Scope and sequence · Languages
Grade 7 Greek
A quarter of reading real Greek: the student chants the first line of Homer the way the traveling singers did, meets the third declension that carries half the language, asks Socrates' questions with the Greek question mark, marches with the Ten Thousand to learn the aorist, and finishes by performing a real Aesop fable in Greek and reading the opening of the Shepherd Psalm in the Greek of the Septuagint.
