Welcome back to Greek! This semester we will continue
reading the story of Dikaiopolis and his family in fifth-century Athens
as we add to our treasure of Greek grammar and vocabulary. We will do a
lot of reading aloud, a lot of exercises, fun etymologies, and much translating.
We learn by doing! We shall finish ATHENAZE Book I (chapters 14-16), and
our goal is to complete Lesson 28 in Book II.
Textbook Requirements:
1. Balme/Lawall Athenaze: An Introduction To Ancient Greek Book
I, Second Edition;
2. Balme/Lawall Athenaze: An Introduction To Ancient Greek Book II,
Second Edition;
3. Liddell/Scott Greek-English Lexicon (Abridged).
Classroom procedure will stress student reading and comprehension.
We shall learn from ‘secret words,’
go over homework exercises, take short quizzes on grammar and vocabulary,
and read the text and study its grammar. It is essential that most students
spend at least two hours per class doing homework.
This semester we might not be able to read all of the text of each chapter
in class. We hope to build on the solid base established in the fall. Work
hard; manage your time well. You can do it!
Grades:
Grades are based on completion of homework assignments
(30%), class preparation (30%), secret word presentations (10%), and examinations
(30%).
Bad Weather Policy.
Your instructor will be here when the University
is open. If a student is prevented by weather from reaching class, the absence
will be excused, and the work will be made up without penalty.
