed the background of each and how they interacted with one another in order to prepare us for next week's activity. As has become tradition, one of our two culminating activities for the year is a short play, "Die Nacht vor der Schlacht" or "'Twas the Night Before Teutoburg." We will practice, and film, the play next week.
Each student is requested to bring either:
- Furs or furry looking cape-like objects, including furry bathrobes
- White sheets for togas
- Plastic food
- Plastic medieval weaponry
Once filmed, the skit will be posted here online.
Viel Glück und viel Spaß!
