This is a guide to the set of activities and materials developed for the Breaking the Language Barrier
project. The purpose of these activities is to introduce non-language students to Greek and Latin and get
them to work directly with those languages. The materials here can be presented as they are, but are designed to
be worked into other class projects and activities; examples of assignments are provided in the activity
descriptions.
Preparatory Materials– These are lessons designed to introduce students to the basics of Greek and Latin.
Activity Materials– These are lessons based around students directly interacting with Greek and Latin texts.
Supplementary Materials– Materials to teach students how to use the Perseus Digital Library.
