A Tale of Two Cities
1. A TALE OF TWO CITIES By Charles Dickens
2. CHARLES DICKENS • Born February 7, 1812 (Portsmouth, England) • Father imprisoned for debt • “Cast away at a young age” • Began career reporting for London newspaper • First piece published 1836 (Pickwick Papers) • 1850s: father & daughter died; divorced • Wrote Bleak House, Hard Times and Little Dorrit in this period • 1865: train accident • Died June 9, 1870 of stroke • Buried in Poet’s corner, Westminster Abbey
3. HISTORY OF A TALE OF TWO CITIES • Based on the French Revolution (1789) • Written and published in 1859 • One of his last books completed • First book coming out of his “dark period” • Novels had a moral purpose: “to arouse innate moral sentiments and to encourage virtuous behavior in readers”
4. STRUCTURE & STYLE • Foreshadowing • Fewer sub-plots/characters comparatively • Did not fit into modern literary categories (similar to Shakespeare) • Genre: Historical Fiction • Repetition • Writing reflects mood
5. PLOT SYNOPSIS A Tale of Two Cities is based on the French Revolution and the adventures of Lucie Manette and her father, Dr. Manette. Lucie Manette, with the help of Jarvis Lorry, attempts to rescue her father and gets stuck in a love triangle in England with Charles Darnay, Mr. Stryver and Sydney Carton. When work takes Lorry and Darnay to France, they fall into a serious dilemma and need to escape the madness of the Revolutionists. Meanwhile, Madame Defarge and her husband, Ernest Defarge, plan the French Revolution and turn in their morals for loyalty to the new Republic. The multitude of Dickens’ characters meet in France and an unexpected turn of events takes place to conclude the virtuous story.
6. CHARACTERS: • Lucie Manette • Doctor Manette • Jarvis Lorry • Charles Darnay • Sydney Carton • Miss Pross • Ernest Defarge • Madame Defarge SETTING: • London, England • Poor district in Paris, France: St. Antoine
7. SYMBOLS: • Broken Wine Cask: blood shed • Imprisonment • Darkness/Weather: violence • Sea/Fire: Anger/Hatred THEMES: • Sacrificial love • Class inequality • Value of life • Family loyalty • End does not justify the means
8. MEANING & SIGNIFICANCE • Protests the cruelty and gruesome nature of revolution • Urges readers to see all humanity as worthy of life and equality • Illustrates sacrificial love that resonates deeply with the human soul
9. CRITICAL ESSAY • Compares A Tale of Two Cities to A French Revolution (Carlyle) • Accurate and detailed facts (e.g. number of prisoners escaped) • “Everyone who has common sense should have an idea about the events transpiring around him.” • Criticized for drawing out emotions; not qualified to write on history
A very useful presentation for the students and faculty as well.
Since its publication, Heart of Darkness has fascinated readers and critics, almost all of whom regard the novel as significant because of its use of ambiguity and (in Conrad's own words) "foggishness" to dramatize Marlow's perceptions of the horrors he encounters.
The presentation is not a mere creation of the author but it is based on various sources and purely designed to assist students in their examination. Quality of this presentation cannot be compared with the original text and genuine criticism of the literature. Students are advised to prefer the original texts for better results.
The Narrator describes a night spent on a ship in the mouth of the Thames River in England. Marlow, one of the men on board, tells of his time spent as a riverboat pilot in the Belgian Congo.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.
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.

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.
