We shall be studying in detail the uses and functions of the dative case. We shall also examine the first and second aorist imperatives (active and middle). We shall be using Taylor's Greek to GCSE, starting from chapter 9. Reading will be combined with grammar instruction and grammatical exercises.
What will I achieve?
By the end of this course you should be able to...
- demonstrate knowledge of compound adjectives
- demonstrate knowledge of aorist imperative
- recognise and build some irregular comparatives and superlatives
- have some insight into the world of ancient Greece.
What level is the course and do I need any particular skills?
You should have attended Classical Greek 3 module 1, or have an equivalent knowledge (at least 2 years of study). As the course is taught in English, please read the outline carefully to decide if you may benefit from support with your English skills to help you take part fully in this class.
How will I be taught, and will there be any work outside the class?
The course consists of translation, grammar instructions and grammar exercises with a high level of student interaction (individual, pair and group work). Students are expected to do the homework regularly and participate in oral classroom activities. Homework will require approx. 1-2 hours per week.
