What do I Know? Some English roots are Greek and Latin. English and Spanish are very similar and so is Latin; if you look at a Latin sentence you will find similarities with English words. People came over from Britain and were the ones who won the land; they already spoke English. What did I learn? I learned every thing in my video. I also learned that there is NOT a lot of information on this topic on the internet. I didn't know what a linguist is. But is not that complicated just someone who is informed and knows about foreign languages. I also didn't know that there was an old English, and middle English. I thought there would just be blank English and modern English. | What do I Want to Know? My essential question. If this is an often asked subject, so will it be easy to find information on or will I have trouble finding information on my topic? Will there be a lot of information on trustworthy sights? What Action Did I Take? I made a video explaining what I learned, my sources and notes about how I found this information. I uploaded my video to Youtube. | How will I Learn the Information? I will learn what I can from my Caesars English book. I will also see what my dictionary has to offer. And finally I will use the internet and books. What Questions do I Still Have? I wonder why I could only find information on some websites because I found the things I wanted but on a limited amount of websites so I am wondering why. The information is out so why would it not on the web. I also am wondering if middle english changed by people just speaking less formal because we don't speak that formal. |
This was a hard but worth it project. There were not a lot of trustworthy websites that I found. But I did find some good sources that really helped. I think that they already got all the information they could because you can't learn a lot about of a dead language with barely any recorded records. I did enjoy this very much and think that this was a fun topic to learn about because I knew barely anything about topic; but really am interested in it. So over all this was a fun passion project.

I think it was very interesting to see how all of languages broke up. I didn't know that the english language had that much history. I think you might have been able to improve your project by giving some examples so people could understand exactly how the english language had changed into what it is today. I also think that you needed some commas in some places. Overall I think you did a very good job on this project and helped your viewers learn a lot.

Rachel this project was so cool! I loved how you started your video. It was so cool! The rest of the video was so informational and you made boring, interesting! The one thing that I would do is make your reflection a bit more longer and explain more about your project. Otherwise, this is a great project that you rocked!
