Grade 5 Greek
A quarter of real stories, from Alexander carrying Greek to the ends of the earth and a runner gasping one word that was a whole sentence, to Paul reading an altar on Mars Hill and the opening line of John, each one opening a door into how Greek works: the article that badges every noun, the present tense that carries its own pronoun, the verb I AM, and who does what to whom.
