Let's learn about how our language has taken form by reading:
pp. 63-66 in the purple textbook & Bill Bryson's The Mother Tongue (excerpt).
Following this exercise, learn more about colloquialism and dialect by reading and then discussing "Say What?" by Bill Bryson.
FRIDAY'S CLASS PERIOD: During our short class on Friday, there will be time to discuss "Say What?" by Bill Bryson using the questions at the end of the selection (3 questions about "ideas and issues" and 3 questions about "writing strategies").
If you will not be in class for any reason, please answer these questions on paper for homework and submit them to the class inbox on Monday.
