The poem describes how a speaker's anger towards an enemy grows into wrath. He waters and suns his anger like a plant, allowing it to grow larger over time until it bears a bright apple. His enemy eats the apple and dies under the tree. The speaker felt happy to see his foe dead. The poem warns that bottling up anger will only make it grow in a poisonous way, while discussing problems with friends can help anger subside.

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.

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.
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.

2. Lines 1-2
I was angry with my friend:
I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
• As the poem opens, the speaker describes how he
was angry with his friend.
• Still, he told his friend he was angry ("I told my
wrath"), and presumably why he was angry, and
his anger disappeared. Happy days are here
again!
3. Lines 3-4
I was angry with my foe:
I told it not, my wrath did grow.
• The speaker describes a different scenario, now. He
was once angry with his "foe" (a.k.a. his enemy), but
didn't tell him about it.
• Since the speaker did not talk about his anger ("I told
it not"), his anger got bigger and bigger ("my wrath
did grow").
4. Lines 5-8
And I watered it in fears,
Night and morning with my tears;
And I sunned it with smiles,
And with soft deceitful wiles.
• The speaker talks more about how his anger grows.
Using figurative language, he treats this anger very much
like a plant. A plant needs water and sun in order to grow,
and so apparently does his anger.
• He watered it with his "fears" and his "tears" and made sure
it got plenty of sunshine.
5. • He tricked his foe to bring him closer to him
• Outwardly, he smiled and was friendly to gain
his trust
• ‘wiles’ – devious or cunning trick meant to trap
or fool someone
6. • The speaker didn't give his anger-plant real sunshine. Instead, he
gave it "smiles" and "deceitful wiles." These are more like "fake"
sunshine.
• They help the plant to grow—like real sunshine would for a real plant.
• A wile is a "crafty, cunning, or deceitful trick." "Deceitful wiles," are
super-deceitful tricks (or really, really cunning traps). The speaker
suggests that he is a very deceptive person and that he is planning
something very sinister and mischievous. Whatever it is, though, his
anger seems to dig it, since those deceitful schemes are like sunshine
to it.
• A growing plant is usually a good, positive thing, a symbol of life. It
seems ironic that a growing plant is being compared to a growing
anger.
7. Lines 9-12
And it grew both day and night,
Till it bore an apple bright.
And my foe beheld it shine.
And he knew that it was mine,
• Because of the speaker's efforts, his plant (anger)
eventually bears ("bore") fruit: an "apple bright.
• The enemy sees the fruit of the speaker's wrath, and
somehow he's able to recognize that it belongs to the
speaker.
8. Lines 13-16
And into my garden stole
When the night had veiled the pole;
In the morning glad I see
My foe outstretched beneath the tree.
• Apparently, at some point in the dark night, the enemy eats
the apple, which ends up killing him.
• He was happy that his foe was lying dead under the poison
tree
9. Figurative Meaning of the Poem
• Man is corrupted by evil feelings of anger, hatred
and malice.
• If we can conquer these evil passions, we will be
happy
• Do not nourish anger and hatred against friends
and foes
10. Figurative Meaning of the Poem
• In friendship, when we have a misunderstanding,
we should be not let our anger grow. We should talk
about our ill feelings and discuss why the
misunderstanding happened.
• Forgive and forget – peace of mind
11. Figurative Meaning of the Poem
• If we bottle up our anger, it grows into a ‘Poison
Tree’.
• Harmful to us and those around us
• The persona’s wrath kills his enemy just as he
desires.
• But death only affects his foe physically. It does not
affect spiritually
12. Figurative Meaning of the Poem
• The persona will be forever filled with guilt for
harbouring evil thoughts and committing the
murderous act in his own garden
• When a person is nourished with evil thoughts and
feelings from young, he will grow up to be violent
and full of misdemeanours. (minor wrongdoing)
13. Symbolism
• A growing plant is a symbol of life
• The persona’s growing anger is
compared to a growing plant.
14. Symbolism
• Night is associated with evil
• In this poem, the act of stealing is
committed at night when the persona’s
foe steals his apple in his garden
