British Literature

Goal Planner (TLIM) Identify the relationship between place/society and literature (historical context) Practice visualizing what your read. Evaluate characters through inferences. Respond actively to literature as you are reading, instead of passively looking at words. GOAL Read, comprehend, and analyze pieces of literature from the 10 th and 11 th Centuries by the end of four weeks. ACTIONS:

Why English is so Hard We´ll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes, But the plural of ox becomes oxen, not oxes. One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese, Yet the plural of moose should never be meese. You may find a lone mouse or a nest full of mice, Yet the plural of house is houses, not hice. Take a minute to read the following:
