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.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
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.

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.

Final Assessment
Kindergarten
Introduction
A few months ago, after visiting many schools in order to find one that would let me do my
practicum periods, and with any successful result I contacted my tutor and asked her for
some advice. Fortunately, she told me that “Lenguas Vivas” has made a “convenio” with
“Escuelas de la UNS”, thus I approached the “Escuela de Educación Inicial y Primaria”
where I talked with the headmistress and the English teacher, and my journey began.
We agreed on a schedule so I could start my kindergarten practicum period in 1st
grade, as
students in that school do not have English until that grade.
In order to start, I observed two lessons so as to become familiar with the group of
students, the teacher, as well as the teaching methods used by her, activities and
strategies.
After those observations I started developing my own lesson plans, which demanded from
me more time than I’ve expected, and I taught 7 lessons because I had to teach 150
minutes and lessons only lasted between 20 and 25 minutes.
I have to say that it hasn’t been an easy work, mostly because I’ve been extremely
nervous but it hasn’t been impossible. I’ve learnt many things involved in the teaching
process and I’m sure they’ll be of great help in the future.
Development
To begin with, the original aim of this experience was to apply the knowledge we’ve
acquired during the four years of the “profesorado”, namely strategies, methods,
psychological theories, among others. However, I have to say that it isn’t as easy as it
sounds, since in my experience, and in order to design and develop a lesson plan I had to
do a careful and deep work that lasted between three or four days. As regards the
objectives, activities and use of resources I tried to work with material and activities that
were the most authentic, meaningful and purposeful as possible, and the same with the
objectives I tried to fulfill during my lessons. In every lesson, I tried to design activities
according to “Bloom’s taxonomy” and presented students with receptive activities so as
that then, they could use the language actively. I designed all my lessons based on the
communicative approach since the idea was that students, although they are too young
yet, could understand and communicate in the target language.
Besides, I think that it was significant for students because during the lessons students
understood what I was saying told or asking asked them, and despite I had to resort to
some teaching strategies such as miming, exemplifying, among others, sometimes they
were able to “catch” my suggestions immediately. So, the activities and materials used
were significant as we could communicate in the language most of the time.
2. To continue with, many aspects namely, skills and knowledge were necessary to develop
this teaching experience.
First of all, I had to know my students’ needs as well as learning preferences and styles.
For instance, they really enjoyed TPR activities and songs. Second, I had to apply my
knowledge from different subjects in order to design the lessons according to the specific
context in which I developed them. Furthermore, I had to negotiate among the activities I
had planned since for instance in the first lesson I took a puppet to it and students didn’t
seem too much interested in it. The same happened in other lessons when I had to finish
an activity and change it in order to maintain students’ motivation.
So, I have to say that it has been a really rewarded experience from which I learnt a lot.
Now, I know that despite young children are “young” they are able to understand and
communicate in the foreign language; something I believed it was more difficult to achieve.
Besides, I learnt that not everything happens as we may plan it and we need to be able to
change different aspects during our lessons as well as to negotiate with our students, their
interests and needs.
As regards the aspects to take into account in the future, this experience has made me
confirm that I really like working with children as they make you forget about everything
and truly enjoy every lesson. However, if I had the chance to develop this practice again I
would make many changes and take a more holistic view within the aspects to take into
account at the moment of thinking about each lesson. What I’m trying to say is that some
aspects such as children misbehavior, need to be really thought beforehand in order to
know how to settle them down as well as what type of optional activities could be given to
them in order to continue working without too much distraction.
But all in all I really enjoyed this experience and it has influenced my future goals since, as
I said before, I really confirm I want to work with little children.
To continue with, and thinking inwardly I can say that I’m extremely happy because I’m a
very shy person, and with only thinking about my practicum periods was enough to make
me feel sick. I couldn’t imagine the fact of being too much exposed in front of a teacher
and then having to record my lessons and so on. However, and to my surprise it wasn’t as
bad as I thought; I could do it, at least the first period. Besides, and most important,
despite I entered the school really nervous, as I entered the classroom my nerves
disappeared, so I can say that I’m satisfied with the way I developed them.
Finally, and thinking outwardly, I may say that I consider others’ viewpoints of great
importance since I’m learning so I need to take into account others’ opinions. However,
during my teaching lessons, the teacher who observed me always had to rush since she is
in charge of all the primary courses at the school so a few comments were given to me.
Some of them were really helpful to improve timing for instance, since I had problems in
considering the appropriate amount of time for each activity, but then I could manage to
improve in this aspect. Besides, the comments of my tutors were also of paramount
importance since they gave me courage, and helped me to recognize what aspects were
ok and which ones needed improvement. I think that we need others’ viewpoints during
our entire career since they help us solve problems, improve our lessons, and help
students, as well as teachers.
Conclusion
To conclude, I have to say that although I haven’t finished my course of studies yet, and
I’m still learning, I’m really satisfied with my own teaching process during this short period
and with my own progress too. Watching me through the recorded videos were was a

weaknesses. Besides, I know that a long way waits to me since learning is part of our
entire career, but I’m willing to take advantage of every challenge, experience and
situation that are to come. I’m satisfied because I could overcome my fears, at least in this
period, and that gave me courage to continue in this long way.
Dear Cintia,
I am quite satisfied that you are able to describe , discuss and reflect upon your kindergarten
practicum experiences. Definitely, this first encounter with the teaching practice helped
both the development of your teaching skills and techniques framed by methods and your
commitment towards this responsible profession. Well done ! Big hug . Eugenia
