My goal this year is to teach the students to do something quite difficult. I want my students to compose Latin, i.e., to write poetry in Latin. Instead of translating the stories into English, they will be tasked with creating their own pieces in the original language. However, the students require a special dictionary that allows them to look up Latin words to provide the English meaning of words and has an extended portion that allows them to look up words in English and provide them with the Latin meanings. I have used this dictionary throughout my many years of studying the language and would like them to have access to this resource.
