Lesson 10 | Odds & Ends, Part 2
Assignment: Build a Habit
Begin to build a habit by reading and translating Mark 1:1–11, one verse per day over the next eleven days.
Preparation: Create a new project and add a phrase and diagram to it, each loaded with the Greek text ("Heb+Grk") of Mark 1.
Use the following daily routine with each verse. Do not do more than one verse per day and then take several days off. If you miss one or two days, that’s okay—keep going. The goal is to build a consistent habit.
Identify the next verse in the passage—verse 1 on day 1, verse 2 on day 2, etc.
Read the verse aloud. (Do not stop to look up words or parsings you do not know.)
Read it again silently, noting any vocabulary or parsings you do not recognize.
Add this verse to your phrase, diagram, and translation. (Use a single Notes tab for all your verse translations.)
Read aloud the entire passage up through that day’s verse.
To get shareable links, open up the module options by clicking the passage reference, then the Share button, and finally click “Copy link.” You will need to do this three times: once for your diagram, once for your phrase, and once for the Notes tab with your translation.
After finishing the eleven-day assignment, paste in THREE SHAREABLE LINKS: phrase, diagram, and translation.
Log in / create an account to enroll or continue where you left off.
Note: We had you load all of Mark 1, not just verses 1–11. The purpose of doing that was to encourage you to keep going in this habit beyond the assignment.
Warning: You will notice that we have not included a “Helps” section for this assignment. We decided to leave this out so as to further prepare you for beyond this course. The key is to not get stuck. Try to figure out how to handle the difficult word or phrase by asking a friend who knows Greek better or consulting a Greek grammar. If that does not work, just do what you can and move forward.
