Assignment for Friday, 09-09-16

Dear Intermediate Hellenists,

As noted in class, your assignment is to read and translate Groton's supplemental passage for Lesson 22, "A Happy Exchange." Unlike other assignments, there is nothing to turn in ahead of time; have it done by the time you come to class).

As you work through this passage, bear in mind the following:

(1) DO consult the accompanying vocabulary as well as Lesson 22 of our textbook.

(2) DO make little notes in the margins (notes on cases or tenses or other important points).

(3) DON'T write out a full translation of the passage (or DON'T bring it to class if you do), for reasons explained on the Policy page of our website.

(4) DON'T rush it, but DON'T despair if you don't finish (though DO try). Unlike other readings, I won't attach any points to this particular assignment. Rather, I want to use it as an in-class opportunity to illustrate how we can read together in a deeper, more nuanced way.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

DC
