June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.

3. What is creative writing?
Any writing, fiction, poetry, or non-fiction, that goes
outside the bounds of normal professional,
journalistic, academic, and technical forms of
literature.
Works which fall into this category include novels,
epics, short stories, and poems.
Writing for the screen and stage, screenwriting and
playwriting respectively, typically have their own
programs of study, but fit under the creative writing
category as well.

that are part of creative
writing.
Think about the characters:
1. What characters did you

like/dislike them?
What does
the title tell
me?
What do I
predict the
text will be
about?

What do I
already know
about this
topic?
What
words do
I expect
to see?

7. Key Vocabulary
character
plot
sub plots
conflict
setting
theme
style
grammar
9. 1 Character
Every story has a main character.
If you don’t have characters that make the reader care
about them, you might just as well throw out your story.
There is a whole art to character writing. Sure, you can
slap up a name on a caricature, give it a few clichés
(qualities so well known that there’s nothing caring about
them) and call it a character. But that doesn’t make it a
believable and real character… and I’m not talking just
about cardboard cut-outs here.
Unbelievable characters are… well there’s no strong
enough word in English to describe them. Pretty well
nonsense. Don’t waste your ink making them up.
10. 2 Plot
Every story has a main character. But does every story
have a plot? The answer is not every story… but all the
good ones have them.
If you want to know whether your story has a plot or not
(what a mouthful) is: what happens in it?
Action is not plot. Plot is something different. Whether
you want to write a detailed plot outline or just start your
story, you must take care of plot.
Your plot can be anything in the world. It can be happy, it
can be sad, it can be serious, it can be funny, it can be
realistic and it can be fantastical. Its only function is to
draw the reader in.
11. 2 Plot
a. sub plot
If you include subplots in your story, you can
increase interest in your novel. But that’s only if you
carry it off well. What are subplots?
A subplot is a secondary plot strand that is a
supporting side story for any story or the main plot.
Subplots may connect to main plots, in either time
and place or in thematic significance. Subplots often
involve supporting characters, those besides the
protagonist or antagonist.
12. 2 Plot
b. conflict
In your plot, you must introduce conflict between
the main character and his surroundings.
Conflict is necessary to make your novel spicy.
Conflict between the protagonist (hero) and
antagonist (villain), conflict between the protagonist
and the side characters and so on.
Without conflict there is no excitement in a story.
People hate to see everyone agreeing with each
other. Introduce some conflict.
13. 3 Setting
Where is your novel set?
It might be set in modern age India, it might be set
in ancient Europe, it might be set in a fantasy world
such as Middle Earth.
Wherever, it doesn’t matter. But it must be
believable.
14. 4 Theme
What is your novel about?
Is it about crime, about politics, about realism or
about fantasy? What is the theme of the story?
How will readers feel after reading it?
If you answer these questions, you have a theme.
15. 5 Style and Grammar
Writing voice, point of view, style and grammar
matter.
If you break the rules, sometimes it’s for the better.
But it’s always better to know them before breaking
them.
If you make a spelling mistake, be sure to correct it
with proof-reading.
Nothing gives away the amateurishness of a writer
more than a spelling mistake.
