Cambridge Teaching Resources
I have taught a wide variety of classical subjects to both university students and school pupils, focusing on Greek and Latin Languages and Literature. Below you can find assignments and resources from my years teaching at Cambridge. I have kept them available here in case they are of use to anybody. The documents are stored in Microsoft OneDrive; if you have any difficulties accessing them, please let me know. Assignments for my Oxford students can be found on my private Canvas page.

- Hellenistic Poetry's Influence on Latin Literature: While still completing my Master's course at Oxford in 2014, I was invited to produce a series of six lectures for school children on the subject of Hellenistic Poetry's influence on Latin literature. The lectures are primarily intended for those studying Latin at AS or A2 level (ages 16-18), and the videos are a little rough and ready. But I'm sharing them publicly here in case they're still useful to any students. The topics covered include: (1) What does Hellenistic mean?, (2) Literary Ideals, (3) Mixing Genres, (4) Alexandrian Scholarship, (5) Book Poetry and (6) Allusion and Intertextuality.
