Title: Article: Teacher Touts Latin to Aid Vocabulary, Critical Thinking
Body: From http://www.commercialappeal.com/news/2009/mar/04/my-profession-teacher-living-language Teacher touts Latin to aid vocabulary, critical thinking By Jonathan Devin March 4, 2009 Like many high school students of Latin, Dawn LaFon was forced to take the subject by her mother, but the language of Cicero and Virgil quickly became her life's passion. In her efforts to relate Latin to her students' lives, LaFon has rewritten songs with Latin pronouns ("I don't know where I come up with these things," she laughed), employed the letters of Cicero for discussions on career choices, and drawn connections between ancient and current events.

Title: List of French Words and Phrases Used by English Speakers
Body: From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zut_alors#Z Approximately 40% of English vocabulary is of French or Oïl language origin, most derived from, or transmitted by, the Anglo-Norman spoken by the upper classes in England for several hundred years after the Norman Conquest, before the language settled into what became Modern English. This article, however, covers words and phrases that generally entered the lexicon later, as through literature, the arts, diplomacy, and other cultural exchanges not involving conquests. Access the list of French used in English at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zut_alors#Z .

Title: Article: Where Education and Assimilation Collide
Body: From http://www.nytimes.com/2009/03/15/us/15immig.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1 Where Education and Assimilation Collide By GINGER THOMPSON March 14, 2009 In the last decade, record numbers of immigrants, both legal and illegal, have fueled the greatest growth in public schools since the baby boom. The influx has strained many districts’ budgets and resources and put classrooms on the front lines of America’s battles over whether and how to assimilate the newcomers and their children. Inside schools, which are required to enroll students regardless of their immigration status and are prohibited from even asking about it, the debate has turned to how best to educate them. Hylton High, where a reporter for The New York Times spent much of the past year, is a vivid laboratory. Like thousands of other schools across the country, it has responded to the surge of immigrants by channeling them into a school within a school. It is, in effect, a contemporary form of segregation that provides students learning English intensive support to meet rising academic standards — and it also helps keep the peace.
