Why Is There a "b" in Doubt?

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Why Is There a "b" in Doubt? instructional video also includes:

Many doubt the reasoning for having a b in doubt, but do they know the whole story? Pupils can watch as a Latin word becomes the English doubt. The narrator explains the etymology of doubt, emphasizes the importance of meaning and history in spelling, and builds a tree of words related to doubt. Your class might accept that silent b after viewing the video. Test their understanding with a brief included quiz and build upon the lesson with additional included links and information.
