From Zero to Greek
From Zero to Greek
Below are the components of the packet of materials distributed at the Pre-Institute Workshop at the 61st Annual Institute of the American Classical League in Durham, NH, June 26-27, 2008. This workshop neither expected or required any knowledge (or recollection) of Greek. The materials are to help teachers who want to introduce Greek to their program or school. It is arranged around the syllabus for the "Introduction to Greek" level of the National Greek Exam, a syllabus designed specifically for teachers and students starting Greek but who do not have a full class to commit to the language.
From Zero to Greek: An Introduction to the Language for Everyone: the basic packet
From Zero to Greek: Writing the Alphabet and Exercises: Power Point slides showing how to write, say, and transliterate the alphabet, along with exercises and answer key.
