MS5040 Greek LA 6
The Greek 6 Language Arts program is for native speakers of the language who are fluent readers and relatively proficient writers. Emphasis is placed on writing on various topics, reviewing basic grammar, and studying selected topics of Modern Greek history and culture (from 1453 to present).
Students study a selection of literature related to modern Greek life, culture, and history: the Greek Revolution of 1821, WWI and WWII, traveling, family issues, lifestyles and war, and peace.
Students will experiment with a variety of writing activities such as descriptions, personal narratives, short stories, essays, and research projects, incorporating all stages of the writing process. Various methods of assessment are used, including tests and quizzes, daily assignments, essays, research projects on history-literature, and oral presentations. During the second semester, students will also have the opportunity to read the book Ο μεγάλος περίπατος του Πέτρου by Άλκη Ζέη.
Prerequisite: Successful completion of Grade 5 Greek Language (or 5th grade in the Greek School), teacher recommendation and/or placement test.
