How to spell a difficult word

  1. Slowly repeat the word out loud. Sound out each part carefully, only one syllable at a time. Remember spelling rules such as silent E's and "I before E except after C, or when sounded like A, as in neighbour and weigh".
  2. Know (or guess) the word's language of origin and think about that language's spelling patterns.
  3. Close your eyes and try to imagine what the word might look like. How is it spelled?
  4. Once you have written the word, see if it looks right. If something looks funny, try different spellings to see which looks best. If that still doesn't work, spell the word in phonics and then in proper letters.
  5. Try different forms of the word; if "derivation" is too hard, think about it as "derive" then worry about the suffix.

Tips

  • When all else fails, ask someone, look up the word, or use spell-check.
  • After you spell it correctly, look back and see how and why it's spelled like that so the next time it will be more automatic.

Kecak Dance

Kecak a form of Balinese music drama, originated in the 1930s and is performed primarily by men. Also known as the Ramayana Monkey Chant, the piece, performed by a circle of 100 or more performers wearing checked cloth around their waists, percussively chanting "cak" and throwing up their arms, depicts a battle from the Ramayana where the monkey-like Vanara helped Prince Rama fight the evil King Ravana. However, Kecak has roots in sanghyang, a trance-inducing exorcism dance. In the 1930s Wayan Limbak worked with German painter Walter Spies to create the Kecak from movements and themes in the traditional sanghyang exorcism ritual and the portions of the Ramayana. This collaboration between artists worked to create a dance that was both authentic to Balinese traditions but also palatable to Western tourist's narrow tastes at the time. Wayan Limbak popularized the dance by travelling throughout the world with Balinese performance groups. These travels have helped to make the Kecak famous throughout the world.
