1. Where's THAT From?
Somebody invented every word you speak. Every word had a beginning--a birth. Etymology is
the study of where words come from. When you enter
this site, you will take a quiz on word origins. Use
your dictionary to help you answer the questions.
Write your score below when you finish. My
score_________

3. The English Teachers' Web Site
Scroll down to contributions and click. Then scroll down to Grammar Rock and click. Then click on Schoolhouse Rock. Yes, this is the same Schoolhouse Rock you loved on Saturday morning. And yes, I know you are now too old for it. Take a walk down memory lane anyway. Click on Grammar Rock once you get to the site. Then listen to and watch the ones on adjectives and adverbs (which we just finished studying) and the one on prepositions (which we are starting to study). You can even rate each song.
