Here’s a real life example I encountered while teaching a Humanities-based 12th grade research paper class. I had a student who wanted to research “overpopulation”. He was interested in it because he felt it was an ethical issue. We both headed to a computer and I said, “let me show you something.” I typed “overpopulation” into. This lesson includes an editable PowerPoint presentation, a research paper assignment, and everything you will need to work on the entire research paper writing process with your secondary students. Read more about research in the classroom with Part 2 which covers research paper topics and Part 3 which includes using Google Apps for research.
Ms. Coburn*, what is the story with Ms., Mrs., and Miss? Aren't they interchangeable?
The answer is no, theseterms are not interchangeable. All threeabbreviations are derived from the same 16th century word,“Mistress,” the feminine form of “Master,” but “Mistress” does not denotemarital status.
Mrs.:(PRONOUNCEDMIS-IZ)This is used to refer to an adult woman who is married and took her husband’slast name, and by a widow whose title does not change when her husbanddies. The plural of “Mrs.” is from the French “Mesdames,” which may be used as is, or may be abbreviated as “Mmes.”
Ms.:(PRONOUNCEDMIZ) This is used to addressadult women whose marital status you do not know, or who tell you to use it forthem. Some women prefer this termbecause they did not take their husbands’ last names, are divorced, or simply donot want to advertise their marital status. Either “Mss.”or “Mses.”may be used as the plural for this termwhich became popular in the 20th century.
Miss:(PRONOUNCEDMIS) This is used to addressgirls who are younger than eighteen years old. It is also used informally for adult women such as preschool teachersand dance coaches. The plural of “Miss”is “Misses,” but the traditional French 'Mesdemoiselles' (abbreviation'Mlles.') may also beused as the plural in English language conversation or correspondence.
