OVERVIEW OF THE WEEK OF August 25-29
We will continue our study of the English language by studying "Where New Words Come From"
Students will examine a number of different ways new words have entered and continue to enter our language.
We will use handouts and worksheets for these lessons. The unit will culminate with a mini-poster project illustrating seven different ways we get new words.
We will also continue reading Beowulf. This is a great little translation of the Old English poem. It's written just for our age group and most students love it.
