Once you complete your review and research, you will develop your paper. Examine the words and phrases you identified. In your opening include 2-3 words or phrases you recognized and 2-3 words or phrases that you did not. Explain why and include a reference to modern English equivalent words.
The body of your paper should address the conclusions you can draw about how words have changed from Middle to Modern English and why.
