CLCV 208 - Classical Literatures & Beyond: Sappho in the Western Literary Imagination
SUMMER SCHOOL
For 125 years Wellesley College has been providing undergraduates with
one of the finest liberal arts educations in the world. In 2009,
Wellesley College Summer School will once again open its doors for the
tenth year, and you have the opportunity to become a part of a
distinguished tradition of engaged learning and vibrant community.
Our Summer School is a co-educational program, featuring full credit
courses drawn from the regular Wellesley curriculum. It is open to all
college students, college graduates as well as eligible commuting high
school juniors and seniors. Wellesley College Summer School combines
academic excellence with a spectacular campus, state-of-the-art
facilities and a convenient location close to Boston.
COURSE
Who was Sappho? Woman. Poet. “The original lesbian.” And what is the
connection among these three identities? The fragments of her poetry
reveal a captivating, personal voice. Is this a window onto ancient
Greece, or literary deceit? This course addresses such questions as we
read the fragmentary remains of Sappho's poetry and discover what these
poems, this woman, meant to later writers. We will study the phenomena
of allusion, intertextuality and influence as we explore the reception
of Sappho in the literary imagination of poets and artists over two
millennia. Distribution: Language and Literature
Credit: 1.0 (4 sem. hrs.)
Course Fee: $2000
Lectures: M, T, TH 1:20 - 4:00 p.m. (22 June - 17 July 2009)

Beginning Koine Greek: "Introduction to Parables"
Intermediate Koine Greek: "More Parables, Papyri, and Aesop's Fables"
The Biblical Language Center (BLC) offers a 4 week introduction course and a 2 week intermediate course for Koine Greek.
BLC immersion courses use living language methods in teaching Koine Greek. This means that more than 90% of classroom time is filled with the spoken language of Koine Greek. Also, BLC courses implement "Total Physical Response" (TPR) where students respond to commands that require physical movement. The result is an internalization of the languages which speeds the pace of learning and improves reading skills.
The beginning course is centered around parables from the Gospels and supplemented with texts from papyri, Shepherd of Hermas, Septuagint, and the New Testament. The intermediate course is based on selected parables, papyri, and Aesop’s
fables, with supplementary readings from other first century authors like Josephus, Epictetus, and Plutarch.

The study tour is designed for those who have a serious
interest in learning about Greek culture, literature, language,
history, art, archaeology, and topography. Many Classical Studies
majors enroll in this program, which offers courses towards their
graduation requirements in that area. Other students are European
Studies majors, who can get credit towards their degrees from the
program. Students of History often take these classes and count them
towards their History major, with the pre-approval of an academic
advisor. Students from the Colleges of Engineering and Business go on
this trip, as do members of the Community, retired people, and emeritus
professors. Participant ages have ranged from 19 to 75.

Summer Schedule:
Thurs., June 12 - 3:00 p.m. EST (2 p.m. CST): “Using Roman History to Learn Latin Reading Skills”, Rose Williams, Emerita Latin Teacher
There is never enough room in a high school or beginning college Latin class for everything we would like to teach. Some things are so important, however, that we need to make a bit of room for them. Roman history is one of these. Teaching a language is most successful when it encompasses, as much as possible, the culture of the people who created it. Language does not exist in a vacuum. Any language is impacted by where its people lived, what happened to them, and the ideas which they had to express for their survival and growth or which they considered important. The webinar includes several readings from Roman history that are used to illustrate Latin grammar.
Wed., June 18 - 2:00 p.m. EST (1 p.m. CST): “Teaching Catullus: Pedagogical and Scholarly Perspectives”, Ronnie Ancona, Hunter College, City University of New York
The Catullus webinar will address major features of the teaching of Catullus at both the secondary school and college levels, including Advanced Placement. Topics to be covered include: how to teach Catullus across all curricular levels from first year Latin through advanced college level Latin and recent scholarly perspectives on Catullus and how to incorporate them into the classroom. Close reading of a few selected poems of Catullus will be used to demonstrate issues of Catullan vocabulary, style, and theme.
Wed., June 25 - 3:00 p.m. EST (2 p.m. CST): “Roman Art and Archaeology for Latin Teachers,” Jayni Reinhard, Arizona State University
The archaeological record provides much of the Latin that becomes part of the texts we read in Latin class. We will take a look at the art and archaeology pertaining to the major sources of Latin texts, including: theatres, architectural inscriptions, wall paintings, and graffiti. High school and college students need to know that the Latin language did not exist in a vacuum; this survey of everyday Roman material remain will provide Latin teachers with a good introduction to archaeology in support of teaching Latin.
Thurs., July 3 - 2:00 p.m. EST (1 p.m. CST): “Teaching Horace: Pedagogical and Scholarly Perspectives,” Ronnie Ancona, Hunter College, City University of New York
The Horace webinar will address major features of the teaching of Horace at both the secondary school and college levels, including Advanced Placement. Topics to be covered include: how to teach Horace at different curricular levels and recent scholarly perspectives on Horace and how to incorporate them into the classroom. Close reading of selected poems of Horace will be used to demonstrate typically Horatian features. Horace: a Legamus Transitional Reader, A Horace Workbook, and Horace: Selected Odes and Satire 1.9 will be discussed as resources for the classroom.
Thurs., July 10 - 3:00 p.m. EST (2 p.m. CST): “How to Teach Lucretius,” Bonnie Catto, Assumption College
There are few ancient authors as compelling as Lucretius: scientist, poet, philosopher, and passionate observer of nature. While Caesar, Cicero and Vergil have long vied for first place in the classical curriculum, Lucretius' treatment of universal human matters rightfully earns him a place in their company. Informed by the latest in Lucretian scholarship, Catto focuses on excerpts from De Rerum Natura. and discusses college-level linguistic and intellectual aids for translating and comprehending this difficult but magnificent Roman poet.
Tues., July 15 - 3:00 p.m. EST (2 p.m. CST): “Learning Latin Grammar via Speaking Aloud in Class,” Anna Andresian, Sage Ridge School
Oral reinforcement of grammatical material is a valuable teaching tool and Andresian’s presentation will focus on specific techniques for incorporating oral exercises into the Latin classroom. In particular, Andresian will discuss oral methods to accomplish the following: 1) identify and manipulate new grammatical material in a Latin passage; 2) discuss pictures that target a particular grammatical concept; 3) practice geography and the structure of prepositional phrases; 4) solidify the student’s understanding of relative pronoun agreement; 5) teach students the forms and usage of hic and ille by using demonstratives to discuss objects and people in the classroom.
Thurs., July 17 - 3:00 p.m. EST (2 p.m. CST): “Transitioning into Vergil,” LeaAnn Osburn, Emerita Latin Teacher
Osburn discusses selections from the Aeneid with a focus on helping students move from elementary or intermediate Latin into reading the authentic Latin of Vergil. Osburn discusses pre-reading materials, grammatical exercises, vocabulary, notes designed for and reading comprehension.
Thurs., July 24 - 3:00 p.m. EST (2 p.m. CST): “Teaching Latin Pronouns through Mythology,” Rose Williams, Emerita Latin Teacher
A brief overview of Greco-Roman mythology, which can be used as an outline for the overall study, will be supplied. Various materials to be woven into one's individual lesson plans will be offered. Teachers may submit questions and suggestions, and will be asked to submit ideas for using these materials in their respective teaching situations after the seminar.
Mon., August 4 - 2:00 p.m. EST (1:00 p.m. CST): “Classical Mythology & More and the Medusa Mythology Exam,” Marianthe Colakis, Townsend Harris High School
This webinar aims to generate discussion among teachers on preparing students for national examinations in mythology and the ways in which Classical Mythology & More can help. We will discuss the features of the book that make it useful for students of mythology. It paraphrases the original sources as much as possible, keeping editorial comment and embellishment to a minimum. It offers short answer exercises for self-testing recall of names and events, and more thought-provoking questions to encourage deeper reflection. We will also discuss the purpose of studying myths in secondary school and consider the ways they can still tell us about ourselves.
Thurs., August 14 - 2:00 p.m. EST (1:00 p.m. CST): “Learning to Read Ovid,” Caroline Perkins, Marshall College
The Ovid webinar will cover the teaching of Ovid at both the secondary school and college levels, including Advanced Placement. One issue of particular emphasis will be how to enable the student to make a successful transition from the learning of grammar to the reading of Latin literature. For this topic we will be using the “pre-reading” approach, defined by Jennifer Rea in CPL online, which “presents the key concepts within a text and provides a context and background information for the literature that students are about to read.” We also will focus on how to teach students of varying levels of preparation in the same classroom. Select passages from the Metamorphoses will be used to exemplify these and other pedagogical issues. The webinar will begin with a brief introduction on Ovid and his works and will include recent bibliography with suggestions on how to incorporate it into the classroom.
Cost:
$99.00 per webinar.
Take any three for $249.00.
Summer subscription (all 10 webinars) for $699.00.
More webinars will be offered in Fall 2008 by LeaAnn Osburn, Helena Dettmer, Robert Sonkowsky, and more!

The University of Florida offers the opportunity for students to acquire a full year of ancient Greek in a single summer. After completion of GRE 1130 and 1131 will be prepared to read ancient Greek texts such as Plato, Homer, and the New Testament. Because the summer courses are small (usually 10-15), students have the opportunity to work one-on-one with UF's experienced Ancient Greek teaching team.

Intermediate courses: June 23rd through August 1st.
All classes are intensive and meet five days per week, morning and afternoon. Participation takes a full-time commitment on the part of faculty and students alike. We strongly recommend that students find housing in Hyde Park (the neighborhood in which the University is located) for the duration of their summer program.
The beginning courses spend at least the last four weeks on original texts; the intermediate courses focus on prose and include intensive grammar review, including prose composition.
First-year Greek students, especially: please bring a laptop along, if you have one, preferably equipped with wireless internet. LEARN the alphabet before you come, please.
Two-thirds of our classes are faculty-taught.
This summer, faculty include:

Mental and physical health note: Both for-credit and audit participants will gain full access to facilities such as the Regenstein library and the brand-new gym, with Olympic-size pool.
Financial health note: If you do not require academic credit, but 'just' want to learn Greek or Latin, consider the auditing option offered on the Graham School website. This is a substantial savings, and faculty will not treat auditors any differently from for-credit participants. NOTE: 2008 may be the last year in which an audit option is available.
