In addition to background and love for the Classics, shown through my BA from the University of Pittsburgh and a pending MA from King's College London, I also have qualifications in various areas of history (I double-majored for my BA), a field which works hand-in-hand with the Classics.

In school, often I'd prefer to teach myself to play the guitar rather than listen to a lecture on the crusades, or read Othello cover to cover rather than a dry, context-less except in a textbook.

When you can think about classroom material in terms of activities you'd pursue whether or not it...
