The document provides tips for paraphrasing text, which involves restating information in one's own words while maintaining the original meaning. It recommends picturing the action to help paraphrase, breaking down long sentences, and simplifying the language. An example shows how to take lines of poetry and break them into smaller sentences before paraphrasing the ideas in simpler terms. The key aspects of a paraphrase are keeping the original meaning while using simpler language and one's own words.

TP-CASTT Poetry Analysis
T Title Before you even think about reading the poetry or trying to analyze it, speculate on what
you think the poem might be about based upon the title. Often time, authors conceal
meaning and give clues in the title. Jot down what you think this poem will be about
P Paraphrase Before you begin thinking about meaning or trying to analyze the poem, don't overlook the
literal meaning of the poem. One of the biggest problems that students often make in
poetry analysis is jumping to conclusions before understanding what is taking place in the
poem. When you paraphrase a poem, write in your own words exactly what happens in
each line of the poem. Look at the number of sentences in the poem—your paraphrase
should have exactly the same number. This technique is especially helpful for poems
written in the 17th and 19th centuries that use language that is harder to understand.
C Connotation Although this term usually refers solely to the emotional overtones of word choice, for this
chart the term refers to any and all poetic devices, focusing on how such devices contribute
to the meaning, the effect, or both of a poem. You may consider imagery, figures of speech
(simile, metaphor, personification, symbolism, etc), diction, point of view, and sound
devices (alliteration, onomatopoeia, rhythm, and rhyme). It is not necessary that you
identify all the poetic devices within the poem. The ones you do identify should be seen as
a way of supporting the conclusions you are going to draw about the poem.
A Attitude Having examined the poem's devices and clues closely, you are now ready to explore the
multiple attitudes that may be present in the poem. Examination of diction, images, and
details suggests the speaker's attitude and contributes to understanding. Think about the
tone of the poem and how the author has created it. Remember that usually the tone or
attitude cannot be named with a single word - think complexity.
S Shifts Rarely does a poem begin and end the poetic experience in the same place. As is true of
most us, the poet's understanding of an experience is a gradual realization, and the poem is
a reflection of that understanding or insight. Watch for the following keys to shifts:
• key words, (but, yet, however, although)
• punctuation (dashes, periods, colons, ellipsis)
• stanza divisions
• changes in line or stanza length or both
• irony
• changes in sound that may indicate changes in meaning
• changes in diction
T Title Now look at the title again, but this time on an interpretive level. What new insight does
the title provide in understanding the poem.
T Theme What is the poem saying about the human experience, motivation, or condition? What
subject or subjects does the poem address? What do you learn about those subjects? What
idea does the poet want you take away with you concerning these subjects? Remember that
the theme of any work of literature is stated in a complete sentence an ...

Poetry Explication--Assignment/Instructions
Assignment for the Poetry Explication
An
Explication
is a complete and detailed analysis of a work of literature, often proceeding word-by-word or line-by-line through the work. For this paper, you will be writing an explication of a poem. You may choose any of the poems listed in this module.
Technical Requirements for Explication:
The paper must be typed and double-spaced, conforming to proper manuscript
MLA
format. Please review the MLA documentation module for more information on MLA format.
The final draft of the paper must be at least two (2) pages.
This is not a research essay; therefore, you will not (and should not) use outside sources.
In the Explication you will be presenting your "reading" of the poem you have chosen. Such a reading will require you to understand all aspects of the poem and to have a grasp of the meaning of individual parts of the poem in relation to the entire work.
You are not, however, striving to be exhaustive in your "explanation" of the poem, but rather
you should strive to be selective in considering only those details that are significant to your own thematic understanding of the poem
.
General Questions to Consider for Poetry Explication
These questions will assist you to experience the poem more critically.
You do
NOT
need to address all of the following questions.
What does the title contribute to the reader's understanding of the poem?
Who is the speaker? Where is the speaker when the poem is happening?
What is the situation? What has happened in the past, or what is happening in the present, that has brought about the speech/poem?
Is there a specific setting of time and place?
Is the speaker addressing anyone in particular?
How do you respond to the speaker? Favorably? Negatively? Are there any special circumstances that inform what the speaker says?
What is the theme/meaning of the poem? Is the theme of the poem presented directly or indirectly? What details make possible the formulation of the main idea?
Do any allusions enrich the poem's meaning? What references need explaining? How does an explanation assist in the understanding of the poem?
What difficult, special, or unusual words does the poem contain? How does the diction reveal meaning? Are any words repeated? If so, do any words carry evocative connotative meanings? Are there any puns or other forms of verbal wit?
Do any objects, persons, places, events, or actions have allegorical or symbolic meanings? What other details in the poem support your interpretation?
Is irony used? Are there any examples of situational irony, verbal irony, or dramatic irony? Is understatement or paradox used?
What is the tone of the poem? Is the tone consistent?
Does the poem use onomatopoeia, assonance, consonance, or alliteration? How do these sounds affect you?
What sounds are repeated? If there are rhymes, what is their effect? Do they seem forced or na.

World Literature Poetry Explication Assignment
Due: 12/02/16 (end-of-day)
The Assignment:
Write a four-page explication of two short poems from our assigned texts in Week 5 (research optional). Choose two poems that you think will work well together, but offer contrast on some levels (either in form or in content). Poems covered deeply in class discussion are not eligible for this assignment. Pick poems we did not cover in depth.
About Explication:
Explication is the unraveling of a poem (or story or play), analyzing the poem word-by-word, line-by-line, or stanza-by-stanza. In unfolding the poem, address any literary devices you see: simile and metaphor, allusion, rhyme, rhythm, repetition, onomatopoeia, form, and other techniques (see Poetry.org). How do these all contribute to the overall message of the poem?
An explication is a way for you to slow down and focus on the detail. Often, a poem that you find confusing will make sense once you take some time to examine it piece by piece.
Cite all sources according to MLA and include a Works Cited page.
Introduction: Include title (in quotation marks), author, dates, brief background of the author if necessary and relevant, a brief summary of the plot (situation), or literal level of the poem, and your thesis, which is an interpretation (argument) of the meaning you see.
Body Paragraphs: Systematically go through the poem showing the techniques stated in your thesis and showing how they relate to the poet’s argument. Brief quotes should be incorporated into your sentences to clarify your point. Do not, under any circumstance, quote the entire poem within the paper. If you quote three or fewer lines, an inline quote, you should introduce the quote with a signal phrase, and then quote the section of the poem, indicating line breaks with a “/” and stanza breaks with a “//”.
Author writes, “quoted line/quoted next line” (871).
To quote more than three lines, use a block quote. In either case, follow the quote with a parenthetical reference of the line number(s). And then, make sure that you follow the quote with a close analysis/unpacking of the meaning. If you quote there must be a reason, and it is your job to “unpack” what is inside the quote—don’t expect readers to see your points only based on the quote.
Conclusion: Here you pull the paper together and reaffirm your thesis. You could discuss how the poem relates to real life and/or use this paragraph to disagree with the poet’s argument if you wish. Avoid, “I think…” or “I feel…” language. Be specific with word choice and avoid vague words like unique, interesting, amazing, etc.
Style: Keep your sentences focused on the poem itself. Include transitions where appropriate to avoid jumping quickly from one topic to the next.
Additional Style Tips: While the explication tends to be a chronological progression, consider the organization of the paper. How can you group your observations? This, as any other formal paper, shoul.

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.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
