-Knowing some common prefixes and suffixes (affixes), base words, and root words can help students learn the meanings of many new words -For example, if students learn just the four most common prefixes in English (un-, re-, in-, dis-), they will have important clues about the meaning of about two-thirds of all English words that have prefixes -Prefixes are relatively easy to learn because they have clear meanings (un- = not, re = again), they are usually spelled the same way from word to word, and they always occur at the beginning of words
Roman contributions to the western world
-Law (greatest contribution): rule of law/equality before the law, civil and contract law codes -Engineering and architecture: concrete, arch, roads (200,000 miles of roads), aqueducts and cisterns, monumental buildings (the Colosseum) -Culture: history, literature (Virgil's Aeneid, Ovid's Metamorphoses), rhetoric (the art and study of the use of language with persuasive effect) -Continued the Greek tradition in literature, art, sculpture, and the humanities
The Beginning Reader: Developmental Expectation
-Letters are associated with sounds -Children begin to read simple CVC words (such as mat, sun, pin) -They usually represent such words with a single sound, and later spell with the first and last consonant: for example, CT for cat -When writing later, vowels are included in each syllable -Children now rhyme and blend words -When reading later, they begin to recognize "chunks," or phonograms.
The topography of Africa
-Mainly composed of three regions: desert, savanna, and tropical rainforest -The Sahara desert dominates the continent (covers most of northern Africa) -Trade and commerce were connected to the geographical potential of the area -Large populations flourished in the savanna and were primarily agrarian
High Frequency Word Recognition (reading assessment)
-Measures word recognition out of context -In general, proficient readers can read words in and out of context, and poor readers over-rely on context for decoding -This also assists the teacher in determining a level to start testing in oral reading inventories

Sight-Word Programs
-Non-systematic phonics instruction -Begin by teaching children a sight-word reading vocabulary of from 50 to 100 words -Only after they learn to read these words to children receive instruction in the Alphabetic Principle
Literature-Based Programs
-Non-systematic phonics instruction -Emphasize reading and writing -Phonics instruction is embedded in these activities, but letter-sound relationships are taught incidentally, usually based on key letters that appear in student reading materials
Basal Reading Programs
-Non-systematic phonics instruction -Focus on whole-word or meaning-based activities -These programs pay only limited attention to letter-sound relationships and provide little or no instruction in how to blend letters to pronounce words
Lydians

The Lydians
-Occupied western Asia Minor (500s B.C.) -Their culture reached its zenith under King Croesus (Golden King) -Were responsible for the first coinage of money
The Caste System
-Originated in India (1500 B.C.) as part of the teachings of Hinduism -Divided people into four distinct and inflexible social groups: priests and teachers; rulers and warriors; merchants and artisans; and peasants and servants (the lowest caste) -People who did not belong to any group were the untouchables -Members of one caste could not marry or even eat with members of another caste -No amount of success would allow a person to move from one caste to another -Outlawed in 1950
Partner Reading (reading aloud exercise)
-Paired students take turns reading aloud to each other -More fluent readers can be paired with less fluent readers -Stronger reader reads a paragraph or page first, providing a model of fluent reading -Then the less fluent reader reads the same text aloud -Stronger student gives help with word recognition and provides feedback and encouragement to the less fluent partner -The less fluent partner rereads the passage until s/he can read it independently -Partner reading need not be done with a more and less fluent reader -Two readers of equal ability can practice rereading after hearing the teacher read the passage

California water delivery system
-Population is 37 million+; fresh water is a precious resource and its availability is a pressing issue -While 75% of the state's water resources originate north of Sacramento, 80% of the demand lies in the southern 2/3 of the state -Engineering has proven to be the controversial solution to California's water problems -Hetch Hetchy Aqueduct Provides water to the Bay Area of San Francisco -California, Los Angeles, and Colorado aqueducts meet the water needs of Los Angeles and San Diego counties -Population and demand continue to grow; new solutions needed to this centuries-old problem
Problems with the Articles of Confederation
-Problems became clear during the "Critical Period" after the Revolutionary War (1781-1789) -Had to rely on requesting funds from the states -Did not bind the states together in a true union -No centralized control over trade ---Uniform tariffs could not be imposed ---States could impose their own trade restrictions against other states -13 different currencies continued to exist -No authority to borrow money inside or outside the United States -Lacked balance in Congress between large and small states ---All states given one vote, even though large states were expected to provide more financial support than small states -Unanimous approval was needed for changes or amendments -No executive authority to balance the power of Congress or to ensure that laws of Congress were carried out
Mental Imagery (text comprehension classroom activity)
-Readers (especially younger readers) who visualize during reading understand and remember what they read better than readers who do not visualize -Help students by urging them to picture a setting, character, or event described in the text
Summarizing (text comprehension classroom activity)
-Requires students to determine what is important in what they are reading, to condense this information, and to put it into their own words -Instruction helps students identify or generate main ideas, connect the main or central ideas, eliminate redundant and unnecessary information, and remember what they read
Telegraphic Speech
-Simplified speech or an early form of speech -This is usually a two-word sentence spoken by a 2-year-old -First sentences consist of just enough words to get the meaning across (e.g. I cold)
Choral/Unison Reading (reading aloud exercise)
-Students read along as a group with the teacher/another fluent adult reader -They might follow along with you as you read from a big book, or they might read from their own copy of the book you are reading -Predictable books are particularly useful, because their repetitious style invites students to join in -Begin by reading the book aloud as you model fluent reading -Students should read the book with you 3 to 5 times total -At this time, students should be able to read the text independently
Tape-Assisted Reading (reading aloud exercise)
-Students read along in their books as they hear a fluent reader read the book on an audiotape -You need a book at the student's independent reading level and a tape recording of the book read by a fluent reader at about 80 to 100 words per minute -The tape should not have sound effects or music -1st reading: student should follow along with the tape, pointing to each word in his/her book as the reader reads it -Next: student should try to read aloud along with the tape -Reading along with the tape should continue until the student is able to read the book independently, without the support of the tape
The Fluent Reader: Developmental Expectation

Readers' Theatre (reading aloud exercise)
-Students rehearse and perform a play for peers or others -They read from scripts that have been derived from books that are rich in dialogue -Students play characters who speak lines or a narrator who shares necessary background information -Provides readers with a legitimate reason to reread text and practice fluency -Also promotes cooperative interaction with peers and makes the reading task appealing
Private Speech
-Talking out loud to oneself with no intention to communicate with others -This helps children to integrate language and thought
Phonemic Awareness Instruction
-Teaches children to notice, think about, and work with/manipulate sounds in spoken language. This helps children become aware of English sound systems, consonants, and vowels. -Teachers can use a variety of instructional methods, however, teaching one or two types of phoneme manipulation—specifically, blending and segmenting phonemes in words—is likely to produce greater benefits -Should be explicit about the connection between phonemic awareness and reading
Generating Questions (text comprehension classroom activity)
-Teaching students to ask their own questions improves their active processing of text and their comprehension -By doing this, students become aware of whether they can answer the questions and whether they understand what they are reading -Students learn to ask themselves questions that require them to integrate information from different segments of text
Early cultures in Mesoamerica
-The Olmec-dev. one of first civ. in mesoamerica (now mexico, central am.)-dev. agricultural community and 1st calendar in America-noted artwork in many media -The Mayas-yucatan peninsula-only known written lang. of pre-columbian americas-achieved complex civ.-cities were trade and religious centers-excelled in math, science, astronomy, and engineering (pyramids)-sophisticated art and monumental architecture-tikal and palenque -The Aztecs-conq. much of central mexico-Toltecs preceded Aztecs-Aztecs built great city (Tenochtitlan) and ruled an empire-religion and war dominated life-rich mythological and religious traditions-temples and palaces-artistically advanced -The Incas-controlled vast empire in S.

Turks assumed leadership of Muslim world
-The Seljuks fought the crusaders and regained lost land -Mongols invaded the eastern Muslim Empire -The Ottoman Empire expanded territory and lasted for many centuries -Constantinople was the center of the Ottoman Empire
Fluency
-The ability to read a text accurately and quickly; when reading aloud, the ability to do so effortlessly and with expression (sounds natural, as if they are speaking). -Provides a bridge between word recognition and comprehension. Because they do not have to concentrate on decoding the words, they can focus their attention on what the text means. Readers recognize words and comprehend at the same time and focus their attention on making connections among the ideas in a text and between these ideas and their background knowledge. -Develops gradually over time and with practice. -To read with expression, readers must be able to divide the text into meaningful chunks (including phrases and clauses), know when to pause appropriately within and at the ends of sentences and when to change emphasis and tone.
Semantics
-The analysis and study of meanings of words, phrases, and sentences -This is useful as a strategy in decoding to analyze the word that "sounds" correct in a sentence.
Decoding
-The analysis of spoken or written symbols in order to understand their meaning -This primarily refers to word identification

Stages of Reading Development
-The emergent reader -The beginning reader -The fluent reader -The remedial reader
General characteristics of renaissance
-The emphasis was on man rather than God -There was a reawakening or rebirth of classical models -The ideal of the "universal man" was widely held
The Alphabetic Principle
-The goal of phonics instruction -The understanding that there are systematic and predictable relationships between written letters and spoken sounds -Knowing these relationships will help children recognize familiar words accurately and automatically, and "decode" new words -Contributes greatly to children's ability to read words both in isolation and connected text
Economic advantages of California
-The gross domestic product (GDP) ranks California number one in the nation -The California GDP ranks it among the top 10 COUNTRIES in the world -Vast natural resources (oil, timber, minerals, etc.) and abundant fertile land allow for future growth -Cali leads the nation in manufacturing and agricultural production -The higher education system (junior colleges, state colleges, and universities) is among the finest in the nation
The Remedial Reader: Developmental Expectation
-The key approach to successful reading programs is preventive rather than remedial while understanding that there is a full range of learners in the classroom -Therefore, students who are struggling to read are taught from the same systematic framework taught in the early grades of successful readers
Effects of the Reformation
-The medieval political unity of Europe was replaced by the spirit of modern nationalism -The authority of the state was strengthened -The middle class was strengthened -Calvinism gave capitalism its psychological base -Religious wars reflected the fervor of the times

Grapheme
-The smallest part of written language that represents a phoneme in the spelling of a word -May be just one letter (such as b, d, f, p, s) or several letters (such as ch, sh, th, -ck, ea, -igh)
Phoneme
-The smallest unit of sound/part of spoken language that makes a difference in the meaning of words -English has about 41 -Sometimes represented by more than one letter Examples: "oh" (/o/), "if" (/i/ /f/), "stop" (/s/ /t/ /o/ /p/), "check" (/ch/ /e/ /k/)
the cascade range and modoc plateau
-The southern extreme of the Cascade Range is located in the northeastern corner of California. It extends 550 miles northward into Canada. -The area is separate from the Sierra Nevada and is about 25 miles wide -The Cascade Range mountains were formed exclusively by volcanic activity. Many, like Mt. Shasta (14,162 feet), are dormant or extinct volcanoes -Lassen Peak is the largest plug-dome (filled with magma) volcano in the world -The Modoc Plateau is a level tableland of volcanic origin
Student-Adult Reading (reading aloud exercise)
-The student reads one-on-one with an adult (teacher, parent, classroom aide or tutor) -The adult reads the text first, providing the students with a model of fluent reading -Then the student reads the same passage to the adult with the adult providing assistance and encouragement -The student rereads the passage until the reading is quite fluent (should take approx. 3 to 4 readings)
Pragmatics
-The system of principles and assumptions for using language and related gestures communicatively in social contexts -Also, the study of language use for the discovery of this rule system
Text Comprehension
-The ultimate goal of reading -Although the basics of reading (word recognition and fluency) can be learned in a few years, reading to learn subject matter does not occur automatically -Should be emphasized from the beginning, rather than waiting until students have mastered the basics of reading -Instruction at all grade levels can benefit from showing students how reading is a process of making sense out of text, or constructing meaning
Story Structure (text comprehension classroom activity)
-The way content and events of a story are organized into a plot -Students who recognize this have greater appreciation, understanding, and memory for stories -In instruction, students learn to identify the categories of content (setting, initiating events, internal reactions, goals, attempts, and outcomes) and how this content is organized into a plot -Students often learn to recognize this through the use of story maps -Instruction in the content and organization of stories improves students comprehension and memory of stories
Open hostility toward the Chinese erupted
-They were blamed for most of the economic problems (backlash from the mining and railroad frontier) -The Chinese Exclusion Act was passed by federal Congress in 1882 (excluded Chinese from immigrating to the U.S.) -By 1877, politicians, newspapers, and citizens urged open agitation against the Chinese in California -The Workingmen's Party was established. It was nativist, anti-Chinese, and anti-big business (1877) ---It demanded a constitutional convention and populist-type reforms ---The California Constitution (1879) codified anti-Chinese legislation
The Transverse and Peninsular ranges

It is a complex region of active fault zones. Significant faults include the San Jacinto (near Palm Springs) and the Elsinore.
Spelling Inventory (reading assessment)
-Through examination of words spelled correctly and incorrectly, a student's skills can be classified into developmental spelling stages -In this way, skills are examined that directly tie to reading -This assists in planning appropriate spelling and reading instruction.

They wanted the colonies to help pay the debt. So they fought a war for independence. With Washington and help from France, the colonies won. First, under the Articles of Confederation, and then the Constitution.
Characteristics of medieval civilization during the late middle ages
-society based on strict class division: clergy and nobility were privileged class, peasants and artisans were the workforce, and serfs tied to land -decline of feudalism and manorialism (social system by which the peasants of medieval Europe were rendered dependent on their land and on their lord. Its basic unit was the manor, a self-sufficient landed estate, or fief, that was under the control of a lord who enjoyed a variety of rights over it and the peasants attached to it by means of serfdom-made feudalism possible) evident by 12th century, ending in 16th century -commercial revival led to the rise of towns -true middle class emerged -economic activities in the towns supervised by guild system (merchant and craft guilds) -crusades led to revival of international trade -education stressed liberal arts -theology infl. both religion and politics -univ. created in paris, oxford, cambridge in 11th and 12th cent. -latin-lang. of intellect. europe; vernacular used by 12th cent. -philosophy (scholasticism) dealt with consistency of faith and reason -architecture dominated by romanesque (11-12th) and gothic (12-15th cent) styles

...The House of Lords mainly consist of the peers and the people that have inherited their money. This House of Parliament has slowly lost its power to influence the system of government over the years.
Analyzing Prose Fiction/Narrative Fiction: tries to make point that goes beyond story itself **Prose lacks the more formal metrical structure of verse that can be found in traditional poetry. Prose comprises full grammatical sentences, which then constitute paragraphs while overlooking aesthetic appeal, whereas poetry often involves a metrical and/or rhyming scheme.

Implications of Teaching Phonics in the Classroom
1. Assess phonics and other word identification strategies. Select and use formal and informal tools such as decoding tests, fluency tests, and sight word checks to collect data, and analyze to plan instruction. 2. Plan instruction that is systematic, explicit, and sequenced according to the increased complexity of linguistic units including sounds, phonemes, onsets and rimes, letters, letter combination syllables, and morphemes. 3. Explicitly teach and model phonics, decoding, and other word identification strategies in reading for meaning. Positive explicit feedback for word identification errors is an essential strategy in this process. 4. Select and design resource material and strategies for assessment and instruction. Resources include materials for teaching decoding, word identification strategies, and sign word mastery in multiple and varied reading and writing experiences. 5. Provide fluency practice in a variety of ways: -Practice decoding and word-attack skills so that they become automatic in reading text. -Provide application and practice decoding skills to fluency in decodable (controlled vocabulary) text and word recognition skills taught out of context. -Continue to develop fluency through the use of decodable texts and other texts written at the student's instructional level. 6. Provide ongoing assessment to demonstrate the student's progress toward the mastery of State Standards.

Implications of Teaching Fluency Instruction in the Classroom
1. Teachers are good models of fluent reading. By listening, students learn how a reader's voice can help written text make sense. 2. Teachers should read aloud to students daily. 3. Teachers should help students practice orally rereading text that is reasonably easy for them (text containing mostly words they know or can decode easily). The texts should be at students' independent reading level and relatively short (probably 50-200 words) depending upon the age. 4. Teachers should assess to see if the text is at the students' independent reading level. Students should be able to read with about 95% accuracy (only 1 of every 20 words misread). If the text is more difficult, students will focus so much on word recognition that they will not have an opportunity to develop fluency. 5. Teachers use a variety of reading materials, including stories, nonfiction and poetry. Poetry is especially well suited to fluency practice because poems for children are often short and contain rhythm, rhyme, and meaning, making practice fun, easy and rewarding.
Implications of Teaching Phonological Awareness in the Classroom
1. Teachers help children identify and make oral rhymes. "The pig has a (wig)." "Pat the (cat)." "The sun is (fun)." 2. Teachers help children identify and work with syllables in spoken words: "I can clap the parts in my name: An-drew." 3. Teachers help children identify and work with onsets and rimes in spoken syllables or one-syllable words. "The first part of 'sip' is s-." "The last part of 'win' is -in."
Implications of Teaching Phonemic Awareness in the Classroom
1. Teachers help children recognize which words in a set of words begin with the same sound. ("Bell, bike, and boy all have /b/ at the beginning.") 2. Teachers help children isolate and say the first or last sound in a word. ("The beginning sound of dog is /d/." "The ending sound of sit is /t/.") 3. Teachers help children combine or blend separate sounds in a word to say the word ("/m/, /a/, /p/—map"). 4. Teachers help children break or segment a word into its separate sounds ("Up"—/u/,/p/).

(that is why this war was referred to as the war of attrition-to see who is going to outlast who) The south strategy was to surge into the north and try to take over some of those supply lines and trade routes and some of the manufacturing base that they had.

Basics of punctuation
Commas should be used to set off nonessential clauses and phrases, appositives (a second noun describing a proceeding noun), introductory clauses, and interrupting words or phrases. A good rule of thumb: if a phrase could be removed from sentence, and the sentence would still make grammatical sense, then that phrase should generally be separated by a comma. Commas should also be used to separate elements in a list or series of words. Semicolons are used to separate independent clauses when the separation is not done by a coordinating conjunction, or when the clauses are joined by a conjunctive adverb (such as "however" or "therefore") (ex: I went to the store; however, it was closed) semicolons are also used to separate independent clauses that are joined by a coordinating conjunction if there are commas in any of the clauses. They are also used to separate items in a series if there are commas within the items. (Ex: I went to the store and bought toys such as balls, blocks, stuffed animals; food such as grapes, bread, and meat.) A colon is used to introduce a quotation, and explanation, an example, or series, and is generally translated to mean "as follows" whether or not the phrase "as follows" actually appears within the sentence. A colon should not be used following any conjunction of the verb "to be".

Literary and structural elements
Concepts and conventions of text fall into two broad categories: literary elements and structural elements. Literary elements deal with the themes, characters, plot, and literary devices used by the author. Structural elements relate to the format in the linguistic devices employed by the author. Both literary and structural elements contribute to a works meaning.
Usage
Concerns itself with word order, verb tense, and subject-verb agreement.

Conflicts over slavery
Conflict over slavery between the north and the south created a growing rift in the United States. Several compromises were made to try to settle the disputes: •the Missouri compromise: as Missouri was going to come into the union it was going to offset the balance between free states and slave states. So what they agreed to do was split off a portion of the Massachusetts state and create the state of Maine and Maine would be a Free state and Missouri would be a slave state. For awhile that appeased everyone. •the compromise of 1850: this was when California was coming in as a state and it was very popular even back then and would have a lot of votes. So the compromise was at California would come in as a free state and that when New Mexico and Arizona became states they would have a choice of whether they wanted to be a free state or slave state. They also said there'd be very strict laws for capturing runaway slaves. •the Kansas-Nebraska Act: as they were coming in to join the union they were going to let them choose if they want to be free states or slave states but that was causing a lot of problems with the Northerners and the Southerners. It became clear that even with these attempts to compromise, abolitionists were getting stronger and there were clearly conflicts between the north and the south that might eventually create a split between. Events such as the Dred Scott decision(was about a slave who escaped to a free state but the owner wanted him back) and the election of Lincoln(he grew to become more of an abolitionist over time) further inflamed the nation.

Egypt
Egyptian civilization (3100-500 B.C.) A rose around the for tile Nile River Valley. Egypt is called the gift of the Nile. The Nile had very regular annual floods. (Located in Northern Africa) not only was the Nile a huge advantage because of its ability to provide crops it also allowed for transportation. Unlike Mesopotamia, Egypt was geographically isolated, with defensible borders, leading to the long periods of political stability. (Not easily conquered) Egyptian life centered around serving the Pharaoh, who was regarded as a living god. (Horas was the name of their God which is also a falcon). Egyptians worshiped a variety of other important gods as well, such as Rah, the son god, and Anubis, the god of the dead. Driven by their belief in afterlife, Egyptians mummified the dead and built mammoth pyramids to house them. (These pyramids are on of the seven wonders of the ancient world.) they made magnificent strides in architecture and engineering. Egyptians also made huge advances in mathematics, medicine, and developed one of the earliest writing systems, hieroglyphics. (Logographic writing system)

The toddlers were able to quickly decipher the meaning of beige when the researchers asked the children to "bring me the beige one." All of the children were able to differentiate (fast map) the two objects because of their familiarity with the color blue.)

Point of view
How the author or narrator sees his or her story. Stories can be written in 1st,(character in the story is telling it) 2nd (you are telling it), 3rd (they are removed, the narrator is telling the story but they aren't in it) person point of view, and narrators can be omniscient(knows everything; probably 3rd person pov) or limited(only knows what's going on with the main character; 1st person pov is almost always limited) , and reliable or unreliable.(with 1st person we often have to ask if they are reliable or not)
Usage
How you apply the rules of morphology, syntax, and semantics to your own writing and to analyzing and editing the writing of others. *There are a number of important usage concepts you should know for the tests. •Avoid sentence fragments (an incomplete sentence, which is usually missing a noun, verb, or other key pieces of information) •avoid faulty parallelism. (Clauses within a sentence should share the same tense and form. Inconsistencies, such as switching from an infinitive to a participle, lead to faulty parallelism.) •avoid amphibolies. (An amphiboly is an ambiguity in meaning, often caused by a misplaced, squinting, or dangling modifier)(ex: I voted for a candidate with the highest hopes; the highest hopes is the modifier but it's unclear who's hopes they're talking about) • avoid redundancy. "Redundancy is a form of wordiness in which you say the same thing over again twice." • ensure that subjects and verbs agree. Singular and plural subjects and verbs must match be careful not to be thrown off by sentences in which the subject follows the verb. (These sentences typically begin with "here" or "there".) •many, much, fewer, and less.. Be sure to use these words correctly. Many and fewer apply to countable items, while much and less apply to uncountable items. •either/or and neither/nor.. Or can be used independently, but nor must always be used in conjunction with neither. •avoid double negatives. Double negatives occur when to negative words are used in a sentence. They essentially cancel each other out. • avoid comparisons of unlike things. Example: "his test score was much higher than the other students." (It is comparing the scores to the students)

Revolutionary war
Important reasons for the declaration of independence: •tariffs(taxes on imports)(stamp act)(tax on tea)(colonists fought this which is how the boston tea party came about) •Lack of representation( no taxation without representation) •Quartering of british soliders (there originally quartered because of British expansion, they needed to house troops to control the different areas, later they sent troops to those areas because they knew the colonist wanted to break away from Britain-to new york and boston, The citizens were taunting the troops and so the troops fired on the citizens and killed 5 people which turned into the •Boston Masscre •The intolerable Acts( to punish the colonists for there protests such as things like the Boston tea party, The British passed what the colonist called the intolerable acts. They closed the port of Boston, they gave increased power to the British royal governor, expanded the requirements of colonists to house and feed soldiers Who were there essentially to keep the colonists in control and prevent them from rebelling)
Onset and Rime (smaller than syllables but larger than phonemes)
In a syllable, the onset is the initial consonant or consonants, and the rime is the vowel and any consonants that follow it (e.g., the word sat, the onset is "s" and the rime is "at". In the word flip, the onset is "fl" and the rime is "ip").

(Carthage a place in Northern Africa that had a great deal of power, one of their successful military leaders, Hannibal, battled with the Romans and had a lot of success battling with the Romans but eventually the Romans were able to conquer them after several Punic wars; that solidified the Roman control over the Mediterranean) The Romans borrowed a lot of their gods from the Greeks (just changing their names), they borrowed their architecture, and they copied their artist styles. Roman society was divided into patricians(upper class,nobility, or aristocrats), plebeians(commoners), and slaves. Under the republic(the representatives represent the people, usually by district), the seat of Roman government was the senate(to be a senate you had to be from the patrician class; however the commoners still had representation.)

Stages of language development
Language development is highly variable, but series such as Roger Brown's five stages can be useful indicators when evaluating whether a child's language development is normal or exceptional(below or above the norm). The following outline is drawn from Brown's work as well as the work of a number of other language development theorists, and lists important and widely-accepted developmental milestones that are good to know for the test. Ages 0-12 months: during the early 1st stage, infants exhibit vocalizations in the form of cooing and crying and later begin to develop a pattern speech in which they repeat certain phonemes in the form of consonant-vowel strings. (Ex: ma ma ma ma) Age 12-26 months/approx. 1-2 years old: early in the toddler phase(12-18 months) toddlers typically speak their first words, which tend to be simple and monosyllabic. They usually communicate using holophrases(single word used to communicate an entire meaning "food" means I am hungry) During the late toddler phase (1 1/2-2 years), toddlers typically begin to utilize forms of the verb "to be", and begin incorporating articles, prepositions, and conjunctions. Toddlers often communicate using telegraphic speech. (When they typed in telegraphs they wouldnt include all the words to save time/energy- "sheriff arrives noon") Toddlers use present tense only and the first person subject pronoun. Questions are signaled by intonation and later in the form "what+X+doing/going". "No" and "not" are added to sentence structure. During this phase, children typically error in both underextending and overextending word meanings.(dog-schema 4 legs and furry; they see a cow say doggy- that's overextending)(dog-there's is a lab, they see a poodle and don't know it's a dog-underextending) Ages 27 months-4 years: in early childhood, children begin to use quasi-model verbs such as "wanna." Children typically begin private speech(talking to themselves). Future tense begins to be used, as well as the articles "a"and "the". Auxiliary form used in questions such as "I can't go?", and later inversion occurs "Can't I go?" Past tense is used, and coordinating and subordinating conjunction's such as "and", "or", and "but" are used correctly. Children begin to understand that multiple adjectives can be applied to one noun. Late in this period, plurals emerge and possessives are acquired (thats dad's car) question words such as "who, which, when, how, and why" emerge. Children begin to speak about things not present. Ages 4-7 years old: children begin to utilize negative pronouns such as "nothing". An understanding of syntax is developed. Children begin to understand metaphors. Though speech becomes more adult-like, children may still commit speech errors such as over-regularization (ex: mouses) * if a pupils language development does not fall within these basic parameters, his language development may be exceptional. However, it is important to distinguish between identifying features and social/cultural factors that may be contributory, as well as whether the student is learning English as a second language.
Language development
Language is often confused with the ability to speak, but language is not speech. The ability to use language does not hinge on hearing or speaking words. Language is a communication system based on native rules and symbols (grammar and words) that carry meaning to children. For example, deaf children who fully participate in expressive and receptive sign language at home show the same cognitive development advances as hearing children.

Krashen's Second Language Acquisition Theory
Linguistic scholar Stephen Krashen hypothesized that primary language acquisition is an unconscious mental process. On the other hand, when ELL students learn a second language, they must consciously participate in the learning experience to study the rules, conventions, and patters of the second language. (Primary language acquisition is an implicit, unconscious mental process, whereas secondary language acquisition is an explicit, conscious mental process.)
The biological model
Linguists Noam Chomsky and the late Eric Lenneberg argued for a biological model of language acquisition called nativism. Nativism theorizes that children have innate, language-specific abilities that facilitate and constrain language learning. (They believe there are specific parts of the brain dedicated to speak-there is evidence to support that). Many nativists also believe that children have a critical period during which they are best able to acquire language skills. (Children are sponges when they are young)
Meaning
Literal meaning: A strict, direct meaning of a word or phrase Figurative meaning: Emblematic and is often derived from a metaphor or simile. When searching for meaning, be sure to identify symbols(ex: describes a mans(who's wife just died) day, and as he is going through out his day he has a creature hanging on his back, the creature is a symbol, it's not literal) within the text, and also consider whether the work may be allegorical(most are not; everything in the work stands in for something else). Also look for and consider both implicit and explicit themes.
Mesoamerica(middle America) (Maya)
Located in central America, and were farming culture, corn, though they were also hunters and gatherers. Their culture was influenced by the Olmec, where they took their writing and math systems and improved them, and they lived in great cities such as Teotihuacanm, where they erected monuments called stelae that recorded important events.

Going west
Manifest destiny-The idea of wanting to expand to the west and that it was justified and inevitable. U.S. Territorial acquisition: majority of the east (Territory of the 13 colonies) expanding west there was the Louisiana purchase(which was pretty much a nice chunk in the center of the US)( purchase by Thomas Jefferson from the French, they had given this land to the Spanish to compensate them for the Florida region after the French and Indian war, but the Spanish said it was too hard for them to manage so they gave it back to the French but the French didn't want to manage it either so they sold it to the US which almost doubled the United States land holdings) The predominately Texas area was gained during the annexation of the Texas republic; Texas was part of Mexico but disagreed with Mexican rule so they seceded from Mexico and became their own country, the republic of Texas, but then decided to join the US and became a state. Then going to the California region (Ca, Nv, Az, Utah) it became part of the United States after the US won the Mexican American war, and signed the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. They tried to buy the land before the war but Mexico refused so after the war US force them to sell it for a cheaper price. Then later they got the Oregon territory by signing a treaty with Britain.

The social/functional model
Non-nativists such as Elizabeth Bates and Catherine Snow argue that there is no specific biological "hardwiring" for language, and instead support a psychological and social/functional model of language acquisition. They believe that language abilities develop out of general cognitive abilities and social interactions with fellow learners and the surrounding community. (Ex: they would argue that if a child was raised by wolves they wouldn't develop language because wolves aren't using it. This has evidential support as well with cases where children were extremely neglected and never learned to talk. * many modern theories have come to support the idea that both biological and social pre-conditions contribute to language development.

PROTAGONIST is a central character. the ANTAGONIST is the force against the protagonist. CONFLICT-the problem that occurs during the story. It has some kind of resolution by the end of the story
Verb Forms
PRESENT tense PAST tense FUTURE tense PRESENT PERFECT Tense-shows action that began in the past, but continues into the present. I have walked to work all week PAST PERFECT tense-shows an action was finished before another took place. I have walked all week until I sprained my ankle FUTURE PERFECT Tense-shows an action that will be completed at some point in the future. By the time the bus arrives, I will have walked to work already
The Writing Process
PREWRITING-drafting, planning, researching, and brainstorming of ideas WRITING REVISING-adding to, removing, rearranging, re-writing sections EDITING-analyzing and correcting mistakes PUBLISHING-distributing the finished product
Primary and Secondary Sources
PRIMARY SOURCES refer to first-hand accounts of events, a subject matter, an individual, or a time period. They can also be non-interpretive, factual pieces of information. SECONDARY SOURCES refer to the analysis or interpretation of primary sources and are, therefore, usually considered more subjective than objective.
Organizational Structure
PROBLEM/SOLUTION-organized by an analysis/overview of a problem, followed by potential solution CAUSE/EFFECT-organized by the effects resulting from a cause or the causes of a particular effect SPATIAL ORDER-organized by points that suggest location or direction CHRONOLOGICAL/SEQUENCE ORDER-organized by points presented to indicate a passage of time or through purposeful steps/stages COMPARISON/CONTRAST-organized by points that indicate similarities and/or differences between 2 things or concepts ORDER OF IMPORTANCE-organized by priority of points, often most significant to least significant or vice versa.
Persian Empire (500-300 B.C.)
Persia ranked among the world's greatest empires. Through conquest, the Persians attempted to unify the entire near east. They were a massive empire that conquered a lot of land (if Greece is included in the area that was conquered then it is referring to Alexander the Great; the Persian empire did not conquer Greece) It was called the land or arans (which is where we get the name Iran today) Persians believed in gods of nature, sun god..they practice Zoroastrianism, and ethics based religion.
Phonemic Awareness Instructional Strategies
Phoneme isolation - Teacher will ask the student to isolate individual sounds (phonemes) in words. Phoneme identity - Teacher will ask the student to identify a common sound among different words. Phoneme classification - Teacher will ask the student to identify the word that sounds different and "does not belong" among the choices. Phoneme substitution - Teacher will ask the student to replace a phoneme in a word (beginning, middle, or ending sounds) with another phoneme to form a new word. Phoneme segmenting (orally separating sounds) - Teacher will say a word aloud and the student will count out the number of phonemes by breaking up the word into individual sounds. Phoneme blending (orally blending sounds) - Teacher will say each phoneme segment sound of a word and they student will combine the sounds to identify the words.
Teaching literacy
Phonics approach: emphasizes learning phonemes to sound out words (decoding: they are able to sound out the words based on understanding the letters and the sounds that go with it, and when they put the sounds together they can recognize the word from their oral vocabulary)(the strength of the phonics approach is it allows children to decode unknown words as long as they are spelt phonetically) (Disadvantage: a lot of words are not spelt phonetically) Whole language approach: emphasizes reading immersion techniques to help familiarize students with the irregularities in English spellings. (Word walls and word sorts are used in WLA, this approach also uses high frequency reading selections)(weakness of this approach is they don't allow children to sound out words)
Phonological awareness
Phonological awareness is a "listening skill" that typically develops in pre-kindergarten. It is the ability to hear, think about, and manipulate sounds. When children are competent in phonological awareness, they know that: 1) sounds make up words; 2) sounds can be manipulated into new words; 3) words can be separated into individual sounds, syllables, and rhymes; and 4) words have meaning. Phonological awareness is important because if children can relate sounds to printed words, they can begin to decode and make sense of how sounds and letters are organized in print. Note: Phonological awareness and phonemic awareness are not interchangeable. Phonemic awareness is "one" component of phonological awareness.
Radical reconstruction
Physical and ideological reconstruction of the south after the war. (after the war the north was wanting the south to reconstruct to their guidelines) (The radicals wanted to force military pressure on the south to do what they're supposed to and the moderates wanted to just give them the guidelines and let them be in control) Johnson was impeached for opposing the radicals, who favored a military occupation of the defeated south. Under reconstruction, many northerners moved to the south to start businesses. They were resented by southerners and referred to as carpetbaggers and scalawags.

3 greatest thinkers of the Greek Classic Age::
Plato, Aristotle, Socrates
Pluralization and conjugation
Pluralization is typically when you add an S at the end of a word but often times there are irregularities and kids will typically try and over regularize the pluralization of a word. for example: it's not mouses it's mice. Conjugation had irregulars as well and defy the rules of morphology. Important verb tenses to know are present (I do), past (I did), and past participle (I have done) typically when it has have it is a past participle but not always.

Stages of writing
Pre writing: gather ideas and details, this can be done through research, brainstorming, or note-taking, then they will begin to select and organize these ideas and details through techniques like outlining and webbing. During this phase, the writer will also develop a purpose or thesis. Writing: communicates and fleshes out the ideas outlined during prewriting. Along the way they may develop new ideas. During writing, the writer implements convention such as paragraphing, utilizes appropriate vocabulary, and attempts to create a cohesive flow through the use of transitions. The specific conventions utilize will depend on context and genre. Revising and editing: (revising) a writer will attempt to clarify and refine the purpose or thesis as well as the supporting details. (Editing) a writer will examine organization, transitional phrases, point-of-view, word-choices, etc., lastly they will proofread their work to ensure that conventions of language have been properly applied.
Stages of Second Language Acquisition
Preproduction: period when second language students begin to internalize the English language. Students have minimal or no language and comprehension skills. Early production: a period when students have limited comprehension and language skills, but can speak familiar one or two word responses. Speech emergence: students have increased comprehension and language abilities. Students begin to produce simple sentences and phrases, but some basic errors in grammar and speech exist. Intermediate fluency: a period when students have an advanced command of the English language and comprehension. Students combine phrases and sentences and have a good command of oral and written communication. Advance fluency: Students have competency in English oral and written communication. Students should be participating fully in grade-level classroom activities.
Fall of the Roman empire
Problems such as political instability, mercenary armies, inflation, excessive taxation, decreased agricultural production, and division over the rise of Christianity weekend the Roman empire, and continuous barbarian invasions eventually devastated Rome. (It over expanded which made it hard to control and they didn't have the armies to keep people in line.) (So they would hire mercenaries (people who were paid to fight, no loyalty) to pay for the armies they had to raise taxes, they also had agricultural problems. (Bit by bit over about a century the barbarians picked apart the Roman Empire.) once it fell it was the end of the ancient civilization and the start of medieval times/Middle Ages) (the eastern Roman Empire continued after this but the western Roman Empire is what fell.) The fall of Rome in the late 400s AD marked the end of ancient civilization.
The French Republic

Protestant Puritanism: a religious reform movement in the late 16th and 17th centuries that sought to "purify" the Church of England of remnants of the Roman Catholic "popery" that the Puritans claimed had been retained after the religious settlement reached early in the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. Puritans became noted in the 17th century for a spirit of moral and religious earnestness that informed their whole way of life, and they sought through church reform to make their lifestyle the pattern for the whole nation. Their efforts to transform the nation contributed both to civil war in England and to the founding of colonies in America as working models of the Puritan way of life.

Spelling Development
SEMIPHONETIC STAGE-Letters represent sounds. Letter recognition may not be fully developed. Letters may be used to represent entire words (U for you). Syllables may also be omitted from writing. Writing is unreadable. Drawings are asked to be used to supplement meaning PHONETIC STAGE-Students have mastered letter-sound correspondences. Letter may be written backwards or upside-down, but phonetic spellers can write all letters of the alphabet. Irregular words are spelled incorrectly. Spelling instruction of consonant patterns, short vowel sounds, common affixes and rimes can begin in this stage TRANSITIONAL STAGE-Students have developed a small sight vocabulary and a solid understanding of letter-sound correspondences. Spelling dependency on phonics has decreased. Spelling irregular words also increases. Students may still struggle with long vowel sounds. Differentiation among student instruction should begin in this phase. CONVENTIONAL STAGE-Students should have strong sight word vocabulary recognition and ability to read fluently and with comprehension. They can deal with phonics, vowel-consonant blends, HOMOPHONES (words that sound the same but have different spelling meanings), and irregular spelling.
Types of Sentences
SIMPLE Sentence-sentence that has just one independent clauses COMPOUND Sentence-sentence that has 2 or more independent, the clauses are connected by a comma and a coordinating conjunction COMPLEX Sentence-sentence has just one independent clause and includes one or more dependent clauses COMPOUND COMPLEX Sentence-sentence has 2 or more independent clauses and at least 1 dependent clause
Pronoun Cases
SUBJECTIVE pronouns are the subjects of the sentence (I, you, (s)he/it, who) OBJECTIVE pronouns are used when something is being done for or given to someone; they are objects of the action (me, him/her, them, whom) POSSESSIVE pronouns are used to denote that something belongs to someone (mine, my your, yours, theirs) If the answer is he, use WHO. If the answer is him, use WHOM.

Second Chinese dynasty (about 1750-1122 B.C.) which was mostly a farming society ruled by an aristocracy mostly concerned with war. They're best remembered for their art of bronze casting. Didn't emphasize religion (like modern day China)
Acquisition of Subsequent Language
Second language is L2. Pre-production (silent stage) is when the learned is exposed to the new language, but lacks skills to communicate. Body language and non-verbal expressions are used in this stage. Speech emergence comes next, where learners make simple sentences and minor grammar errors. Intermediate fluency is when students begin to gain skills in academic or idiomatic language, demonstrate higher comprehension, and make fewer mistakes in expression. Advanced fluency is achieved when speakers exhibit near-native expressive and comprehensive skills.
3 types of sentences:
Simple: 1 subject, 1 predicate simple, compound, complex I play on the ground. Jack and Jill went up the hill. The teacher is in the classroom. Compound: 2+ simple sentences joined together Only one of the seven coordinating conjunctions (and, for, but, nor, yet, so, or) can be used to connect these independent clauses. In the absence of this conjunction, you can make use of a semi-colon. Some of the examples of compound sentences are: I ran quickly, but I missed the bus. The wife cooked, and the husband cleaned the dishes. It was raining heavily so I closed the doors. There was a terror alert in the city; curfew was announced with immediate effect. Complex: main clause (subject+verb) and subordinate/dependent clause The subordinating conjunctions that connect the dependent clause with the independent clause can be words like although, though, since, therefore, whenever, wherever, when, which, so that, until, after, before, because, if, etc. Some of the examples of complex sentences are: I feel sleepy whenever I take a book. My car stopped at the school building, which was red and huge. When your doctor tells you something, listen to him fully. I wore a sweater because the weather was too cold. Compound-Complex: has at least two independent clauses and at least one dependent clause. He went to the market | because he needed more milk, | and | then he made pudding. Kate doesn't like cartoons because they are loud, so she doesn't watch them.
Pragmatics
Situational context, verbal tone, body language, knowledge and belief of the speaker, and the relationship between the speaker and the listener are all factors that can contribute to how the meaning of a word, clause, or sentence is interpreted. (All the factors besides the words themselves)(ex: "he's a nice guy" said sincerely; "he's a nice guy said sarcastically) *most language learners develop intuitive sense of these rules through observation. The rules of this can vary greatly between cultures. (Ex: how close you stand to someone when you speak to them, standing too close in some cultures is rude and in others its normal)
Feudalism
Someone pledges military services for land(land was called a fief) (a vassal's/knight pledge to serve a lord was in exchange for a fief) (a lord and vassal would pledge their fealty in a ceremony called homage.) (when a vassal died, his fief would typically pass to his eldest so, a system called primogeniture; but only if the son took over the vassal's duties.)
Pronoun
Something that stands in place of another noun (ex: I, he, she, it, they, him, her)
Phonemes
Sound or a group of sounds that differentiate one word from another in a spoken language.

Implications of Teaching Reading Comprehension in the Classroom
Strategies for teachers to help students improve reading comprehension (first 4 are primary strategies): -ask questions about the text they are reading -ask students to summarize parts of the text -help students clarify words and sentences they don't understand -ask students to predict what might occur next in the text -talk about the content -model, or "think aloud," about their own thinking and understanding -lead students in a discussion about text meaning -help students relate the content of their reading to their life experiences and to other texts they have read
Rime
String of letters that follows the onset
Defining features of text in 6th-8th grade
Structure grows and complexity. Comprehend multiple levels of meaning, perspectives and themes. Ability to identify and comprehend implicit purpose, figurative meaning, and perspectives unlike one's own. Gradual growth within this grade range. (Ex: man in slavery)
Defining features of text for 2nd-3rd grade
Structure is simple, related in chronological order, and in a common genre with everyday experience or clearly fantastical plots. Ability to identify and comprehend explicit purpose, single complex theme OR simple, multiple themes and perspectives. Introduction to literacy devices, figurative meaning, and perspectives unlike one's own. Gradual growth within this age range. (Ex: camel story)
Derivational Relations Stage
Students learn how spelling relates to meaning.
Monitoring Comprehension (text comprehension classroom activity)
Students who are good at this know when they understand what they read and when they do not. They have strategies to "fix" problems in their understanding as the problems arise: -Identify where the difficulty occurs -Identify what the difficulty is -Restate the difficult sentence or passage in their own words -Look back through the text -Look forward in the text for information that might help them to resolve the difficulty
Phonology
Study of how speech sounds in a language are organized to make words. These patterns of sounds include the study of- PHONEMES-single units of sounds SYLLABLES-vowel sounds heard within a word STRESS or ACCENT-emphasis on a sound or syllable within a word INTONATION-variation of tone or pitch in words PHONETICS-study of isolated sounds in words Phonology-studies how sounds change in syllables, words, and sentences Phonetics focus on a single speech sound.
Morphology
Study of words. It explores how words are formed using morphemes, words or parts of words that contain their own meaning (cupcake).
Ming Dynasty
Succeeded Mongol Yuan dynasty in China in 1368; lasted until 1644; initially mounted huge trade expeditions to southern Asia and elsewhere, but later concentrated efforts on internal development within China. rulers forbade sea travel to foreign lands rulers launched campaign to stamp out remnants of Mongols
Preposition

Assessment
Teachers assess aural (listening)and oral (speaking) language skills through a variety of exercises such as listening/summarizing and verbally describing objects and events. In reading, teachers assess foundational knowledge through phonics, phonemic awareness, and alphabet test, and may also ask students to explain concepts of print. Further skills are assessed through contextual and non-contextual word recognition inventories and oral reading inventories. To test vocabulary, students may be asked to define words or use them correctly in a sentence. Spelling skills are tested through spelling inventories in which words are read aloud and students are asked to spell them by applying phonemic awareness, morphology, and memory/recognition skills. When assessing students, it is important to take into consideration differences in learners, including possible physical hearing and/or speech impairments, as well as relevant learning disorder such as dyslexia.
whole language approach
Teaching reading by encouraging early use of all language skills-talking and listening, reading and writing. An approach to reading instruction based on the idea that instruction should parallel children's natural language learning. Reading materials should be whole and meaningful.
Telegraphic speech
Telegraphic speech is an early form of speech and can be observed when a toddler selectively omits or simplifies words in a phrase or sentence to communicate his message. (Example: "no...hot" meaning "the food is too hot to eat").

Background to the American Revolution
The English mercantile policy discouraged colonial economic independence. Colonial concepts of political and economic freedom were key factors leading to the American Revolution. The colonies tried petitions, boycotts and other measures to try to change British actions. Colonial opposition to British actions steadily increased during this period The Dec. of Ind. stated the purposes for the colonies break with England
Slave trade
The Europeans desire for tobacco and cotton and the southern desire for cheap plantation labor, led to the African slave trade. The Europeans would sail down to Africa and buy or kidnap slaves and then bring them to the Americas, typically the south, and sell them for tobacco and cotton and then bring that back to Europe. The middle passage was the brutal and inhumane portion of the triangular trade route in which African slaves were brought to America
First Continental Congress
The First Continental Congress convened on September 5, 1774, to protest the Intolerable Acts. The congress endorsed the Suffolk Resolves, voted for a boycott of British imports, and sent a petition to King George III, conceding to Parliament the power of regulation of commerce but stringently objecting to its arbitrary taxation and unfair judicial system.

The Heian Era commenced in 794, and was a time when Japan gradually stopped imitating China, developing into a distinct new culture. The new culture mixed both Chinese and Japanese cultures, combining the faiths of China, Shintoism, and Buddhism. A new writing system called kana was simplified from the Chinese writing into a phonetic Japanese alphabet. By the twelfth century a warrior class called samurais dominated the Heian region. However, the warloads did not take over the emperor's position, but instead took a more serious lead position and became the shogun, controller of Japan's armies.

Overall, what was the main impact of the mission system on Native Americans?
The Native Americans became dependent; the population was reduced by 75%
North America
The North Americans in North America would typically polytheistic and were primarily hunters, and gathers, and fishers though some farm does well. Many were nomadic. Small groups called bands typically comprised larger groups called tribes, and some tribes united to form large federations, such as the Iroquois nation. However in North America, there were no states and empires like the ones found in Central and South America. Groups adapted to the regions in which they lived, building different structures, such as long houses and earth lodges.
Phoenicians (2900 B.C.-600 A.D.)
The Phoenicians were maritime colt sure which dominated Mediterranean trade, importing and exporting a variety of goods. (They had this purple die which was very rare which made it very expensive which is why royalty is associated with the color purple). Phoenicians also developed an extremely influential alphabet.(they didn't create it but sort of adopted it from other places and made it into want it was-22 consonants) The sea is very important to them.

Pragmatics
The ability to engage in conversational speech (allowing time for response). Pragmatics studies ways in which the context of verbal and nonverbal communication can change the meaning of communication and comprehension. When communicating, the meaning of language can change depending upon the context, the relationship between people, and other social/cultural factors (i.e., second-language learners). Pragmatics and language development work hand-in-hand to produce meaningful language-based comprehension.
Phonemic Awareness
The ability to hear, identify,and manipulate the individual sounds, phonemes, in oral language.
Phonemic Awareness
The ability to identify and manipulate the sounds in spoken words. Phonics. Letter-sound correspondences.
Automaticity
The ability to read and recognize a word or series of words in text accurately and effortlessly. Skilled readers use automaticity unconsciously or involuntarily when reading text.
Dawes Severalty Act
The act passed with the intent to assimilate Native Americans into mainstream of American life by dissolving tribes as legal entities and eliminating tribal ownership of land.
Plot
The action or events of the story. Novels have extremely complicated plots, with multiple subplots, whereas children's literature and folktales tend to have simple plots. A plot typically begins with exposition(learn about the setting and characters), followed by an inciting incident(starts the main conflict of the story), which leads to rising action (including reversal-protagonist has upper hand, then antagonist does and back and forth- and reveals), then resolves with the climax(someone wins), often followed by a dénouement. (Some have it some don't, where the info gets wrapped up.)
Alphabetic Principle
The alphabetic principle defines the three rules for writing and speaking English: 1) letters are named with uppercase and lowercase letters, 2) each letter or group of letters (words) represents sounds(s), and 3) using the systematic relationship between letters and phonemes (letter-sound correspondence), you can decode the English language to identify, pronounce, and spell words.
Semantics
The analysis and study of meanings of words, phrases, and sentences. This is useful as a strategy in decoding to analyze the word that "sounds" correct in a sentence.
Social Darwinism
The application of ideas about evolution and "survival of the fittest" to human societies - particularly as a justification for their imperialist expansion.
Meter
The arrangement of words in a certain rhythmic measure, based on their number of syllables and emphasis. (The beat that is created in the way it's being used) (ex: iambic pentameter-green eggs and ham) Structural principles include series, contrast, and repetition. Structural units include scenes, acts, chapters, lines, and stanzas.
Articles of confederation vs. the constitution
The articles of Confederation(grouping together of states) came before the constitution and were created as a wartime document, and were too limited to serve as a basis for government. It was aimed at settling three main issues. 1. Raising an army. 2. Fund the war efforts. 3. Resolve territorial disputes. Constitution established the US government as it exists today, and attempted to protect citizens freedom through the bill of rights(the first 10 amendments) US government: •legislative branch- comprised of congress-is bicameral(two houses)(we have two because in the House of Representatives it's based on population and in the senate it's based on two representatives for each state) (The legislative branch makes the laws) •Executive branch-President and his cabinets(The executive branch enforces the laws) •judicial branch-supreme court and all the lower courts(did judicial branch interprets the laws) (A Bill can get passed by both the House of Representatives and the Senate and get passed down to the president, if he approves it it becomes a law if he doesn't want to he has veto power.

How to Calculate Fluency
Total words read - errors = words correct per minute 1. Select 2 or 3 brief passages from appropriate grade-level material (regardless of students' instructional levels). 2. Have individual students read each passage aloud for exactly 1 minute. 3. Count the total number of words the student read for each passage. Compute the average number of words read per minute. 4. Count the number of errors the student made on each passage. Compute the average number of errors per minute. 5. Subtract the average number of errors read per minute from the average total number of words read per minute. The result is the average number of words correct per minute (WCPM). 6. Repeat the procedure several times during the year. Graphing students' WCPM throughout the year easily captures their reading growth. 7. Compare the results with published norms/standards to determine whether students are making suitable progress in their fluency. Example: According to one published norm, students should be reading approx. 60 words per minute correctly by the end of 1st grade, 90 to 100 by the end of 2nd grade, and 114 by the end of 3rd grade.

Because of conquests by Alexander the Great of Macedonia, Hellenistic civilization flourished from Central Asia to the western end of the Mediterranean Sea. Classical Greek culture, especially philosophy, had a powerful influence on the Roman Empire, which carried a version of it to many parts of the Mediterranean Basin and Europe, for which Classical Greek is generally considered to be the seminal culture which provided the foundation of modern Western culture.

Tang Dynasty (618-907)
is considered another golden age of Chinese culture: during the Tang period important poets such as Li Bai (or Li Po) and Du Fu lived and the printing press was invented. The Tang dynasty, which reunited China after the collapse of the short-lived Sui dynasty, was ruled by the Li family and its capital was at Chang'an (modern day Xi'an). Its first ruler, like the founder of the Han Dynasty, used the title of Emperor Gaozu. Gaozu forced by his second son, Li Shimin (later Emperor Taizong), to abdicate after Li Shimin killed two of his brothers in an ambush. Despite his bloody path to power, Taizong is considered to be one of the greatest rulers in Chinese history, subjugating much of what is now western China and parts of central Asia. After his death, power came to be concentrated in the hands of Empress Wu. Empress Wu (or Wu Zetian), the only woman to become emperor of China, called her rule the "Second Zhou dynasty." Wu was a notable supporter of Buddhism and promoted the imperial examination, but succession troubles resulted in the premature end of her dynasty. During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong, the An Lushan rebellion (also called An Shi rebellion) wrecked the foundations of the Tang dynasty. Although it was suppressed, the An Lushan rebellion concentrated power in the hands of regional military overlords. The dynasty had a tumultuous end in 907 that marked the beginning of the Five dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. Turkish incursions halted and Chinese influence grew to include Korea and N.

Identifying types of phrases
when trying to identify the type of phrase, look for the most important word in the phrase, called the head word. Typically, this will coincide with the function of the phrase. Examples: "Full of bubbles" the head word is bubbles which is a noun so this is a noun phrase "Over the hill" the head word is over, this is usually used to say someone is past something, obstacle, age... So this is a prepositional phrase "Jump up and down" the head word is jump so this is a verb phrase. Occasionally, a phrases headword will not coincide with its function. So also think about how the phrase would be used in a sentence before deciding on its type. Example: "The rich" this could be referring to a group of people, an object like chocolate, so it is a noun phrase but there are no nouns in it. the is an article and rich is an adjective (it is typically used to describe something)
