Vocabulary/Spelling: FRENCH language of origin

The Spelling Bee list gives us a GREAT opportunity to learn more powerful vocabulary words and also to learn more about their language of origin.  Knowing the origin of a word can help us understand how it is spelled and pronounced.  

For this assignment, you will be using our Spelling Bee list to study words that originated in these languages:  French, Anglo-Saxon, Latin, and Greek.  Here is the link to the Spelling Bee words/definitions:  https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fresources.finalsite.net%2fimages%2fv1635869712%2fdavisk12utus%2fkp9k9lkxysvjjr6yw2sg%2f2021-22SchoolStudyListPronounciationGuide.pdf&c=E,1,lYtHI8XKxxsF53LyV68Q7C-KmLTm1i2xi7qEy8pwXwEigIvQvpDHRuQYtFxI3X-WMy0gRGLjcb_DNjHb9U8iCPtK17ZjDIzDlnbx6OJoFitkXF_amEMjEQ,,&typo=1 Links to an external site.

If you are working from home, grab some pieces of lined paper.  

• On the first day, focus on finding at least 10 words that come directly from FRENCH.  
• For each of your 10 words, include a complete definition.  Also, use them (correctly!!) in a sentence.  The sentence should be your own, of course (not the one you see in the Spelling Bee definitions). 
• After you have at least 10 words that originated from French, identify at least two things that you noticed about the words.  Do these words share any spelling/pronunciation patterns?  

If you are working from home, you should finish the 10 French words today.  We'll identify words of Anglo-Saxon, Latin and Greek origin in the coming days.  

If you are working from home, make sure to turn in your work when you return to class!
