Assignment for Monday, 02-08-16

Dear Elementary Hellenists,

For Monday morning, February 8, please do the following:

(1) Vocabulary set-up:

• Review the Vocabulary guidelines on our Policies page. Note any questions along the way.
• On Quizlet either (a) create a new profile or (b) adjust your current profile. Either way, your username should resemble your real name. I can't give you credit if I can't .recognize you.
• Send me a request on Quizlet to join our class (if you haven;t already done so)
  
• Watch the Using Quizlet video, if necessary, to make sure you understand how to navigate around and to generate properly formatted vocabulary tests. (NOTE: The video was made for my Elementary Latin class, and Quizlet has changed a little since then, but the overall principles are exactly the same.)

(2) Reading A: Groton, Lesson 3, on infinitives and imperatives (#21–24, pp. 17–19). Note any questions along the way.

(3) Homework (due by 8:00 a.m.):

• Translate the English-to-Greek exercises (#25, p. 20) with proper accents and breathings.

(4) Reading B: Groton, Lesson 4, on nouns and case endings (#26–28, pp. 21–23). Again, note any questions along the way.

Dear Elementary Hellenists,

Your first vocabulary assignments of the term, due during Week 3, are as follows:

• ΑΩ 4: Vocabulary

(2) By 11:00 p.m. on Saturday,  February 13, please complete a Test exercise for each of the above sets (three tests total). As noted on our Policies page and in the Using Quizlet video, each test should have the appropriate format:

• The question limit must be equal to the number of vocabulary items/flashcards (that is, 24 questions if 24 items; Quizlet defaults to 20 questions or less, so be prepared to adjust the total as needed).
  
• Only written questions are allowed, not other kinds (no matching, no multiple choice, no true/false — uncheck those boxes in the right-hand menu).
  
• Only English to Greek questions are allowed (check the "Start with: English" button).
  
• You may take a test as many times as you wish in order to maximize your score. Breathings and accents count, but not macrons.
  
• When you have completed a text, use the "Print test" button at the top of the page to make a PDF of your results; send me all three PDFs by email before 11:00 p.m.

Quizlet will keep track of your progress as you complete these assignments. NOTE: Be sure to complete each exercise in full, or Quizlet will only give you partial credit.

Good luck, and let me know if you have any questions.

Getting ready for vocabulary

Dear Elementary Hellenists,

It's time to start incorporating weekly vocabulary exercises into our routine. Here's how we're going to do this.

(1) On Thursday, February 4, I'll review the Vocabulary section of our Policies page, and briefly introduce Quizlet (briefly, because many of you have used it before, either at Skidmore or in high school).

(2) As part of the homework on Monday, I'll ask you to review the Policies page, watch the Using Quizlet video (if necessary), and set up a Quizlet account. I'll be more specific about these steps in my blog post for Monday's assignment.

(3) The first vocabulary assignments will be due next Wednesday, February 10, and next Saturday, February 13. I'll say more about these assignments in my next post. The main point is, these Wednesday/Saturday assignments will be part of our standard operating procedure next week and every week in which we aren't on break or don't have an exam.

Stay tuned,

DC
