Just for fun - The longest word in the English language

Do you know what the longest word in English is? According to wikipedia, the longest word in the English language consists of 189,819 letters. It is a term which refers to the chemical term for titin, a protein. However, it has been argued if this word is even considered a word because it is arbitrarily long. If you consult the Oxford dictionary, however, the longest word in English Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. It refers to a lung disease which stems from inhaling fine chemicals from volcanoes. How many syllables do you think there are in this word?

Reaction Writing

In your next blogging assignment, I'd like you to view the two video links below which explore both sides of a controversial issue we will focus on in class next week. When you view the videos, ask yourselves the following questions:



What is the issue? What are the sides of the issue? How do the producers use the video footage in a persuasive way? Did it work? Which side do you support? Why??



You should complete this assigment for Tuesday. Please reaction exploring the above questions but in paragraphs - in other words, no one word/two word answers. We will discuss the content of these videos in class. I apologize in advance because they will trigger an emotional reaction in some of you who are sensitive to the topic, but isn't that the point of a debate?
