Are you a cracker-jack speller? Or, does the subject of spelling produce a groan? Most people struggle with spelling. Likely it is because they were not taught to picture the word before spelling it. Charlotte Mason, an English educational reformer, had one of the best ideas I have come across of teaching children to spell by seeing the words before they spell them.
The arrival of the Spaniards also brought disease into the country, causing the death of a large number of Mexicans between 1519 and 1605. Working conditions resulted in many fatalities and the natives became increasingly discontent: many died in the mines and, all-told, 95% were killed by diseases and by being overworked (Green, 2005: 6). The consequential reduction of the population in Mexico drove the Spaniards to force the Afro-Americans to become slaves in place of the Mexicans.
In addition, the Spaniards forced the Mexican women to have sexual relations, resulting in the birth of the Mestizos: children with a Spanish father and a Mexican mother. Martin Cortes, son to Hernan Cortes and Dona Marina, was the first Mestizo as well as the first soldier to rebel against the Spanish government in resistance to the Mestizos' treatment. Many of the injustices in Mexico existed due to social status. The Spaniards were the most superior, then came the Creoles (those who were born in Mexico but to Spanish parents), then the Mestizos, followed by the native Mexicans: the indigenous population, and finally the Afro-Americans. The natives, low down in the pecking order, were the worst treated and hence their craving for national independence. After three hundred years of suffering, the Mexicans decided to fight for freedom from Spanish rule. It began when Hidalgo, a Catholic priest from Dolores in Mexico, summoned his followers telling them 'Mexicanos, viva Mexico!' (Mexicans, long live Mexico), and this saying is now known as 'el Grito de Dolores' (the Cry of Dolores) (Kartha, 2010: Buzzle.com). Hidalgo and his followers captured one of the mines run by the Spaniards and continued to fight against the interlopers for many years, eventually gaining control of the majority of Mexico but, due to the strength of the Spanish army, failed to defeat them.
Higalgo was killed on 30 July 1811 but, despite this, the Mexicans did not lose hope. Jose Maria Morelos, another Catholic priest, assumed command and captured Oaxaca and Acapulco, two major cities in Mexico. He too was killed by the Spaniards, on 22 December 1815. Both Hidalgo and Morelos are today considered heroes in Mexico for their efforts during the War of Independence. Two revolutionaries, Vincent Guerrero and Guadalpe Victoria, then took up the fight for freedom. In 1820, the Viceroy of New Spain, Juan Ruiz de Apodaca, forced the Creole, Agustin de Iturbide, to overthrow Guerrero and Guadalpe. When Fernando VII (the King of Spain) finally decided to accept a liberal monarchy, Iturbide was afraid it would be worse for the Creoles and supported the fight for independence. He believed that if they could achieve it, the Creoles would control Mexico. He came up with the 'Plan de Iguala' which stated that when Mexico achieved independence it would be a Catholic country and that the Creoles would have equal power to the Spaniards.
She puts these a sheet of paper, having the child look until he has the picture in his mind. She then rubs out or places a piece of paper over the word or words.
Then, the teaching parent reads the selection for dictation, phrase by phrase, repeating only once.
If there is an incorrectly spelled word the teaching parent places a small sheet of paper over the word, so the child will not visualize an incorrect word. Then, the child goes through the process of visualizing with this one word until he can write it correctly. Most children have little difficulty spelling correctly using this method <a href="http://BestNursingSchoolPrograms.com">Nursing Schools In Charlotte Nc</a>.
