Texts and Materials: Balme & Lawall, Athenaze vol. II (2nd edn.Oxford 2003);

Selections from Herodotus (Barbour, ed.Oklahoma UP); you will also need your Greek Lexicon; standard text of New Testament recommended; additional readings and exercises online.

Objectives and Requirements:

The main objective in this course is to develop basic competence for reading continuous prose. To that end we will read extended passages from Herodotos, building upon the adapted material we covered in Athenaze (in 201). We begin with review, then finish up the grammar with the Perfect Active and additional constructions.

After 4 weeks we turn to the primary text full time, with occasional grammar refreshers (for which you can refer back to the online charts and synopses from 201) and change-of-pace with Luke.

Once again, try to master the reading passages for clear and accurate translation, but keep up your practice in pronunciation, reading aloud in Greek.

When we turn to continuous reading, you will not be allowed to use a prepared translation: keep and consult notes of new vocabulary, problematic grammar and phrasing, but be prepared to read the Greek that's there.

The course grade will be the average of 3 quizzes (50%), homework and in-class exercises (15%); and final exam (25); plus my record of day-to-day participation (10%).

See Policy on Academic Integrity, Make-ups, special needs and non-discrimination.

As always, thorough preparation and active participation day-by-day is absolutely essential.
