It pays tribute to the characters who once lived and died in the ss on this prairie farm. The caboose is from another century. It is an antique. Its trap door opens only once every 20 years. It guards a great secret.
There are over geological Stages of Earth history spanning 4. Each novel takes them every 3 months from one Stage into another. The children must adapt and survive these alien environments. The Holocene is the first environment that takes the reader back 11, years. The next 4 sequels deal with the 4 known major Ice Ages going back 2 million years. The 1st novel introduces the real characters that once actually lived on those farms. Nothing is fictionalized except the story line.

The Level 2 course assumes that students have successfully completed Level 1 either last year or in the previous weeks: Level 2 consolidates and completes the coverage of basic Greek grammar and introduces students to Bzyantine Greek texts in different genres, such as historiography, liturgy and hagiography.
The course is normally taught in two groups, Level 2 Intermediate and Level 2. Assignment to Level 2 or Level 2. Guided by the members of our teaching team, who alternate between groups, students continue to revise and reinforce the material covered by the Level 1 course and learn the remaining basic morphology and syntax, including the future and perfect tenses, the subjunctive mood and rare optative.
They also analyse principles of sentence construction, the uses of conjunctions and particles, and the subtleties and complexities of the participial system. Most of all, however, students develop their ability to read Byzantine Greek texts through exposure to writing in various genres, and learn to appreciate differences in register and style. At Level 2, students encounter texts whose vocabulary, morphology and syntax are close to Classical Greek, but also literature which exhibits features of Modern Greek. They are taught the modern Greek pronunciation, which is closer to the pronunciation of Greek in the Byzantine period than the Erasmian pronunciation generally used in the teaching of Classical Greek.
For students unfamiliar with Modern Greek pronunciation there will be a practice session at the start of the course. At Level 2, students hone their skill in using a scholarly dictionary, and they are encouraged to bring their own copy of the Liddell and Scott Intermediate Greek-English Lexicon purchase copies and a limited number of borrowing copies will be available during the Summer School.

Guided by the members of our teaching team, who alternate between groups, students read extracts from a range of Greek texts. For the Level 3 course there is no pre-set programme of instruction. Its purpose is to introduce participants to a wide variety of literature in different styles, registers and genres, as well as to samples of Classical Greek, late Byzantine vernacular and Modern Greek.
On request, the course may also include introductory palaeography sessions, in which we transcribe and read facsimiles of manuscripts.
All applicants for Level 3 are invited to specify on their application form at least one text that they would like to study in the course. It may not be possible to honour all requests, but they will provide a guide to your interests and help us to plan the course. Sampled genres may include chronography and narrative history, oratory, liturgy and biblical texts, theology, hagiography, religious and secular poetry, official documents and letters.
Those who attended Level 3 in previous years can be assured that a different set of texts will be studied in the current year. Students at Level 3 will continue to practice reading Greek aloud in the modern Greek pronunciation, which is closer to the pronunciation of Greek in the Byzantine period than the Erasmian pronunciation generally used in the teaching of Classical Greek.
