Young children are capable of observing, making inferences and justifying deductions. Yet these skills are rarely made use of in the History class. Children are given information regarding the sources of history without being encouraged to learn through discovery. Some natural questions that children can ask while looking at sources are “How was it made”? “How was it used?”, “How old is it?” etc. These questions lead to deeper questions like “What do we know for certain?”, “What reasonable guesses can we make, based on what evidence?” While using available sources to construct their own accounts of the past, children also learn that accounts may differ because evidence is incomplete. Through this presentation, an attempt has been made to introduce the process of historical enquiry in children, encouraging them to examine sources, question inferences and assumptions, construct their own history and above all, trigger curiosity.

Imperialism is very similar to colonialism, with one major difference: colonial powers settle the countries of which they gain control, while imperial powers do not. The term “imperialism” does not seem to exist prior to the 1800s. Nineteenth-century imperialism was spurred in large part by the Industrial Revolution. The development of new industrial economies in the 1700s and 1800s necessitated the acquisition of raw materials and the desire to gain control of marketplaces; thus, by the mid-1800s, imperialistic actions of strong nations (most notably European nations) started to become policy.

Circular in shape, its outer ring consists of vertical sarsen standing stones. A lot of archaeologists and scholars are still looking for answers to their questions. The reason for the rumor of it being spooky is that the Sarsen stone which was used to build Stonehenge occurred as loose or semi-buried boulders.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

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.
How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
2. There are two types of SOURCES
that can be used to investigate
Australia’s ancient past:
1.Oral accounts
2.Archaeological evidence.
3. Oral accounts of the Aboriginal and
Torres Strait Islander peoples
Oral accounts the collected stories that the
first Australians used to tell their story
and record their customs, rituals and laws.
Their oral histories centre on the
importance of home, place and country.
4. For example, Dreamtime stories explain
the origins of life and are passed on from
generation to generation
5. Archaeological evidence
Because there is no written evidence,
archaeologists also rely on the remaining
archaeological evidence.
Sources of evidence include artefacts such as
burial sites and middens, rock engravings and
rock paintings and tools and fossils.
6. Middens, such as this
one at Boulder Point
in Tasmania, are places
where people have left
the remains of their
meals, such as shells
and bones. The
charcoal remains of
fireplaces and
artefacts such as tools
can also be found
at these sites
7. Rock engravings at a
site on the central
coast, north of
Sydney.
This engraving depicts
fish, an eel and a
shield
9. History Mystery - Lake Mungo
In 1969 archaeologists unearthed the skeleton of an
ancient person in the sand dunes of the desert-like
Lake Mungo in south-western NSW.
The skeleton had been burned, crushed and then
burned again before being buried in a shallow grave
near the fire.
Five years later they uncovered a complete skeleton,
again of an ancient person. It had been laid out very
carefully, and buried very formally. It is believed
that Mungo Man is the world’s oldest ritualistic burial.
10.
11. Mungo Lady and Mungo Man are
perhaps the most important human
remains ever found in Australia.
Their discovery re-wrote the ancient
story of this land and its people and
sent shock-waves around the world
12. What QUESTIONS would a historian ask
&
What CLUES would a historian look for to answer:
1.How old are the Lake Mungo people?
2.Why were Mungo Lady and Mungo Man
buried in these ways?
3.What was their life like?
Thinking like a detective
