00:00:00
hello students today we are going to
00:00:02
practice with spelling
00:00:06
you have a sheet that looks like this it
00:00:08
has four spaces for four different
00:00:11
spelling rules
00:00:12
we are going to go over each of those
00:00:14
spelling rules i'm going to share some
00:00:16
examples with you while you're watching
00:00:18
you can pause the video
00:00:19
or if you have your screen split
00:00:23
you can go through and fill this in as i
00:00:25
share the examples with you
00:00:27
so first of all i just want to tell you
00:00:29
that english is a very beautiful
00:00:31
yet complicated language all of these
00:00:34
rules i am going to share with you
00:00:36
there are exceptions to them so that's
00:00:39
one of the things that makes spelling
00:00:41
and english a little bit difficult
00:00:44
but it's also extremely important that
00:00:47
you
00:00:47
spell words correctly when you are
00:00:50
presenting and sharing your writing with
00:00:52
other people
00:00:53
so we're going to just look at different
00:00:55
ways for you to
00:00:56
practice with a few rules and then also
00:00:59
some strategies for polishing and
00:01:01
editing your work
00:01:02
before you share it with others so first
00:01:05
of all let's look at this rule
00:01:07
i before e except after c
00:01:11
i'm going to share an example with you
00:01:13
let's let's look at the word
00:01:14
believe b e l now our rule tells us
00:01:19
i before e i e v
00:01:22
e that is correct
00:01:25
believe now let's look at an exception
00:01:30
so it says here on this little page of
00:01:33
rules
00:01:33
i before e except after
00:01:37
c so let's look at a word that has that
00:01:39
except in it
00:01:40
and that an example is the word receive
00:01:43
r e c now it's i before e
00:01:46
except after c so that means we're going
00:01:48
to flip e
00:01:50
i v e receive
00:01:54
this word is correct there's another
00:01:57
exception though y'all
00:01:58
and that is except after c
00:02:02
or oops so that font is super big let me
00:02:06
change it
00:02:09
or when it sounds like
00:02:12
a
00:02:15
you may think to yourself what are you
00:02:17
talking about lady
00:02:19
i'm going to give you two examples so
00:02:22
you know what i mean when i say it
00:02:24
sounds like
00:02:25
a
00:02:28
let's look at the word neighbor n
00:02:31
e i g h b o r it's i before e
00:02:36
except after c there's no c here but it
00:02:39
sounds like a
00:02:40
neighbor and another example is the word
00:02:43
way
00:02:47
we're going to just just i'm going to
00:02:48
write on this just a little bit so you
00:02:50
can see what i'm talking about
00:02:52
because i just think that makes it a
00:02:54
little bit easier so
00:02:56
i before e
00:02:59
except after c that's right here
00:03:03
or when it sounds like a neighbor
00:03:08
way and if you notice this kind of
00:03:10
rhymes that's the way i learned it when
00:03:12
i was a kid
00:03:13
i before e except after c or when
00:03:16
sounding like a
00:03:17
as in neighbor and way i know you've got
00:03:21
that
00:03:21
so let's look at another the next role
00:03:24
and it's
00:03:25
at the end of a word change y to an
00:03:28
i so if this is if a word ends with the
00:03:30
letter y if you're adding something to
00:03:33
the end of it
00:03:34
you got to drop that y and turn it into
00:03:36
an i
00:03:37
here is an example let's look at the
00:03:39
word study
00:03:41
what if you want to say studied i
00:03:44
studied
00:03:45
then you get rid of that y and turn it
00:03:48
into ied
00:03:51
easy let's look at another example
00:03:54
we're going to practice with the word
00:03:57
happy you have happy h-a-p-p-y
00:04:02
let's say we want to say happiness we
00:04:05
drop that y
00:04:06
turn it into an i and then just add the
00:04:09
rest of the letters we need
00:04:11
n-e-s-s happiness
00:04:15
okay let's look at rule number three
00:04:18
drop the final e when changing the end
00:04:21
of a word
00:04:22
this is very similar to this y to an i
00:04:25
business
00:04:26
except you just change the e it ends
00:04:29
with an e
00:04:30
so we have the word smile we want to
00:04:33
change that
00:04:34
to smiling all you do is
00:04:38
cut that e out and you add the ending of
00:04:41
the word
00:04:42
smiling let's practice again what if you
00:04:46
have the word
00:04:46
argue you get rid of the e
00:04:50
and now it becomes arguing
00:04:53
got two opposites here right smile and
00:04:56
argue
00:04:58
all right i hope you're keeping track of
00:05:00
your notes page
00:05:01
let's do one more dear student and this
00:05:04
is whenever you are joining two words
00:05:06
you're making a compound word
00:05:08
you do not change the spelling of the
00:05:10
words to combine them
00:05:12
for example let's say you're writing the
00:05:13
word roommate you write the word room
00:05:16
you put the word mate you don't change
00:05:19
anything else you just combine them
00:05:21
roommate easy
00:05:24
let's change let's write the word
00:05:26
bookkeeper we have book
00:05:29
we're going to add keeper even though
00:05:31
they both end with e and you might think
00:05:33
to yourself lady
00:05:34
that's too many k's it's not so we're
00:05:37
just going to say
00:05:38
bookkeeper
00:05:42
there we go joining two words so they're
00:05:45
becoming a compound word but we don't
00:05:47
change the spelling of either one of
00:05:48
them
00:05:51
so what if you are
00:05:54
writing a paper you're sending a text
00:05:57
message i don't know
00:05:58
you're doing something where you're
00:05:59
having to compose what if you can't
00:06:01
figure out the word you can't figure out
00:06:03
how to spell it
00:06:04
one try to sound the word out that might
00:06:07
sound silly because you think that
00:06:08
that's something that young elementary
00:06:10
kids do but it's not sometimes you just
00:06:12
need to break the word apart and say it
00:06:14
slowly
00:06:15
definitely that's one of my words that
00:06:18
always throws me off
00:06:20
sound it out another thing you can do is
00:06:22
think about the spelling rules that you
00:06:25
have learned and just what you know
00:06:26
about spelling
00:06:28
the next step would be to check the
00:06:30
dictionary
00:06:31
then after that ask somebody maybe you
00:06:34
can't find the word of the dictionary
00:06:36
you don't have a dictionary with you
00:06:37
do that first but then if you can't if
00:06:40
you can't for whatever reason
00:06:41
you should ask a friend or a classmate
00:06:44
or finally
00:06:45
lastly ask your teacher let's take a
00:06:48
moment though to think about what if
00:06:49
you're in a situation
00:06:51
like the star test right you can do this
00:06:54
you can't do this so you only have
00:06:57
options one through three
00:06:58
so a big one to do is to check the
00:07:01
dictionary
00:07:02
so let's just talk about a little bit
00:07:05
more about the testing situation
00:07:08
what words should you be looking up in
00:07:10
the dictionary
00:07:11
for sure every word that you are unsure
00:07:14
about
00:07:15
if it's a word that you did have to go
00:07:17
through and sound it out or think about
00:07:19
your spelling rules
00:07:20
it's best to go back and double check
00:07:22
those words to make that's a check mark
00:07:24
by the way
00:07:25
to make sure that you have spelt them
00:07:27
correctly
00:07:29
also if there's a word that you just
00:07:30
keep on repeating
00:07:32
maybe it's one of your examples it's
00:07:35
just a word that you like
00:07:36
and you just keep using it you should
00:07:38
check it to make sure you're not using
00:07:40
that word
00:07:41
wrong repeatedly because that would be a
00:07:43
bad situation dear students
00:07:45
and then finally if it's a word from the
00:07:47
prompt like
00:07:48
integrity or honesty or something like
00:07:52
that
00:07:53
you should look that word up in the
00:07:55
dictionary or just read the prompt
00:07:57
carefully and make sure you're spelling
00:07:59
it right because
00:08:00
if the star test or any test it gives
00:08:03
you a word
00:08:04
you sure as heck don't want to spell
00:08:06
that word incorrectly right
00:08:09
so we're going to take a moment to
00:08:10
practice i have a paragraph here for you
00:08:14
it's just a short one
00:08:15
and we're going to practice using some
00:08:16
of those strategies that we just talked
00:08:18
about
00:08:19
so let's say you have this prompt write
00:08:21
an essay stating your position on
00:08:23
whether or not
00:08:24
fear can sometimes lead to success and i
00:08:27
started writing off a pic writing a
00:08:28
paragraph to your students
00:08:30
you have this paragraph on your
00:08:32
note-taking page
00:08:33
so you can take it and just kind of fill
00:08:35
along fill in with us
00:08:36
as as i go so let's say let's read the
00:08:40
intro
00:08:41
listening to the coach so you won't run
00:08:43
laps
00:08:45
studying for a test not to get grounded
00:08:48
well that's kind of a tricky word let's
00:08:51
look at it
00:08:52
study our rule tells us that we should
00:08:56
put
00:08:57
but that doesn't look right actually we
00:08:58
got the correction on it that's an
00:09:00
example
00:09:01
of the word that does not follow the
00:09:03
rule study
00:09:05
i'd automatically spell checked it for
00:09:06
me and that's what i wanted to do
00:09:08
but if i wasn't sure i could go to a
00:09:11
site like the dictionary
00:09:13
and i can just go through and
00:09:18
make sure that i'm spelling the word
00:09:20
correctly so
00:09:21
studying if i look it up i see study
00:09:26
and it'll it'll help me figure out if
00:09:28
i'm spelling the word
00:09:30
correctly or not so
00:09:33
here we go right here studying now i
00:09:35
know that i
00:09:36
that is correct studying for a test not
00:09:39
to get grounded
00:09:41
always wearing a detention tool
00:09:44
an id excuse me to avoid receiving
00:09:48
detention
00:09:49
we know that is i before
00:09:52
e except after c
00:09:58
receiving detention these are all
00:10:01
times that fear has made a person make
00:10:04
the right decision
00:10:05
fear motivates a person to be
00:10:09
successful that's one of the words from
00:10:10
the prompt so i want to use it
00:10:12
and like we said in our spelling tips
00:10:15
it's really important that you go
00:10:16
through
00:10:17
and you make sure that you are spelling
00:10:19
the word from the prompt correctly
00:10:21
success can sometimes throw people off
00:10:23
with the double c and the double
00:10:25
s so just look there and make sure it's
00:10:27
right
00:10:30
and you can also i have this linked here
00:10:33
too
00:10:33
you can always go to the dictionary and
00:10:35
type in the word that you need
00:10:37
to see if that can help you too all
00:10:39
right dear students
00:10:40
i hope that this video has helped you
00:10:44
and good luck
