Description
Introducing Greek to GCSE: Part 1 Revised Edition for OCR GCSE Classical Greek, a comprehensive textbook designed to support students in their study of the ancient Greek language. Written by a long-time school teacher and examiner, this two-part course is based on experience of what pupils find difficult, concentrating on the essentials and on the understanding of principles in both accidence and syntax.
This edition has been revised to enhance the learning experience, with coloured artwork and text features providing visual support to the language study. Part 1 covers the basics, including the main declensions, a range of active tenses, and a vocabulary of 250 Greek words to be learned. Pupil confidence is built up by constant consolidation of the material covered, with stories from Aesop, Homer's Odyssey, and Alexander the Great providing an excellent introduction to Greek culture alongside the language study.
With its user-friendly approach and focus on understanding principles, this textbook aims to give pupils a firm foundation for further study. The revised edition is endorsed by OCR and has become a standard resource for students in the UK and for readers across the world.
