That is a great way to check comprehension too.

I have *just* had a similar experience--having students become totally engaged in a dictation, and speculating what will happen next with a story that was accidentally compelling. The way I had mine do theirs was to read the Latin, show them the Latin, they correct and ask questions about words/forms until they fully understand... then they have to draw a picture illustrating the sentence. If a sentence seemed especially tricky, or they seemed confused, I got someone to translate it orally. So far, this activity seems to work really well with my kiddos as long as I don't overuse it! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02674006007853362675noreply@blogger.com
