Comprehensible Input for Latin Part 1: Todally Comprehensible Latin

No, Todally is not a typo.  Keith Toda created this website to introduce Latinists to comprehensible input with speaking Latin. He outlines his methods of teaching in a way that is insightful and easy to understand.  Most importantly for those of us who wish to try using comprehension input (and total physical response storytelling), he includes a list of stories in his story library to get you started.  He also goes through some ideas for activities using comprehensible input.  Since second language acquisition demonstrates that giving students comprehensible input is a very effective tool for language teaching, I will be trying to incorporate some of these stories and activities into my own lessons in the future.
