Looking for ways to use Caput Mundi in your classroom? Here are some activities, discussion questions, and other resources to get you started.
Classroom Project
One 5th grade teacher, Ms. Ostertag, used Caput Mundi as a classroom project and asked her students to create one-pagers about the story. A big shoutout to Ms. Ostertag for bringing Caput Mundi into her classroom and to her students for sharing their amazing work! Take a look at what they came up with:
"The stench, the bugs, the ash..it had all become a part of his world."
Here are some quotes from her students:
- "Using enarii in Caput Mundi is similar to people drawing in our world, in that we get to express our thoughts outside of us."
- "Creative! Fictional! Action Packed! SuspensFull!"
- "You are not what you're called, but what you answer to."
- "The Doubleyes and electus are similar to politicians and criminals today."
- "Development → Destruction and pollution." and "Hope, in small things."
