    Abstract:
    In this paper I discuss a technique for incorporating prose composition into a first-year Latin course. This technique requires each student to create an original composition, in stages, over the course of a semester or a year. The goals of the exercise are to encourage beginning students to engage actively with the complexities of Latin grammar in an individual way and to develop an appreciation for the intersection of “form and function” in the language.
