Activity 2 - Introducing Greek and Latin Grammar Concepts
Goal: To give students the necessary information to understand how Greek and Latin are
structured on a basic level. Along with teaching the Greek alphabet, we found instructing the students in basic
grammar to be very beneficial. Our primary aim was to familiarize the students with the concepts
of inflected languages, word agreement, and loose word order. In consequence the students were
able to recognize the concepts when they encountered them in texts, preventing confusion.
