• To realise the importance of Greek language for the modern spoken languages of Latin origin.
• To wake up to the word the richness of the Greek language and enrich their vocabulary.
• To discover, in the text which Zolotas pronounced in the frame of the yearly meetings of the World Bank, the connection between the Greek and English language.
• To get to know the use of electronic dictionaries and the e-tool eclipse.
• To work collectively in groups and present the results of this collaboration.
• To create activities of interaction with the Basque students based on their search on Greek language.

Description of the activities:

1^st and 2^nd didactic sessions.

-Introduction to the activity with the watching of an inclusive video in which the history of the Greek writing and language is presented. Discussion with the students and conclusions based on the content of the presentation.

-Reference to the Basque MEPs (Members of the European Parliament) who introduced an initiative to the European Commission to develop a program according to which Ancient Greek will be taught to all the grades of the Obligatory Education in all the countries-members, so that the Greek language will become the common language of the cultured Europeans.

-Discussion on this initiative and the thoughts it provoked.

-A presentation of Zolotas’ text which was pronounced in the 50s, in the frame of the meetings of the World Bank.

(You see the two speeches made by Zolotas below)

-The students express the impressions caused to them by the speech.

-The students are asked to spot a word from the text which made an impression on them, look up its meaning with the use of electronic dictionaries and record it.

3^rd and 4^th didactic sessions.

-The students learn how to create a crossword puzzle via eclipse tool in the ICT lab. They make two groups and making good use of the definitions of the entries they have recorded in the previous sessions, they create a crossword puzzle with the use of eclipse. The two teams swap the crosswords they have created and solve them. Then they present them to each other. 

You can learn some interesting facts about the history of the Greek language by studying the following Padlet we created.

Didactic Unit 2
