$0.00
Student questions lead to LEARNING. Here’s a snapshot of the learning from a student’s question about the spelling of demonstrate that led us to a monster.
Description
No Joke, we found a monster. A student asked about the spelling of demonstrate, wondering why it wasn’t *demonstraight or *demonstrait. That led us to a monstrous surprise, literally a monster we weren’t expecting.
This student question snapshot will walk you through this structured word inquiry into demonstrate. We’ll work through morphology (word structure), phonology (voiced sounds in the word), etymology (a word’s origin language and history), and tie it all to the spelling of demonstrate. You also get a cute monster-themed matrix page. Happy Spelling!
