Spelling, Words, and Reading

We finish about the English language (see yesterday).

Crowd sourcing examples? mPING, from Scientific American.

We watch this video....then look at the OED (The Hub Menu > Library > under Databases A-Z). Punk, anyone?

A word a day starting tomorrow....Choose a word, look it up in the OED. In the vocab. section of your daybook write:
1. the word
2. its oldest meaning
3. one quote from the OED's list, and the year of the quote
4. the most common modern meaning of this word


We look into Chapter 2 of the text -- Reading in Academic Context.

Homework:

1. Read pages 10-15 and take notes in your daybook by writing down headings and a short summary of the information under each heading.
