Nora MacDonald, a Latin teacher at Roosevelt High School familiar to many CAPN
members, reports that she has put her recent CAPN Scholarship to good use.
This past summer she took Italian conversation at the University of Washington
Experimental College. She has also taken two courses for credit to allow her
to develop travel study curricula for the student trips she conducts to Italy
and Greece. In addition, she is in the process of developing a working
vocabulary for Ecce Romani I and II, the two new textbooks she adopted
for use in the '95-'96 school year.
