This assignment is a Powerpoint presentation showing the history of your chosen word as well as the history of five related words (i.e., words from the same Indo-European root). The word history should include the meanings and histories of all roots and affixes (prefixes and suffixes) that form the word. The Powerpoint should include pictures, video, music, etc., anything that can illustrate the meanings of your words and make your presentation more interesting.
You should choose words that your classmates are less likely to know and that have interesting histories.
The American Heritage Dictionary is most useful for tracing the derivation of your word, and the Oxford English Dictionary can provide interesting information concerning your word's history of attestation.
Find attached a worksheet to help you collect the necessary information for your project.
