Assignment

I’m learning all kinds of new things whilst studying for my Praxis, not the least of which is how to read poetry.

Quick, everybody, list a word that follows each rule (so, total, you’ll have nine words):

1. Initial fl-

2. Initial gl-

3. Initial sl-

4. Initial st-

5. Short i

6. Long o or oo

7. Medial (in the middle of the word) att

8. Final -er or -le

9. Final ck

Then I’ll teach you something about them.

I’m so excited! I’m a nerd! Every day!

  8. Hey there! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance from an established blog. Is it very difficult to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick. I’m thinking about making my own but I’m not sure where to start. Do you have any points or suggestions? Thanks

  9. Good web site! I truly love how it is easy on my eyes and the data are well written. I am wondering how I could be notified whenever a new post has been made. I’ve subscribed to your RSS which must do the trick! Have a nice day!
