Why is English So Hard to Spell?

Why is English so hard to spell?

I hand out a sheet. Read it over and complete anything on it you can.

Here is the link to today's lecture on "Why Is English So Hard to Spell?

This is called a Prezi, an alternative to powerpoints. Fill your handout in as we go. After class I'm hoping you'll open this up and look at the stuff I skipped over.

Tuck the handout in your daybook for the next daybook check (this Friday).


Homework:

1. Draft #2 Kickstarter on Paper is due tomorrow, Tuesday.

2. TWFTD: punk

3. If the history of English interests you, watch this video, a "lighthearted" (not safe for school) history of English in 10 minutes.
