Marianne Daniels, Latin Teacher

mdaniels@odysseycharter.net
I am Marianne Daniels, the Latin teacher at Odyssey. I graduated from BYU
with a BA in Latin teaching and minor in History teaching in 2006. This
will be my second year at Odyssey.
I am an "Air Force brat" and have lived in Colorado (twice), the Philippine
Islands, Maryland, California, Texas, and Georgia. I have five brothers
and one sister.
When I was in sixth grade, I read Edith Hamilton's Mythology and
have been addicted to classical history and language ever since. My love
of grammar (really!) helped me discover and enjoy Latin. I have always had
an interest in teaching and I love to break down words to understand what
makes language.
I love to travel, particularly Savannah, Georgia and Italy (of course).
Actually, anywhere with really good museums makes the list. But my
absolute favorite thing to do is read a really good book, while eating
chocolate with almonds. My favorite books are Jane Eyre, Dracula,
and Mansfield Park (you can never go wrong with a Jane Austen novel!)
I look forward to teaching this year and to convey some of the love of
Latin that I have to my students, along with a healthy dose of Roman culture
and mythology.
