First Form Greek Teacher Manual

Product Description

Teacher Manual Sample

Based on the revolutionary First Form Latin series, First Form Greek is written for parents and teachers with or without a Greek background. Its goal is to present the grammar so logically and so systematically that anyone can learn it. At the same time, we have adapted the Latin First Form Series to account for the differences between Greek and Latin, such as the new alphabet, overlapping sounds, more variation within paradigms, and less regularity. First Form Greek overcomes these challenges with the addition of weekly vocabulary reviews, more frequent recitation, and an “expanded” dictionary entry for Greek verbs.

Recommended Prerequisites: At least two years of Latin grammar (ideally First and Second Form Latin) and the Greek Alphabet Book. However, students who are new to Greek may spend additional time in Lesson 1 and learn the Greek alphabet that way. Students who have completed these prerequisites (Second Form Latin and the Greek Alphabet Book) may begin First Form Greek as early as 6th grade.

The First Form Greek Teacher Manual is an everything-you-could-possibly-need manual. Organized for easy access, it contains Student Text inset with answers in color, day-by-day lesson plans, weekly recitation schedule, oral drills, optional parsing and analysis of the Greek sayings, and additional notes. For students who already know Latin, the Teacher Manual includes references to similar linguistic features in (the more regular) Latin.

After finishing First Form Greek, the student will have mastered:

• The six indicative active tenses of the omega verb
• Present tense of the to be verb
• Two noun declensions
• First & second declension adjectives
• Personal & demonstrative pronouns
• Approximately 130 vocabulary words
