"English Lesson"

Watch the short video- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JugPgA_biV4

If you have to watch it on your phone or another device on youtube.com it's called "Why do Americans insist on calling it aluminum"

This will be a section on the test later this month, as is most of what we do in class.

The class discussed how our "American" language has evolved from English.  Be prepared to be able to do the following on the Western Europe Test:

• List words that are spelled differently by the English

• List words that are pronounced differently by the English

• List words that are spelled and pronounced the same, but have different meanings.

Student Learning Objective- Students will compare and contrast the English language with the American language.
