You want to give the students a small “going away” present, but you don’t want to spend much (if any)
money. Here’s an idea: bookmarks with Latin quotes. You copy them onto heavy paper (card stock
works well and will go through the copy machine) and then slice them into 4 marks per page. When you
hand them out, have the students translate them. They can also be given to administrators (publicity!)
and your department members (see what we can do!). You can use the template and make up your own
bookmarks, too (especially if your computer can convert PDF back into a Word type document). The
students can even decorate the back of the bookmarks, too.
