The 7 Steps of the Writing Process by Monica Fox, M.A.Monicali25
In order to write a good college essay, it is imporant for the writing to follow a process. Writing, like cooking from scratch, requires a number of steps. Those steps will look for each writer. For beginning college writers, it is very important to understand the writing process, thesis statement, and the revision and editing steps. The following PowerPoint explains the seven steps: Understanding the Assignment, Generating Ideas during Pre-Writing, Planning, Drafting, Revising, Editing and Proofreading, and Preparing a Final Draft. The PowerPoint also provides some good examples of what a thesis statement and outline look like.
I delivered this presentation at the Canadian Association of Journalists "Innovate News" conference in Toronto, ON on January 30, 2010. The topic was "Visual Thinking and the Writing Process" and looks at visual techniques that writers could use in brainstorming, gathering information and developing their stories.

Lesson Summary and Focus
Today students will start the class by using transition words in sentences. This will be done with a short fill-in-the-blank sentence worksheet to be done independently. After this, students will write sentences using their vocabulary words in an around-the-room activity. Lastly, as a class we will work on starting to compare and contrast two articles we have read.
Classroom and Student Factors
This is an eighth grade instructional special education classroom with eight students; three boys and five girls. All students have IEPs, a majority of the students have increased their reading skills to be at sixth to seventh grade level. I have only two students who are below a sixth grade reading level. I also have one student who is very private and shy about participating in the classroom; she is on anxiety medication to help her relax in the school environment. Students are in their last quarter before they become freshman in high school. Currently the school is also taking the state’s assessment which requires all computers in the building to be used for only this purpose for the month of April.
There are a lot of factors that come into play when creating lessons for my classroom. It is nearly impossible to have students be able to work with computers in the classroom since our state assessment is done on the computers. I can still introduce students to new types of technology by projecting images and Prezi’s on the whiteboard for students to see. Using the smartboard, students can actively participate with notes and online games as a class.
Another factor that I have to consider is to provide appropriate readings for all my students to comprehend. My Cooperating Teacher told me that the students can read a higher level article at a slower pace and done so as a class rather than as an individual. When picking my articles for students to do their compare and contrast unit I picked a topic that would be interesting to them.
Another factor that needs to be addressed is that students are not able to have access to any technology resources in the building due to our state assessment is currently using all of them to complete PARCC testing for the month at our building. Comment by Valerie Denny: This is a duplication of a previous statement. Is it needed?
Students may also be a bit more distracted today because they are visiting their future high school (“Step Up Day”) after this period. Their minds may not be focused in the classroom right now, but I will do my best to push for engagement.

Presentation: Isolation and Characterization of Bacteria from Tropical SoilsNicole Rivera
The purpose of this experiment is to encounter bacteria from tropical soils that have the capability of producing antibiotic. In order to do so, it was necessary to isolate the bacteria, purify it five times and freeze it at a temperature of -80˚C. After purification, gram staining was performed to classify the bacteria as gram positive or negative. The bacteria were characterized by doing purification of genomic DNA and then, a Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) with the primers 16sRNA, 16S_1510R and 16S_8F. An electrophoresis was conducted to see if the PCR process went well. The PCR product was purified and analyzed by using Bioinformatics. Finally, both bacteria’s S15UPRCRISENRE30M01 and S15UPRCRISEAFD30M01A had positive results as antibiotic producers for M.luteus.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
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.

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.

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

11. Definition
“Redundancy is the use of more words than are
necessary to express a thought, especially the use of
two expressions that mean the same thing. Such
repetition works against readability and conciseness
(Dawson, 1992).”
