Tuesday I showed you the two overheads detailing the Indo-European Languages family tree, place the English language within the Germanic Family, and then showed you two other overheads with examples of Old English and Middle English. We returned to our Grammar books for lesson one and two on the English Language - Two was for homework.
We spent the rest of the period going over the Frye piece - and you handed your reading journals in.
Wednesday, we took up Lesson Two, which most of you hadn't done, and we worked on lesson Three, which is for homework. We quickly finished Frye (for the people who were absent on Tuesday), and discussed once again the expectations for what is coming in as part Two of the ISU. I distributed Gulliver's Travels and we read through the very funny letter from Mr. Gulliver to his cousin after briefly connecting the book to the history of fantasy fiction and satire.
