Γεια σας! Despite initial hopes of returning to face-to-face learning this week,
following guidance from the Victorian Department of Education we will be
continuing with online lessons for the rest of the term.
VCE
This week we are continuing with our topic on the environment. We will be mainly
working from the VSL distance material again. We are working towards our next
SAC, which will be about synthesising information from three or more texts and
writing a high-level piece of work using these.
The first set of materials relevant to the environment is workset
12, the second is workset
14, which I will refer to in your
tasks below. Please disregard comments in the worksets about SACs.
- Listening Comprehension Complete the listening comprehension exercises 1
and 2 in workset 12. You will need these two audio files: exercise
1, exercise
2.
- Discussion: Environmental posters Look at the posters on pages 2 and 3 of
workset 14, write down some responses to the relevant questions, we will
discuss these in class. Can you come up with a rhyming slogan communicating
the message of the three posters in exercise 2?
- Discussion: The myth of King Midas Watch
this children’s version of the myth, and
this one meant for an older audience. In what
ways are they similar/different? Why might this be the case? Write down some
points in Greek (at least four), we will discuss these in class.
- Writing task: Plastic pollution Watch this
video on plastic pollution. The video is in
English, but enabling Greek subtitles will help with vocabulary. Write a few
paragraphs (approx. 150 - 200 words) in Greek about the analogy made between
the mythical figure Midas (Μίδας) and plastic use. We will discuss this in
class.
- Written response Complete exercise 3 in Workset 14, read the essay and
answer the questions in Greek.
- Grammar This topic contains many difficult neuter noun declensions. Study
these on page 13 of workset 14 and complete exercise 7.
- Submit your work for steps 4 and 5 at this
link.
Years 9 and 10
Today I want to do a small unit on cooking and recipes. We will be working
mainly from chapter 13 in the GCSE I textbook and workbook.
- Reading Read the text on the first page of chapter 13 in the textbook: η συνταγή της
γιαγιάς. Answer the questions in box A on the next page.
- Listening Comprehension Complete the listening comprehension exercise ΣΤ
in the workbook. You will need this audio
file. Feel free to pause it and listen to it
as many times as you need.
- Reading Comprehension Complete exercise 7 in distance workset
13. Despite the instructions, I would
like you to read the dialogue and answer the questions in English.
- Grammar: genitive singular Use the notes from class to complete exercise
Z in the workbook chapter. You need to fill in the gaps with the correct
genitive form of the noun.
- Writing Complete exercise H in the workbook chapter. A friend is asking
you for a recipe of a traditional Greek dish. In about 70-100 words write out
the recipe in Greek, modelling your piece of writing on the text you read in
step 1. Include the name of the dish, the ingredients (υλικά) and your method
(εκτέλεση). If you are stuck for ideas, you will find plenty
here.
- Submit your work for the above steps at this
link before next week.
