Spelling Rules for Older Children: R-Controlled Vowels and Soft G and C

This class is a FLEX class. This means that you will receive a video recording of the lesson. I will teach the rule, and then have children spell words. They will be asked to pause the recording, spell the word, unpause it, and then check to see if it is spelled correctly. 
We will discuss why the word is spelled that way, and review syllables that were taught in the first Spelling Rules for Older children class. (Open syllables, closed syllables, r-controlled vowels, VCE words, etc)

Homework with 10 spelling words will be assigned. The homework will need to be printed. It will not be turned in, but it is helpful if it is completed. 
Three times during the week the students will be asked to participate in more learning regarding the spelling rules or their spelling words. 
 A question about a spelling rule or spelling word will be asked. (Can you find words that we haven't spelled that have a long o sound? or Use the spelling word moistness in a sentence,  or Can you find a word with an open syllable and C + l-e syllable.)

Students may create their own video explaining the rule
Students may be asked to answer the "challenge questions" 
Students may be asked to post a picture of a sentence they created and their drawing
Games like Jeopardy may also be played. 
At the end of the week, they will take a spelling test and have a short quiz on the spelling rule. I will grade this and return it to them. (Kahoot)

The lessons are as follows:
Week 1: Review Syllables and work on "er"
Week 2 - Work on "ar" sounds, review "er"
Week 3 - Work on "or" sounds, continue to review "er"
Week 4 - Work on soft c words - c makes /s/ sound like in celebrate
