Subject: Papers in History of English Courses

 


This note is a response and and further query about Herb Stahlke's note of 10-31-05.  Herb, your suggestion regarding undergraduate papers in a History of English course seemed most cogent--namely, having students hand in the major paper (on the history and usage of a word) in sections throughout the semester,   In your note, you mentioned that you allow students to choose the word, with some guidance from you.  What specific words have you suggested they choose?  I am teaching History of the English Language this spring semester and am eager to try your suggestion regarding the paper.  I look forward to your response and those of others who have tried this approach.  Thanks.
