A-Level English. Language Change lesson one

Lesson plan and all resources to teach an opening lesson on Language Change. PPT (with teaching notes) contains unit/exam requirements, 5 versions of a bible passage from 995 to 1961, the opening of Beowulf, a link to David Crystal discussing Beowulf and Old English, a timeline I have produced on the history of the English language from OE to PDE, and a homework/research task on how and why the English language has changed, developed and grown over the last twenty years. All of the handouts can be printed from the PPT slides, but I have also included files from where they can be printed directly. I hope it helps.
