Lesson Plan Options and Supports

• A Track or B Track?
  A Track placement requires that the student has already had training in one-paragraph essays as Essay Writing B, the course plan for the first part of Frode Jensen's Format Writing text, covers. If your student has not yet completed instruction in one-paragraph essay formats then it is best to use the B Track versions of all of the Greek Studies courses. B Track courses have fewer and adjusted writing assignments and lighter reading plans.
   
• Course Guides
  Course Guides offer daily lesson plans, assignment schedules, and expanded study tools to stimulate thought and discussion about key ideas in the readings for the semester's integrated courses.  Course Guides include the Greek Studies: Introduction & Appendix.
   
• Online Quizzes with Study Guide
  Access from August 1st until June 30th to automatically graded, online quizzes for the semester's courses AND a printed study guide to help prepare students for the online quizzes.  The online quizzes work with STAA Weekly Assignment Sheets (requires enrollment in St. Thomas Aquinas Academy's academic advisory, placement, and transcript program) and Course Guides.
   
• Advisor Grading of Key Assignments
  Evaluation and grading of the course's key writing assignments are available on a per course basis. Requires at least periodic internet access so student and/or teaching-parent may submit and retrieve assignments. All assignments must be submitted between August 1st and June 30th. Grading packages expire at midnight on June 30th.  Advisor Grading Packages work with STAA Weekly Assignment Sheets (requires enrollment in St. Thomas Aquinas Academy's academic advisory, placement, and transcript program) and Course Guides.

Greek Studies I and II, Course Guides

SEMESTER 1: Greek Studies I, A Track is an integrated plan including semester plans for Essay Writing A (training in five-paragraph essays), Old Testament Ia, Greek History Ia, Greek Literature Ia, and Astronomy Ia. If the student has not yet completed the first section of Frode Jensen’s Format Writing covering the various one-paragraph essay formats, then it is best to use Greek Studies I, B Track instead. A Track and B Track differ in the composition instruction, amount of writing required, and amount of reading required. Typically, B Track is appropriate for students in Grades 9 and 10 and A Track for students in Grades 11 and 12. Even though the assignments differ and there is some variation in the required reading, the readings in the tracks line up so families with multiple high school students can use B Track for the younger high school students and A Track for the older, or any combination thereof that is appropriate for the students’ reading and writing abilities.  Greek Studies I, B Track is an integrated plan including semester plans for Essay Writing B (training in one-paragraph essays), Old Testament Ib, Greek History Ib, Greek Literature Ib, and Astronomy Ib.

SEMESTER 2: Greek Studies II, A Track requires prior completion of Essay Writing A (training in writing five-paragraph essay formats). Greek Studies II, B Track should be used by student who have not yet completed Essay Writing A.  Greek Studies II, A Track is an integrated plan including semester plans for Logic A, Old Testament IIa, Greek History IIa, Greek Literature IIa, Astronomy IIa, and Greek Playwrights A.  Greek Studies II, B Track is an integrated plan including semester plans for Logic B, Old Testament IIb, Greek History IIb, Greek Literature IIb, Astronomy IIb, and Greek Playwrights B.

The courses in the Greek Studies I and II guides were designed to complement each other in time requirements, writing requirements, and with their intertwining content. Each course has a day-by-day lesson plan for two weeks of preparation and sixteen weeks of academics. Together, the guides offer a year-long plan for Composition/Logic, Religion, Social Studies, Literature, Science, and Fine Arts.
