Introduction
December 7, 1941, a memorable date in the history of America and Japan, a date marking a major attack on American soil and a date of the brilliant attack tactic by the Japanese. This was the date when the Pearl Harbor attack took place. This attack was a surprise attack carried by the Empire of Japan on America’s military harbor in Honolulu, Hawaii. Comment by Dan Ballentyne: This introduction needs further development, what is your thesis?
Causes of the attack
The Attack on Pearl Harbor, which was carried out through planes, took place on December 7, 1941, taking place in two waves through planes. The first plane hit its target at exactly 7:53 AM, while the second wave successfully striking struck at 8:55 AM. By 9:55 AM, the attack had been accomplished. The attack by the Japanese on Pearl Harbor was instigated by numerous reasons. These reasons are as follows: Comment by Dan Ballentyne: Paragraph needs further development
The first reason was the escalating tension between the two countries. This tension was brought about as a result of the U.S.American placed sanctions on the Japanese supply of oil, steel and metal due to their refusal to stop taking over more territories. This resulted in a cut of supplies of important commodities to Japan. This made Japan run short on options and the only option they had was to go to war with the U.S.United States in order to lift the embargo and protect its survival/ and be self-sufficient. Comment by Dan Ballentyne: citations needed Comment by Dan Ballentyne: always write out
The second reason was based on the Japanese assumption that the port at Pearl Harbor would hinder their conquering plans and “\expansionist policy”. . Their plan was to conquer Asia-Pacific regions like Malaya, Philippines, Burma among others. In order to go on with their plans and policies, the Japanese decided to launch an attack on Pearl Harbor as a precautionary measure. This attack was also meant to destroy the U.S.United States Pacific Fleet so they could not fight the Japanese, keeping them from the invasion in Asia-Pacific territory.
The attack was also meant to give the Japanese enough time to build up their army and fight off the U.S., inAmerican attempts of hindering their plans on the Asian region. It was also aimed at giving the Japanese empire a better strategic position that would enable them to fight the U.S.’sAmerican invasion attempts (Gailey, 1995).

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

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 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.

1. The 5 W’s and 1 H
As a Strategy for Improving Reading Comprehension
2. What are the 5 W’s and 1 H?
These are questions or question stems that can be used to when we
are trying to investigate or learn something. They are:
It is a good practice to reflect on these questions before you read and
to keep them in mind while you read. This can help to direct you to
explicit details, that is, information that is directly stated.
Who? What? Where? When? Why? How?
3. Let’s Practice!
The next two slides feature a passage about the attack on Pearl
Harbour. At the end of reading the passage, we want to learn as much
as we can about this event.
Reflect on the 5 W’s and 1 H to see if you can come up with some
questions that you may wish to find the answers to in the passage.
For example:
- What is Pearl Harbour? - Who attacked it?
- Why was it attacked? - When was it attacked?
4. Let’s Practice!
As you read, keep these questions in mind and pay attention to
whether the answers are in the passage. Note that you may not find
the answers to all your initial questions. Nevertheless, it is still a good
practice to put in place to direct your attention while reading.
Also, you may find details that relate to the
who/what/where/when/why and how of the attack that you did not
plan to find as well. But keeping the questions in mind should help
you to notice the details more easily.
5. Reading Passage – Paragraph 1
The attack on Pearl Harbor was a surprise military strike by
the Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service upon the United
States (a neutral country at the time) against the naval base
at Pearl Harbor in Honolulu, Territory of Hawaii, just before
08:00, on Sunday morning, December 7, 1941. The attack led
to the United States' formal entry into World War II the next
day. The Japanese military leadership referred to the attack
as the Hawaii Operation and Operation AI, and as Operation
Z during its planning.
6. Reading Passage – Paragraph 2
Japan intended the attack as a preventive action to keep the
United States Pacific Fleet from interfering with its planned
military actions in Southeast Asia against overseas territories
of the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and the United
States. Over the course of seven hours there were
coordinated Japanese attacks on the U.S.-held Philippines,
Guam, and Wake Island and on the British Empire in Malaya,
Singapore, and Hong Kong.

For over seven hours
8. Reflect
Did having the questions in mind before and during the
reading process help to direct your reading?
Look back at the table in the slide before with all of the
details that have been extracted from the passage. Do you
feel now like you are well-informed about the attack on Pearl
Harbour?
9. Summary
The five W’s and 1 H are questions or question stems that
can be used when you want to learn about or investigate
something.
They can also be used to help direct your reading so that you
can identify explicit details.
Before and during the reading process, ask yourself these
questions to identify information that is directly stated in the
passage.
