We pratised etymology matching exercises in order to show our knowledge of the languages from which common Engish words come.We went through http://www.teachit.co.uk/armoore/lang/etymolquiz.htm.
It was a surprising and different activity but a bit difficult.
Then we did another activity related to idiomatic expressions.http://www.thefreedictionary.com/
checked the meaning of the following idiomatic phrases:
Lose one's marbles. marhttp://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/marblesbles
Let the cat out of the bag. http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/let+the+cat+out+of+the+bag
