It depicts the animals overthrowing their human farmer and establishing a new social system, only to see their revolution devolve into a totalitarian dictatorship worse than the one they overthrew, mirroring Stalin's rise to power in the Soviet Union. Orwell based the major plot points and characters on real events from the Russian Revolution and Stalin's regime. The novel serves as both a critique of totalitarianism and a predictor of how communist systems could go wrong if power is concentrated in the hands of a single ruler.

Making annotations
This document discusses the importance and benefits of annotation when reading. It states that annotation, or marking and taking notes in a text, is an effective way to read actively and help comprehend and retain information. Annotating engages the reader, slows down the reading to focus on details, helps process information, and records evidence for later use. It suggests annotating to mark important points, examples, steps, definitions, personal reactions, and areas needing clarification. The "golden rule" of annotation is to make important ideas stand out clearly.
Using context clues
More cities are beginning to ban smoking in public places due to the health hazards of second-hand smoke. Context clues are textual devices that help understand word relations, patterns, or meanings through explanation, definition, examples, cause and effect, restatement, synonyms, antonyms, illustrations, and other methods. There are several types of context clues, including synonyms, antonyms, explanations, and examples, that can help determine the meaning of unknown words.

Denotative meanings are the literal or dictionary definitions, while connotative meanings are the suggestions and impressions that come to mind when hearing the word. It provides examples of words and short phrases that demonstrate how the same words can have different connotations depending on the context and usage.
How the world began
In the beginning, there was only water and sky. Makabughaw created the first wind to blow, allowing soil and land to form. However, the land was barren. Magbabaya worked to make the land fertile so plants and trees could grow. Dadanyahan helped by creating animals. To tend the land, the first human was formed from clay but had no spirit. The gods tasked Magbabaya and Dadanyahan to give the human spirit, thus creating life.
Defining social sciences and applied social sciences
Social science is the study of society and human behavior, with the goal of understanding society and improving the human condition. The main social science disciplines are anthropology, economics, geography, history, linguistics, political science, psychology, and sociology.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
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.
