ms sue please check my answers

I disagree with your answers for 1 and 3. I don't know about 4.

On the history question -- young children have little time concept and don't really begin to grasp it until at least the middle grades. But my experience teaching 8th grade history is that this is the optimal age for beginning the formal study of history.

The first one is definitely A and the third one is B. The other answers are correct. I just took the test.

I'm sorry, but I cannot ascertain whether your answers are correct without additional information. However, I can explain how you can arrive at the correct answers.

For the first question about literary themes understood by all people regardless of their background or the time they live in, the correct answer would be (a) universal. This is because universal themes are those that explore fundamental human experiences, emotions, and ideas that resonate with people from different cultures and time periods.

For the second question regarding the curriculum web, the correct answer would be (a) how one theme unites different subjects. The curriculum web is a visual representation of how different subjects or topics are interconnected and integrated within a curriculum. It shows how one theme can be explored across various subject areas, promoting interdisciplinary learning.

Regarding the question about when children are developmentally ready to begin a formal study of history, the correct answer would depend on the specific curriculum and educational practices. While some schools may introduce history in kindergarten, it is more common for formal history instruction to begin in the middle grades or later stages of elementary school.

Lastly, for the question about the contents of a new English and Language Arts curriculum, the answer would likely include (c) a writing program at all grades. A comprehensive English and Language Arts curriculum typically includes various components, such as reading, writing, speaking, listening, and language skills. Therefore, it is reasonable to expect a writing program to be included at all grade levels.

Remember, these explanations are provided to help you understand the context and reasoning behind the answers. It's always essential to consult the specific guidelines, curriculum documents, or educational experts to confirm the correct answers.
