•Writer’s Notebook: Friday we talked about how we each react to new learning challenges in different ways.Describe the habits of a person who is a successful learner. Which of these habits do you practice regularly?
Where did they come from?
• Directions:• Using the list of English words provided, identify
what language they originated from. Write the correct words in each column of the table.
The Formation of English
• Latin was spoken by Romans• Romans conquered most of
Europe• Latin spoken in different
areas of Europe developed into Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese.
• These languages are called “Sister Languages” because they all developed from the same language, Latin.
Word Invasion• In 1066, William the Conqueror invaded
England, and he spoke French, a language derived from Latin.
• Now approximately 60% of English words are borrowed from French
• Monks from Rome also brought Latin terms.
• During the 17th & 18th centuries, English was seen as imperfect and Latin was seen as perfect so to use Latin words in place of English was seen as a good practice
Professional Vocabulary
• Latin is used by doctors, attorneys, religious leaders, and other professions.
• The Catholic church conducted all masses entirely in latin until 1969.
• Many latin drama/comedy authors adopted plots, characters, and other ideas from the greeks.
• University classes are often taught entirely in latin at many european universities.
• Latin was used frequently to write scientific and philosophical texts until the late 1800's because of its grammatical flexability.
Examples• “scapul stat” =immediately”• “Et cetera” or etc. =and otherwise• “&” =and• “pro bono” =for the good• “Canus” (Canine) =dog
