Where Are Your Keys' Universal Speed Curriculum
Posted: February 18th, 2017, 9:05 am
I have seen the Where Are Your Keys teaching method mentioned here a few times and I am planning to use it for an upcoming class. The WAYK website has a great demonstration video and resources for implementing the game (https://whereareyourkeys.org/resources/). One of the resources is the Universal Speed Curriculum that I am using as a general guide for my class preparations. Please critique the phrases for accuracy and effectiveness in playing WAYK. I am going to lay them out in the order I plan to introduce them.
Notes:
In the following, Craig's List = CL, a list of words that go together.
I plan to indicate questions by intonation unless there is a better way to communicate that.
τί ἐστιν τοῦτο; [What is that?]
τοῦτο ἐστιν τὸ ποτήριον. [That is the cup.]
αὔτη ἐστιν ἡ ἐπιστολή. [That is the letter.]
οὗτος ἐστιν ὁ μικρός λίθος. [That is the small rock.]
οὗτος ἐστιν ὁ μέγας λίθος. [That is a big rock.]
CL Make Me Say Yes:
ναί, καλῶς, ἀληθός
τοῦτο ἐστιν τὸ ποτήριον; ναί, τοῦτο ἐστιν τὸ ποτήριον. [Is that the cup? Yes, that is the cup.]
repeat for other objects
CL Make Me Say No:
οὐχί, οὐ, μή, κακός
οὗτος ἐστιν ὁ μικρός λίθος; οὐχί, οὗτος οὐκ ἐστιν ὁ μικρός λίθος. τοῦτο ἐστιν τὸ ποτήριον. [Is that the small rock? No, that is not the small rock. That is the cup.]
repeat for other objects
οὗτος ἐστιν ὁ μικρός λίθος;
CL Whose (Poke/Slap)
ἐγώ μοῦ, σύ σοῦ, αὐτός αὐτοῦ, αὐτή αὐτῆς
τίνος τὸ ποτήριον ἐστιν; τοῦτο ἐστιν τὸ ποτήριον μοῦ. [Whose is the cup? This is my cup.]
repeat for other objects
CL Want/Have/Give/Take
θέλω, ἔχω, δίδομι, λαμβάνω
τίς θέλει τὸ ποτήριον μοῦ; σύ θέλεις τὸ ποτήριον μοῦ; ἐγώ δίδομι σοί τὸ ποτήριον μοῦ. [Who wants my cup? You want my cup? I give you my cup.]
τίς θέλει τήν ἐπιστολήν αὐτοῦ; ἐγώ θέλω τήν ἐπιστολήν αὐτοῦ. αὐτός δίδοσι μοί τήν ἐπιστολήν αὐτοῦ. [Who wants his letter? I want his letter. He gives me his letter.]
I am having a hard time both visualizing the transactions and being sure how to formulate the Greek for them. Any help would be most appreciated.
To be continued...
