Filming Catullus

Catullus’ poems are so visual and many ready for performance.  In 1998 my 5th year AP students (remember when there was a 5th year AP?) filmed this version of Catullus 10.  We wandered around Providence, having fun filming, and eventually arrived in my attic!  We had so much fun with this, and I hope that it will inspire you to do the same with a poem or a story.
