She felt strongly that once students emotionally connect to a topic, learning accelerates. Soon after evaluating the data from the mid-term exam, Professor Provoker was pleased with the assessment data she had collected: 80% of her 30 students were mastering the concepts of the course so far.
The topic of the current week is civil disorder—more particularly, urban rioting. Wanting to show the history of civil disorder, and evoke student involvement, she decides to build the week around the showing and discussion of a film about the violent riots involving the police and demonstrators in Chicago during the 1968 Democratic Convention. After writing the learning objectives for that week on her white board, she explains the topic for the week and what students will be doing in class. She notices many students are excited about the topic.

Moving charged particles in a magnetic field will experience a force perpendicular to both their velocity and the magnetic field. This causes the particle's path to curve. By observing how much a particle's path curves in a known magnetic field, its mass and charge can be determined. J.J. Thomson discovered the electron using this principle, observing cathode rays curving in electric and magnetic fields. He measured the amount of curvature to calculate the electron's charge to mass ratio, identifying it as a subatomic particle.

over the world . I really like traveling and have been to
Europe and Asia . Although we try to get together for
important occasions, this was the first time everyone
could attend . Most importantly, my good friends had
never met my relatives . Developing good friendships
takes a lot of work . Watching them all dancing,
laughing, and having a wonderful time will stay in my

loved and we danced for hours . My original guest
list had over 200 people, but I had to cut it down to
150 . It was difficult finding a group that could play all
the diverse styles that I wanted at the wedding . Most
bands specialize in one or two different kinds of music .
However, these musicians really knew all types of
music—from 1940s jazz and swing to salsa, merengue,
and even hip-hop . My brother was once in a rock and
roll band . In short, there was music to suit everyone’s
tastes . I loved the singer’s dress . It was incredible . Even
