Crazy Words Explained - By IkenEdu

Transcript


00:05	logic of English is partnering with the fourth grade classes
00:08	at Jefferson Elementary School to create a series of videos
00:11	called Crazy Words , Crazy words or words that have
00:15	what we think are exceptions or things that don't make
00:19	sense to us about why the red and spelled in
00:21	a particular manner . Students have boxes that look just
00:25	like this in their classrooms , and they're putting words
00:27	in here that they have questions about . And each
00:30	week I will choose five of those words and explain
00:32	them together with you . So the first word is
00:36	crazy , and Isabel chose the word crazy . And
00:40	as we explore these words , I want you to
00:43	sound them out with me as I write them on
00:46	the board . So go ahead and help me ,
00:49	right ? Crazy . I'll actually before we begin .
00:52	I also want you to tell me how many syllables
00:54	in Cray zee two . Very good . So let's
00:57	sounded out together , Okay ? Uh huh . A
01:02	second syllable z z e . And why did the
01:07	a say its long sound in crazy ? You're right
01:11	, because it's at the end of the syllable .
01:13	And what's the rule ? E O U usually say
01:17	their names at the end of the syllable . And
01:21	here we have a Y . What are the four
01:23	sounds of ? Why , yeah , if I e
01:27	And the rule is that why says Long E on
01:31	lee at the end of a multi syllable word .
01:35	Multi syllable means more than one syllable . So here
01:38	we have crazy . And the why is saying it's
01:41	long e sound at the end of this multi syllable
01:45	word . The next word is phonics , and Gwen
01:49	chose the Gwen chose the word phonics . How many
01:53	syllables and fawn x two The first syllable is fawn
01:58	. And , um , go ahead and sounded out
02:01	with me . Uh huh hm . And the second
02:06	syllable is X it And how would we Mark ?
02:12	Phonics will underline this two letter , and this two
02:17	letter is a clue to us that this word comes
02:20	from Greek . Does anybody know what the root fond
02:24	means ? Well , I'll let you think about it
02:28	, because the next word will actually be related to
02:31	this one . The next word is telephone and telephone
02:35	was chosen by Jada and by Trinity . So how
02:39	many syllables ? And tell e phone three and let's
02:46	go ahead and sound them out together . The first
02:48	syllable is tell . Ah , old the second syllable
02:54	is E , and the third syllable is phone .
03:00	Oh hmm . Silent Final E . And how will
03:05	we mark telephone ? We'll put a line over the
03:08	e . And why did the e say its name
03:11	? E . O . U usually say their names
03:14	at the end of the syllable . Well , underline
03:16	the and then why did the O say its name
03:20	and telephone because of the silent final E ? And
03:25	the rule is the vowel . Sound changes because of
03:28	the E . Now you'll notice phonics and telephone have
03:33	the same route . They have the phone , Um
03:36	uh , route . And here it's pronounced phone .
03:39	And here it's fun . But phone or fond means
03:42	sound . And a telephone is something that communicates sound
03:48	across distance , a telegraph , a telegram , they
03:52	go across the distance . And then phonics is all
03:56	about sounds . The next word is efficient . How
04:02	many syllables in F 50 cent three and by the
04:08	way , efficient was chosen by Laureen . So let's
04:12	sound out each syllable syllable by syllable . The first
04:14	syllable is f A . Uh , the second syllable
04:19	is fit it . And the third syllable is she
04:23	sent H ? Mm hmm . And how will we
04:30	mark efficient ? Well , underline this , Uh ,
04:33	this is one of the three Latin spellings of used
04:37	in the middle of the word and at the beginning
04:39	of the syllable in the middle of the word .
04:41	And then we have an I I want you to
04:44	notice this iess saying it inefficient . And the rule
04:49	is I And why may say , or I at
04:53	the end of the syllable . The last word for
04:57	today was actually very interesting to me . And he
05:00	chose the word rogue , meaning a villain . And
05:04	he actually asked a question . He says , Why
05:07	does he owe you make a long o sound ?
05:10	And why is there a silent E ? Now ?
05:13	What's interesting about Glenn's question is he actually misspelled rogue
05:17	. So I'm going to show you first how to
05:20	spell Rogue . And then I'm going to show you
05:22	the word that he spelled and how you can know
05:24	the difference . So the word rogue is spelled like
05:27	this . Let's send it out together . Earth .
05:30	Oh , good . Silent Final E . This is
05:36	Rogue . And here we have an o saying it's
05:39	long sound . Do you know why ? Because of
05:41	this silent final e And then we also have this
05:46	two letter good phone a gram . This is the
05:48	photograph that says Guagua and in Row gets Xanga .
05:52	And there's a second reason for a silent final E
05:56	in the word rogue . There's to make the vowel
05:59	say it's long sound and then also because English words
06:02	do not end in I u V or J .
06:05	So whenever we have a you at the end of
06:07	the word , we must have a silent final E
06:10	So this is rogue now . Um , Glenn misspelled
06:14	the word and this is what Glenn wrote . And
06:27	does anyone know what this says ? This actually says
06:30	rouge . And it's a French word that means blush
06:33	or a slightly red color . And here the ,
06:37	um oh , uh , is saying its third sound
06:40	do Oh , and we have the G before a
06:46	silent final E Now G may soften Tioga before a
06:50	e i r y . And here it would be
06:53	saying something like Rouge Rouge , the soft sound .
06:57	But when we blend it together , it has that
07:00	sound to it rouge . And I believe this may
07:03	also be a French spelling , um , of that
07:06	sound a T end of the word . I hope
07:09	you're able to join us for our next set of
07:11	crazy words . And we have some great ones already
07:15	in store for you .
