In the textbook, World Geography, we read - on pp 278-279 - about the Spread of the English Language.

In our outline I asked each student to sketch a symbol to accompany each of the following -

1. Roman Empire (Triumphal arch, the Roman god Janus, etc)

2. Latin language (Roman numerals, a monk-scholar)

3. Roman Catholic Church (a medieval cathedral from the text book)

4. Anglo-Saxons (tree around which they worshipped, hooded Druid)

5. William of Normandy (Tower of London, built by William)

6. The English language (portrait of Shakespeare, Globe Theater)
