I got the Latin text of the "Ratio atque institutio studiorum societatis Iesu" ('the system and plan of studies of the Society of Jesus' - a 1599 text detailing how Jesuits should set up universities) and pulled out headings from the different sections.
Then, I had the lawyer who's re-learning Latin sightread the 3-6 word phrases, asking him to identify what declensions the words definitely or potentially belonged to.
It was fun and he did a great job using all of his knowledge of the paradigms he's re-learned so far, and now he's hyped up and wants to read some actual sections from the text, once he's able to.
How fun! I'm def. earning my wages for this job.
