The document provides instructions for rating exhibits related to the statement "Were the British soldiers guilty of murder for the events of the Boston Massacre?". Ratings can range from -2 (heavily against) to +2 (heavily for). The document includes examples of how to apply ratings and explains exhibits should be evaluated based on how much weight they provide to reaching a conclusion. It then provides several exhibits in the form of testimony, images and documents to be rated on the provided scale.
What Really Happened in the Boston Massacre? The Trial of Captain Thomas PrestonMommyManderkin
My US History Presentation. It took me 5 days to complete this. The assignment is to lecture my class for one hour on the chapter of our book titled "What Really Happened at the Boston Massacre? The Trial of Captain Thomas Preston." Instead of boring them to death, I have decided to turn our classroom into the a courtroom. I will present all the evidence, and then we will deliberate on the fate of CTP. I have my Colonial Wig and my 3 Corner Hat ready... let\'s do this thing ;)

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

This presentation provides a briefing on how to upload submissions and documents in Google Classroom. It was prepared as part of an orientation for new Sainik School in-service teacher trainees. As a training officer, my goal is to ensure that you are comfortable and proficient with this essential tool for managing assignments and fostering student engagement.
Read| The latest issue of The Challenger is here! We are thrilled to announce that our school paper has qualified for the NATIONAL SCHOOLS PRESS CONFERENCE (NSPC) 2024. Thank you for your unwavering support and trust. Dive into the stories that made us stand out!
This presentation provides an introduction to quantitative trait loci (QTL) analysis and marker-assisted selection (MAS) in plant breeding. The presentation begins by explaining the type of quantitative traits. The process of QTL analysis, including the use of molecular genetic markers and statistical methods, is discussed. Practical examples demonstrating the power of MAS are provided, such as its use in improving crop traits in plant breeding programs. Overall, this presentation offers a comprehensive overview of these important genomics-based approaches that are transforming modern agriculture.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
2. Instructions
- Rate each of the following exhibits based on how
well it supports the statement:
“Were the British soldiers guilty of murder for the
events of the Boston Massacre?”
-Each exhibit is rated from -2 (very against the
statement) to + 2 (very supportive of the statement)
-A rating of 0 means the source is not useful in
either case
-For each write one or two sentences defending
your rating.
3. Set up your paper into columns like this:
Exhibit Rating Why?
Z – Photograph
of forest
+1 Stories of bigfoot often say he lives in the forest. This
is actually a forest so the stories are somewhat
believable.
4. Not all evidence is equally important. Part of
drawing a conclusion is determining how much
weight you give to each bit of information.

6. “If an assault was made to endanger their lives, the
law is clear, they had a right to kill in their own
defence; [even] if it was not so severe as to
endanger their lives, yet if they were assaulted at
all, struck and abused by blows of any sort, by
snow-balls, oyster-shells, cinders, clubs, or sticks of
any kind; this was a provocation, for which the law
reduces the offence of killing, down to
manslaughter, [not murder.]”
-John Adams, defense attorney for the soldiers and
second president of the United States.
The British soldiers were guilty of murder.
8. “They not only fired without the order of the civil
magistrate but they never called for one, which they
might easily have done. They went down...armed
with muskets and bayonets fixed, presuming they
were clothed with as much authority by the law of
the land as the posse comitatus of the country [a
group of citizens helping to stop crime] with the high
sheriff at their head.”
-Samuel Adams, Founding Father, leader of the
American Revolution and John Adams’ cousin
The British soldiers were guilty of murder.
16. The British soldiers were guilty of murder.
The mob still increased and were more outrageous, striking their clubs or bludgeons
one against another, and calling out, come on you rascals, you bloody backs, you
lobster scoundrels, fire if you dare. They advanced to the points of the bayonets,
struck some of them and even the muzzles of the pieces. On which some well behaved
persons asked me if I intended to order the men to fire. I answered no, by no means,
pointing out to them that I was standing in front of the muzzles of the men's guns, and
must fall as a sacrifice if they fired. While I was thus speaking, one of the soldiers
having received a severe blow with a stick, stepped a little on one side and instantly
fired.
On this a general attack was made on my men by a great number of heavy clubs and
snowballs being thrown at them, by which all our lives were in imminent danger, some
persons at the same time from behind calling out, damn your bloods-why don't you
fire. Instantly three or four of the soldiers fired, one after another, and directly after
three more in the same confusion and hurry. The mob then ran away, except three
unhappy men who instantly expired.
On my asking the soldiers why they fired without orders, they said they heard the
word fire and supposed it came from me. This might be the case as many of the mob
called out fire, fire, but I assured the men that I gave no such order; that my words
were, don't fire, stop your firing.
18. Ebenezer Hinkley: “Just after 9 o’clock heard the Cry of Fire. I saw the
party come out of the Guard House. A Capt. cried out of the Window
‘fire upon ’em damn ’em.’ I followed ’em down before the Custom
House door. Capt. Preston was out and commanded ’em. They drew
up and charged their Bayonets…. Then I heard the word fire in ¼
minute he fired.”
Peter Cunningham: “I am pretty positive the Capt. bid ’em Prime and
load. I stood about 4 feet off him.”
William Wyatt: “I heard the officer say fire. The Soldiers did not fire.
His back was to me. I heard the same voice say fire. The Soldiers did
not fire. The Officer then stamped and said Damn your bloods fire be
the consequences what it will. Immediately the first Gun was fired.”
The British soldiers were guilty of murder.
