GK 103-104 Beginning Greek I and II SYLLABUS 2010-2011 E. M. Macierowski, Ph.D. Benedictine College Atchison, KS 1. Department: Classical and Modern Languages GK 103 meets MWF 10-10:50 a.m. in STB 402 and lab session T 8:00-9:15 a.m. in STB 403--4 credit hours 4 credit hours. GK 103, 198 (4,4) Catalogue course description: “Intensive study, with copious exercises of the conjugations, declensions, vocabulary, and grammar of classical Greek occupy the first semester. The second semester places emphasis on translating continuous prose.” NOTICE: Since academic year 2008-2009, the course has been restructured to begin reading simple Greek prose immediately and to add grammatical information step-wise over both semesters, gradually moving to adapted classical Greek by lesson 20 and into real classical Greek by the end of the book in lesson 30. Students of this course, though not obliged to so are welcome to join the Plato Reading Group, meeting monthly to re-enact and discuss the Platonic corpus in English translation; we intend to read and discuss the whole Platonic corpus over a five year period starting July 2010 and centering on the founding of Plato’s Academy some 2400 years ago this coming 2013. The Group has begun with Book I of Plato’s Laws, the longest of the dialogues; Thomas Pangle’s translation is recommended, but not required. We bring a pot-luck contribution for lunch and intend to meet once a month sometime between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. on postal holidays or Sundays, details to be announced. 2. The objectives of the course. 2.1 To develop students' skill at reading ancient Greek literature with some degree of appreciation (essential); 2.2 To improve students' powers of thought and expression by accurate translations orally and in writing (essential); 2.3 To introduce them to factual knowledge about Greek life, philosophy and political institutions, and to assist them in evaluating the Classical contribution to the development of Western Civilization (important); To help them gain a broader understanding and appreciation of ancient Greek culture (important). The teaching methods to be used: (a) lecture and modeling (e.g., How do I write the letters of the Greek alphabet?); (b) assigned readings distributed in 16 lessons in the first semester, and another 14 in the second; (c) written and oral drill in forms and grammatical structures; (d) Greek to English translation exercises; (e) English to Greek translation exercises; (f) the vocabulary, forms, and grammatical rules are reduced to the absolute minimum, which must be memorized. The Nine Standards for Kansas High School Foreign Language Teachers: Kansas High School Accreditation and Teacher Certification (from http://www.ksde.org/cert/standards9-01.pdf ). In the absence of state standards for teachers of classical languages, the following may be useful for informational purposes: Standard #1 The teacher of a foreign language has knowledge in specific areas related to the target language, its literature, and its culture appropriate to the developmental needs and interests of students. Standard #2 The teacher of a foreign language is proficient in the foreign language. Standard #3 The teacher of a foreign language demonstrates an understanding of second-language acquisition and its relation to first-language development including the history of second-language education in the United States. Standard #4 The teacher of a foreign language understands how individuals learn and develop and provides foreign learning opportunities that support personal development. Standard #5 The teacher of a foreign language demonstrates knowledge of second-language instructional methods, resources, and classroom management techniques conducive to critical and creative thinking. Standard #6 The teacher of a foreign language motivates both individuals and groups to create a target language learning environment that encourages positive social interaction, active engagement in learning and self-motivation. Standard #7 The teacher of a foreign language models a variety of effective communication and instructional techniques to address the diverse needs of students. Standard #8 The teacher of a foreign language integrates knowledge of and encourages interactions with the local cultures and the general school curriculum through a foreign language. Standard #9 The teacher of a foreign language fosters collaborative relationships within the school system and community, particularly those that reflect diverse languages and cultures. An additional important resource. —The American Classical League (at http://www.aclclassics.org/) offers information about scholarships, teaching careers, classroom resources (with significant discounts for members), national competitive examinations, and the like. Their strength is in Homeric and Attic rather than New Testament Greek. 4. Attendance Policy An attendance sheet will be circulated for students to sign during each class. Any student who is absent more than six times may be withdrawn from the course by the instructor; a grade of "F" will be recorded if this occurs after the official withdrawal period. Absences for medical reasons will be excused with a note from a competent medical authority. Other requests must be in my planner with provision being made for make-up work; if it is not recorded in my planner it is not excused. The basic text or texts that will be used.

Use The 80/20 Rule: You will get 80% of your most important results from 20% of your effort; which efforts give you the best pay-off? Is it from the required vocabulary list or the glossed items? Is it from memorizing the declensions and conjugations or from recognizing them in context? Is it from memorizing the rules of syntax or being able to identify constructions in context? Set up a Grammar Notebook in a three-ring binder. Include a photocopy of your verb charts for future reference. Keep all your writing exercises and your ever-expanding tables of paradigms ready for review in your notebook. Be sure to read out loud all the vocabulary items, and check to make sure you know them both from Greek to English and also from English to Greek. Can you repeat them back aloud without first looking? Check your answers against the list. Once you have read aloud the vocabulary list at the head of the reading passage, turn to the reading assignment. Read the text slowly out loud at least twice. Does it make sense yet? You will notice that a few words are added that were not in your original vocabulary; these new words are glossed at the bottom of each paragraph. It will be worth highlighting these words, but only those in the vocabulary lists are absolutely required for quizzes and tests. Do NOT insert any English words in your book; instead, keep your preparation work in your separate Greek notebook. Highlighting will help to establish a mental association with the item you need to recall; putting an English gloss right over the word will short-circuit the “cooking time” needed to develop your memory of the item and will sabotage your effort to learn it. What counts is what is in your soul. To keep a record of your progress in Greek translation, you might consider a routine something like this: Read the assigned passage slowly and attentively aloud in Greek trying to catch the meaning. Does it make sense? If so, draft a translation of the first sentence in green ink. If not, look for any helps in the notes following the passage and try again. Continue in the same way till you have a draft of the whole passage. Re-read the Greek and your draft version. Are there any points you are not absolutely sure about? Mark them in green. If they have not been explained in class, ask about them specifically. Immediately after class (or at the earliest possible moment thereafter), review your translation and incorporate any additional notes or corrections in red ink and then read the original Greek aloud once more slowly. Can you repeat the original Greek sentence accurately without looking? If so, great; if not, don’t worry. Can you explain identify and explain every word in the passage? If so, great; if not, check the vocabulary and grammar again. Do you understand the sentence better now than you did originally? You should as soon as possible train yourself to perform these operations orally or mentally instead of in writing: you will be able to deliver many more responses in a minute orally than you can ever do in writing, and this is a great way to test your grasp of the material. Note: It is often better to use half a dozen 10-minute study sessions than to try to force it all into an hour. But be sure to begin your target list as early as possible, so as to allow time to identify weak spots, to master the key points and to review. At this stage it is a good idea to consider memorizing the vocabulary items in the chapter. First, notice the item (solitude, silence, and freedom from distraction help); then, fix it in your memory by relating or ordering it to some image or pattern (funny, bizarre, or other vivid associations being the most memorable); third, use the related images or patterns in an order so to retrieve the things you want to recall; fourth, review frequently. You will find it helpful to quiz yourself on vocabulary items. One method worth trying is to cut card stock into 2”x5” pieces and to copy the Greek vocabulary one item at a time onto one side of the card while quietly muttering the whole vocabulary entry. Then go through your deck and try to give the English gloss aloud; check your answer against the book and copy it down. Verify that you have written against what is in the textbook. Correct any errors immediately and repeat until you can produce the item accurately. If you got it right the first time, put it in a stack for small victories; if you had any trouble with it, put it in a separate stack for review. What is the maximum number of new vocabulary items you can accurately take in at one sitting? Psychologists report that rote memory seems to be able to handle seven items, plus or minus two. USE ALL OF YOUR SENSES TO GRASP THE INFORMATION: THIS EFFORT WILL MAXIMIZE YOUR ATTENTION. When you have done this with all the vocabulary items in the lesson, quiz yourself and your study partner. Check your command of the whole list both from Greek into English and from English into Greek. Note any mistakes or weaknesses; fix mistakes immediately. PRACTICE MAKES PERMANENT, SO PRACTICE RIGHT. Keep a target list or a few of your vocabulary cards with you for further review while waiting in line or other otherwise wasted moments. Once you have reviewed the new items, divide the stack into two: (1) items you have mastered, and (2) items that need to be reviewed again. With each new set of items, do the same. Each week check on the stack of items you think you have mastered; if you make any mistakes on an item, move it into priority stack 2 for review. Once you think an item is under control, put it in the stack of mastered items. You may look at the Greek to English sentences again; but again, be sure not to attempt to write anything down. At this stage you may begin to feel that you are beginning to get the “idea,” vaguely, perhaps. You might start making a mental “hit list” of questions about the sentence, especially focusing upon the main verb. Do the same thing for any tables of forms for verbs, for nouns, etc. This stage of memorization is particularly valuable: To test your command of the rules of formation and the memorization table, try to pick a few items from the vocabulary list and match them to the target pattern of formation, especially for words that occur in the first sentence that you wish to attack. Once you have drilled your new vocabulary item through all the forms in your grammar table, can you find which form or forms might be present in your problem sentence? Can you make a priority list of the items you needed to grasp in order to unlock the meaning of the sentence? The 2”x5” cards also allow plenty of room for six to ten verb forms to help memorize conjugations, and for the eight to ten noun forms to help master declensions. There are convenient storage boxes with drawers to hold your cards except for the ones you have with you to practice on. How can you adapt these suggestions using your computer or word processor? Now read the Greek sentence out loud slowly. If you are still unsure of the meaning, go down to the next item on your priority list of grammar rules or forms to be mastered. Do not skip steps too soon. First be sure you know where the steps are. If you think you understand the problem sentence now, write down a translation. If you have time, you might want to diagram the original Greek sentence and do the same with your English translation. Compare and contrast the grammatical structures of the two sentences. This exercise is especially useful for applying to the Greek sentences and English versions used to exemplify the rules of grammar. Such sentences are especially worthy of memorization. Note: It is often better to use half a dozen 10-minute memorization sessions than to try to force it all into an hour. But be sure to begin your target list as early as possible, so as to allow time to catch weak spots and to review. The secret to successful language learning is OVERLEARNING. Other things being equal, the person who does more drills accurately per hour will outperform those who do fewer. Study partners and class drill can help increase your time on task; but you must come prepared if you are to profit from such sessions. I have designed this course for average students of average abilities. It is my conviction that such students will profit most from practicing the study techniques suggested here. We can adjust workload to the optimally effective level as we advance through the course. I promise to provide all the help I can to anyone who needs it; in return, I expect an honest effort to prepare the assigned lessons and to contribute actively to the class as a whole. To be sure it is easier and more fun to learn among friends, but, once good habits are developed, they can often be exercised even in relative isolation. 7. The number of examinations during each semester: One comprehensive final. 8. Grade determination: On what will you base the grade for the course? Daily written exercises 60 % Exercises and verb chart assignments to follow up on our readings are extremely important. They will reinforce key vocabulary items, grammatical forms, and structural patterns of Greek sentences. Be ready to have these written assignments graded in class on the day on which they are mentioned in the syllabus. Be sure to leave enough space for corrections to be inserted. Try to get at least 80% of each exercise right on the first try; we can fine-tune the remaining 20% through in-class feed-back and private review. Corrected copies of these are to be kept in the required three-ring binder available for daily inspection at any time. Illegible items are to be marked wrong. There will not be time to provide proper feed-back if you miss class, even if the absence is excused. Be sure to check your work against that of a student whose work has been corrected in class; that is the responsibility of the student. Class clerks. 20 Each student will sign the day’s attendance roster. We shall grade homework exercises round-robin style in class, except for one designated student, whose exercises will be graded on the over-head projection screen. This student will serve as clerk for the day. The other students will correct the exercises of one of their colleagues following the professor’s over-head presentation as model; the clerk will record the grades for each exercise on the attendance roster and return each graded exercise set to its author and the class roster to the professor at the end of each class. If any item is illegible, it does not count. In a class of 20, each person should expect to serve as clerk about five times over the two semesters, and at least twice in the first semester; some experimentation may be needed. Final examination 20 A selection of texts from Athenaze will be offered for translation, with questions featuring key grammatical forms and constructions. Additional sight passages may be included, with glosses supplied for new words Students with learning disabilities or other special needs should meet with the professor during the first week of class to arrange appropriate accommodations. 9.

Focus your efforts on the key items specified in the syllabus. These are the most important items. Use all of your senses to channel the information: speak, listen, look, write, read. Test yourself immediately and also at the end of the day or early next morning. Make a hit-list of the things you have not completely mastered and review them as soon as possible. Students may consult The World Book Learning Library, vol. 3: +Memory Skills (Chicago, 1986) for a few tools applicable in this course. See also E.M.

Introduction ix The Alphabet and Greek Pronunciation Dikaiopolis Reading Let’s now model how to prepare for the class: To get the basic sense of the text, before each class, make sure you have highlighted in yellow the vocabulary occurring in the motto under the picture that starts each section. Then read the required vocabulary list aloud at home, checking to make sure you know the meanings both from Greek to English and the other way around. Then immediately read the story out loud in Greek a couple of times. Do you understand it yet? If not, use your vocabulary as a checklist in the reading; mark the first occurrence of any new vocabulary word you can find in the reading using yellow highlighter. Read the text again. How much do you understand now? Do you understand it all perfectly yet? If not, check the glossary of words under each paragraph of your reading. Mark the first occurrence of glossed words in green highlighter. Try reading the text once again. To get grammatical control: Then read the grammar section following the reading. Identify the targeted forms that occurred in the reading. Repetition is essential. It will normally take you about two hours (best divided into several smaller slices) to get reasonable control of this first stage of the reading. Some people may even want to memorize the whole reading. Each student is to use a three-ring binder for keeping grammar notes and all written assignments. Get a yellow highlighter and a green highlighter. Get a four-color ball-point pen. To start with, try using this preparation routine: (1) Read the vocabulary list at the head of the chapter aloud slowly once or twice. Check to see that you can give the Greek using the English and a cue, and vice versa. 109/54 R26AUG 2010 Dikaiopolis Reading 1α Verb Forms: Stems and Endings Nouns: Genders, Endings, Cases, and Agreement Labeling Functions of Words in Sentences Use of the Definite Article Accents The Athenian Farmer Do Exercise 1α N.B. "Do Exercise" means "Prepare it at home, write it up, and be ready to submit it in class on the day indicated in the syllabus for correction or collection. Be sure to put your name on each sheet." (2) Then, read the assigned reading passage aloud slowly once or twice, trying to understanding what it says; highlight in yellow the first occurrence of each new vocabulary word occurring in the reading passage; highlight in green the new words in the passage glossed at the foot of each paragraph. 108/53 F 27A Dikaiopolis Reading 1β Ho Kleros Classical Greek: Heraclitus New Testament Greek: Title of Luke's Gospel Do Exercises 1β.

PUT IN AT LEAST HALF AN HOUR OF GREEK EACH DAY WITHOUT FAIL, EVEN IF YOU HAVE NO CLASS COMING UP. IF YOU ARE NOT WORKING ON A NEW TEXT, JUST REVIEW YOUR TEXTBOOK; OTHERWISE, YOUR WORK WILL DECAY. If you attend Mass daily, you will be able to prepare the daily lectionary readings from the New Testament by using Goodrich, Richard J. and Albert L. Lukaszewski, A Reader's Greek New Testament, 2nd edition. Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan, 2007. ISBN-13:978-0-310-27378-3. This edition glosses all words occurring 30 times or fewer in footnotes; the appended Lexicon (pp. 567-574) defines those that appear more than 30 times in the Gk NT. In your first summer reading program, aim to acquire control over the vocabulary items that occur often enough to cover 80% of the words that occur in the Greek NT. You can then turn to one of the inductive approaches to New Testament Greek that focus upon a single text, like John’s Gospel or The Acts of the Apostles. Pick a realistically small project that you enjoy reading, maybe even one you think is worth committing to memory. 11. Appendix: Matrices for Tabulating Grammatical Forms.

It is standard procedure to memorize first by number, then across for each gender, then moving down for the next case, following the pointer arrowheads.)
