Dear section 1 students,

First I wish to apologise for not having been able to come today as I´m ill. We will discuss how to recuperate these classes on Friday.
Also, section 2 students were expecting me to leave a photocopy of a chapter of the book The Stories of English by David Crystal at the photocopying centre in Agustinas. I´m sorry, but I was meaning to leave it today. Never mind, we will have to do without it. The idea on Friday anyway is that we work on building a Medieval timeline that not only shows the history of England but also how language has evolved. Use your own skills, you´ve got many!!
On Friday, I will also give you the marks of your presentations. As a general comment I have to say that your presentations were really good. The way you approached each of the topics was extremely interesting. Well done!
See you on Friday.
Claudia

What are the differences between old and Middle English?

Try and figure out what the text is about.

How many words from Latin origin do you find?

Now watch the next video
