History of English poetry
The document summarizes the history of English poetry from Anglo-Saxon times to the modern period. It covers major periods such as the Anglo-Saxon period which produced anonymous epic poems like Beowulf, the Middle Ages when Geoffrey Chaucer emerged as the father of English poetry, the Elizabethan period known as a golden age with Edmund Spenser as the poet of poets, the 17th century metaphysical poetry of Donne, and the Victorian era when Tennyson, Browning, and Arnold wrote. The modern period questioned traditional values after WWI and pursued symbolism, imagism, and free form poetry.
Periodization of History
These are slides I used to introduce my students to the concept of periodization in the study of history. I looked at periodization based on the invention of writing (pre-history, history), based on the invention of tools (stone, metal age), and based on Christianity.
Ancient civilization
The document provides an overview of several ancient civilizations including Chinese, Indus Valley, Egyptian, Sumerian, Greek, Roman, Viking, and Mayan civilizations. It discusses the key characteristics of civilization in general and then provides details about the location, time period, important features, and trades of each civilization. A timeline is also included to show the eras of the different civilizations.
Fall Of Rome Pwpt
The document summarizes the fall of the Western Roman Empire. It lists several political, economic, social, and military causes that contributed to Rome's decline, including oppressive government, increased taxes, reliance on slave labor, population decline from war and disease, poorly trained armies with little loyalty, and invasions by Germanic tribes. By the 5th century AD, the Western Roman Empire had collapsed as Roman provinces fell one by one to invading barbarian tribes.
Ancient China
- Ancient Chinese civilizations first developed along major rivers like the Yellow River and Yangtze River, which deposited rich soil for agriculture. The Shang Dynasty ruled from around 1600 BC to 1100 BC and was the first Chinese dynasty to be confirmed by historical records. Religion influenced Shang culture through rituals for ancestors, oracle bones connected to early writing, and bronzework. The Zhou Dynasty overthrew the Shang around 1100 BC and introduced new concepts like the Mandate of Heaven to justify dynastic changes. Population and agriculture grew under the Zhou while new philosophies like Confucianism and Daoism emerged during the later Zhou period.

Cuneiform ppt
Early writing began as pictograms used by Mesopotamians to record crop amounts and taxes. Over time, these signs evolved into the script known as cuneiform, which was invented in southern Mesopotamia. Cuneiform was adopted by other groups like the Sumerians and Akkadians to record all sorts of administrative and cultural information. Scribes wrote cuneiform wedge-shaped signs onto clay tablets using reed tools, and the system developed over thousands of years, with signs changing orientation and taking on multiple meanings, including becoming representations of sounds.

Unit 4 n.s life and health
This document discusses the different stages of life from infancy to old age. It notes that during infancy, from birth to 3 years old, babies need help from parents and begin walking and talking. Childhood occurs from ages 3 to 11, where reading, writing, and autonomy are developed. Adolescence spans from 12 years onwards, bringing bodily changes and the expression of interests. Adulthood begins at 20, where bodies change slowly and education is completed to begin a career. Old age starts at 70, where hair whitens and strength declines but wisdom grows.
Life is all about choices and the decision
Decisions involve analyzing options to eliminate them, while choices focus on the opportunity to select. Life is like a road where the destination is unknown when starting, with no guarantees. It is important to realize this about life. Wrong decisions are often only seen as such in hindsight. To decide, identify options but make the final choice yourself. Weigh the pros and cons of each option and trust your assessment to make the decision, being ready to face the consequences, whether positive or negative. The important thing is actively choosing your path in life rather than passively experiencing it.

The beginnings of human society, global 9th 2014 15
Archaeologists and anthropologists study prehistoric times through excavating artifacts and observing human cultures. Archaeologists have divided prehistory into the Stone Age, Bronze Age, and Iron Age based on tools. Early human discoveries include Australopithecus, Homo Habilis, and Lucy. Neanderthals, Cro-Magnons, and cave paintings at Lascaux provide insights into Paleolithic nomadic hunter-gatherer societies. The Neolithic Era introduced agriculture, animal domestication, and settled villages. Early civilizations emerged in river valleys with cities, governments, jobs specialization, social classes, religions, and writing systems.
New Stone Age
Farming began around 11,000 years ago in Southwest Asia, allowing people to settle permanently in places where they grew food like wheat and barley. Farming provided a steady supply of food each year and led to population growth and the rise of civilizations with organized societies and trade. The first civilizations developed around 4,000 years ago near large river valleys that provided water and fertile soil for agriculture.

This document summarizes the origin and evolution of human settlements from early nomadic hunter-gatherer societies to permanent agricultural communities and eventually urban settlements. It describes how early humans lived as nomads in caves up until around 10,000 BC, after which some began living near rivers and practicing basic cultivation. Around 5,000 BC, settlements took shape as groups built huts near fields. Surplus food production led to population growth and more permanent settlements organized under leaders. River valleys were popular locations, and division of labor, trade, social stratification, and fortified settlements with castles and temples emerged. Urban settlements developed with specialized occupations and social classes.

The document also discusses the ancient Hebrews and the development of the monotheistic religion of Judaism.
Overview of AP Period 1
The document provides an overview of prehistoric human life from the Paleolithic Age through the Neolithic Revolution. During the Paleolithic Age, humans lived as nomadic hunter-gatherers in bands without advanced tools or permanent settlements. The Neolithic Revolution began around 10,000 BCE with the development of agriculture and domestication of animals, allowing for more sedentary lifestyles and establishment of early cities in places like the Middle East. This period saw the emergence of social stratification, specialized occupations, gender divisions of labor, and religious changes.
Honors.ch.1.pp1
This document provides an overview of early human cultures and civilizations. It begins with definitions of culture and discusses the Paleolithic and Neolithic Ages. The Neolithic Revolution marked the beginning of settled societies based around agriculture and domestication of animals. This led to the emergence of early civilizations in places like Mesopotamia between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. Key features of early civilizations included organized government, religion, job specialization, social classes, art, architecture, writing, and trade. The Sumerians created the first Mesopotamian civilization based around city-states with temples, defenses, and the earliest writing system of cuneiform. Later, the Akkadians and
The barter system
The document discusses the barter system, one of the earliest forms of exchange where goods and services were directly traded for other goods and services. The barter system dates back to around 6000 BC and originated out of necessity for early civilizations. As wants and desires became more complex, specialization of labor developed and bartering allowed for the exchange of surpluses. Though simple and flexible, bartering also had disadvantages like the lack of a common measure of value and difficulty storing value. The document then briefly introduces the concept of credit cards which originated in the 1920s as a system to overcome some limitations of bartering.

Major early scientific developments included the invention of the wheel, discovery of metals and tools. River valley civilizations like Egypt, Mesopotamia, China, and the Indus River valley civilization in India developed more advanced cultures with systems of government, religion, architecture, professions and trade. The Indus River valley civilization spanned several large cities along the Indus River between 1700 BC to 2500 BC, but later declined for unknown reasons.
Chapter 1 notes
1) The document provides an overview of life during the Middle Ages in Europe under the feudal system. Peasants lived and worked on manors, while towns offered more freedom but were overcrowded.
2) Events like the Black Death and Hundred Years War weakened the feudal system by reducing populations and increasing taxes. This led peasants to gain more freedom and a market economy to emerge.
3) Attitudes were changing with the growth of towns and trade, as people grew less devoted to religion and more interested in worldly matters. This set the stage for the Renaissance.

They search carefully in a grid system, record the location of any finds, and analyze artifacts in a lab. With permission, they dig at places like middens, which were ancient trash dumps that contain clues about the past through flakes and other remnants. By piecing together fossils and artifacts, archaeologists can reconstruct life in periods before written history.

1 to 1 digital learning ppt
This document discusses using digital learning and 1:1 devices in math classrooms. It outlines advantages like meeting 21st century skills, engaging students, and ease of distributing information. Disadvantages include lack of computer literacy, reliability issues, and students forgetting devices. The author describes using flipped videos from Khan Academy, uploading practice and assessments for students to complete digitally and submit for feedback, and using online testing platforms. Instructions are provided on sharing files and folders with students so they can make copies to complete and submit classwork.
Numberline notes
- Integers include whole numbers and their opposites on the number line including zero. Positive numbers are greater than zero, while negative numbers are less than zero.
- Integers can be compared and ordered on a number line, with numbers to the left being less than those to the right. Their absolute values represent distances from zero.
- Integers are used to represent real-world concepts like temperature, elevation, and financial amounts, with positive integers for gains and negative for losses or amounts owed.
Introduction to Positive and Negative Numbers
The document provides an introduction to integers including:
- Definitions of positive and negative numbers and their representation on number lines
- Rules for comparing and ordering integers
- Real-world examples of how integers are used to represent things like temperature, sea level, and money
- Key concepts and rules for adding and subtracting integers including keeping the sign of the first integer the same and changing the operation and second integer's sign for subtraction
- Examples of using number lines to visually represent integer operations
- A method for proving that subtracting a negative number is the same as adding a positive number
Least common multiple
The document discusses the concept of the least common multiple (LCM). It defines the LCM as the lowest number that is a multiple of two or more numbers. It provides examples of finding the LCM of different pairs of numbers by listing their multiples and circling the first number that is common to both lists. The document also discusses how the LCM can be used to find patterns involving multiples and to add or subtract fractions by finding a common denominator.
Intro to ratios, rates, and unit rates
This document introduces ratios, rates, and unit rates. It defines ratios as comparisons using quantities, rates as comparisons of quantities with different units, and unit rates as comparisons where one quantity is 1 unit. Examples are given such as the ratio of green to purple aliens. Rates are defined using examples like miles per hour. Unit rates are introduced as comparisons where one quantity is 1 unit, like eyes per alien. The document includes activities to identify and represent different ratios, rates, and unit rates.

Add and subtract pos and neg numbers 4 parts
This document provides an introduction to integers through five parts:
Part I defines key integer vocabulary like positive and negative numbers. It discusses integer properties like opposites and compares/orders integers on number lines. Real world applications like temperature, sea level, and money are explored.
Part II covers integer addition rules - signs the same means keep the sign, signs different means subtract the numbers and keep the larger absolute value sign. Number lines demonstrate adding integers visually.
Part III explains that subtracting a negative number is the same as adding a positive number through changing operation and number signs. More examples solidify this rule.
Part IV proves this subtraction rule is true by using the same checking method as regular subtraction equations
Understanding ratios assessment 1 to 15 questions
The document explains ratios and provides examples of calculating different types of ratios from sets of numbers. It gives the ratios of circles to squares, circles to clouds, and other figures in a set of 15 numbers. It then provides word problems to calculate ratios such as girls to boys in a class of 30 students, the length and width of a rectangle, and the length and height of a dog. The document demonstrates how to write ratios in fraction form and calculates various part-to-part, part-to-whole, and whole-to-part ratios.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
