what are the five stages of spelling development

precommunicative- dont understand sound and letter correspondence

semiphonetic- may ignore some vowels “i lv u”

phonetic- letter and sound correspondence gets better. CVC words easier to spell

transitional- understanding patterns in certain words, but still makes some mistakes

conventional- correct spelling

3rd grader spelling words like woch instead of watch

transitional stage of spelling

able to understand orthographic patterns of english (frequently occurring letter combinations)

child is spelling the words with correct phonetic representation, but unable to correctly spell some

would benefit with direct phonics instruction in more complex orthographic patterns and phonetic elements such as /wr/

also assistance in vowel patterns, long vs short

what is the whole to part method of explicit phonics instruction

Putting words with target patterns into the context of a complete sentence

Teacher models by reading the sentence aloud while pointing at each word, then students will read the sentence while teacher still points to each word. Teacher will then read the targeted word, which is underlined, and then child will read the word several times. Targeted orthographic pattern is circled and children will practice making the sound.

constitution ratified in 1788, name three aspects

3 branches of government, system of checks and balances, bicameral legislature

bicameral was the solution to appeal to all states. Each state would get 2 senators and representatives for the house based off of population. For tax and population size purposes, slaves were considered 3/5 of a person.

Small states wanted equal representation, large states wanted proportional representation

list two ideas that came from the renaissance and how the differed from the middle ages

humanism: wanted balance between faith and reason. Believed people could enjoy lifes luxuries without offending God. Middle Ages Christians believed everyone was born a sinner and discouraged indulging in luxuries.

name 3 major consequences that came from the expansion of Islamic influence into asia africa and europe

Decline in European trade, religious tolerance, unification of small kingdoms into larger empires

focus on third: fragmented tribes and kingdoms in North Africa become unified into large empires under Islam. During the Roman Empire, “Europe” meant the world surrounding the Mediterranean, and included North Africa. Europe’s borders changed when North Africa became an Islamic Empire. The Mediterranean became a border dividing the two halves. Muslims invaded France, resulting in the Battle of Tours, but were unsuccessful in spreading Islam further into Europe. Most of the Arabian Peninsula was conquered by the time Muhammad died in 632. As Islam spreads, the Arabs take Syria, Palestine, and Egypt from the Byzantine Empire, and Iraq and Iran from the Sasanian empire. The Arabian Peninsula serves as a land bridge connecting Asia, Europe, and Africa. Followers of Islam were united in the pursuit of science.

Major economic influences in CA and how that contributed to development of CA

Agricultural industry: from gold rush (1848-1855) -> wheat boom (1850s-1890s) -> fruit cultivation (1890 onwards)

Unsuccessful gold miners became farmers. California’s land was ideal for growing wheat—flat terrain, fertile soil, wet/dry climate. California exported much of its wheat to ko European markets, setting a pattern of integration into world markets for CA’s agricultural industry. CA outstriped wheat produced in mid-west and eastern states due to labor-saving technology and animals, and different wheat varieties that enabled year-round growing. Wheat production declined due to soil depletion, but opened the way for California to become one of the world’s principal producers of fruit like grapes, citrus, olives, lemons, plums, etc. CA’s booming agriculture industry created an endless need for farm labor, leading to a population boom, immigration wave, and new towns developing overnight.

Entertainment industry: CA started attracting film producers in 1908. By 1915, many motion picture companies had relocated to Hollywood from the East coast. Hollywood was an ideal place to produce movies because of its consistently warm and sunny climate and diverse terrain that could be used as backdrops. These conditions allowed for more filming days per year than the east coast. Hollywood was also an ideal place for film makers because it was far enough away from Thomas Edison’s motion picture patent company. Thomas Edison owned the majority of patents used in the film industry and would sue companies violating patent law. California created enough distance between Thomas Edison’s company on the east coast that there was a minimal threat to being sued. These factors caused Hollywood to transform from a village of 500 to the center of American movie production. LA’s population also went from 100,000 at the start of the 20th century to over a million by 1929. The population boom from the film industry helped give rise to new industries in California like oil and aviation manufacturing.
