Example:
- Ego in agro laborabam et vidit puerum ducentem boves (I was working in the field and saw a boy leading cows)
- Ego feci lyram e corpore testudinis (I made a lyre from the body of a turtle)
- Mercurius meas boves cepit (Mercury stole my cows)
- Ego duxi quinquaginta boves retro ad mare (I led 50 cows backwards to the sea)
- Meus filius vigilabat, sed ego dormiebam (My son was awake, but I was sleeping).
- Ego super montes currebam (I was running over the mountains)
- This was a great practice of having students hear the use of the 1st-person. Although the story was primarily written in the 3rd-person, students did not have any problems hearing the 1st person and recognizing which character would say the statement.
- Students were very familiar with the story, so to hear sentences about characters now in the 1st person was not tricky.
- This activity involved higher-order thinking as students had to determine who would say the statement.
- This was a very easy activity to facilitate!
- I suppose one could change this to 2nd person and implement it that way too.
