Students took a brief (five question) quiz over yesterday's handout on the history of the English language. We graded the quizzes together, using the occasion to review and amplify what students knew about the subject.

Afterwards we pursued the subject further by stepping back from English to survey (from a great height) the history of the entire Indo-European language family, by means of the chart inside the back cover of our classroom dictionary (American Heritage College Dictionary, 4th ed.).
