Quiz covers various aspects of the USA: art, literature, music, architecture, natural treasures, historical monuments, famous Americans, important events, national holidays. Originally it was a lecture-quiz, meaning I would tell interesting facts and stories behind the pictures and questions. I added answers as well as some words into the presentation, but of course, it's still mainly pictures :o)
11th February 2012.
The session at Window on America center Dnipropetrovsk (Ukraine) was dedicated to the President’s Day holiday in the USA. We decided to start the discussion with a slide show about the city of Washington – the capital of the USA. The club members who have been to Washington city (Valentina and Svitlana) felt rather nostalgic and missed the positive emotions of their trips to the USA.
The next activity was reading and translation of an article about the Presidential foods. We have learned a lot of fun facts about the likes and dislikes of famous Presidents and learned many idiomatic phrases. Our American friend Mr. Battilega was kind enough to explain a lot of difficult expressions and terms during the session.
To memorize the names of the USA presidents we offered a search word puzzle to the club members. They have formed teams and tried to complete the puzzle in 10 minutes. The best score was 17 out of 43 names.
Yana’s team managed to complete a more complicated puzzle in 10 minutes – a “Celebrate USA” Sudoku.
The numerous books presented to the club members aroused a lot of interest. The WOA collection features books on many aspects of American presidency – from the speeches of the US presidents to the first ladies’ backgrounds, from the statistics on elections to the interiors of the White House.

Web Blogs: a powerful tool in classrooms
Critical Evaluation Essay Outline
Introduction
Presenting the Subject: Literacy in its simplest form can be defined as “the ability to read simple passages of printed text and sign one's name” (Levine, 2003). Yet, in the 21st century with the development of information and technology, there is a big debate if literacy can only be limited to the ability to read and write. The debate suggests that literacy should be extended to technology literacy. According to Montgomery school, technology literacy is defined as “the ability of an individual, working independently and with others, to responsibly, appropriately and effectively use technology tools to access, manage, integrate, evaluate, create and communicate information”. Conversely, we should look at how technology can increase the literacy of the individual and facilitate and support the learning process within educational setting?
The fact that the Internet has been increasingly affecting individual’s daily life, the experience of blogs has been part of it. Blogs are one of the best web tools that provide the individual’s to share their ideas and experiences in a daily basis. A blog, or as referred to a weblog, is a “Web publishing tool that allows authors to quickly and easily self-publish text, artwork, links to other blogs or Web sites, and a whole array of other content” (Glencoe, 2005). Blogs are convenient Web sites with navigation and posting features. These posting are mainly in a text form and recently other media (images, and videos) posting were supported. Blogs can be accessed publically and can include people’s comments for any posting.
Thesis: Judgment on the Subject: Teachers choose blogs as the creative form of Internet technology to employ it in their classrooms. Both students and teachers can benefit from the use of “educational blogs” as an effective and powerful tool in their learning process. Educational blogs can be efficient for students as they can be accessed at conveniently any time, in any place with an Internet-enabled computer. Therefore, we believe that using blogs in the classroom can increase student learning through extending classroom boundaries, increasing collaboration and interaction, creating space for discussion and critical thinking.
Body of Argument
Reason One: Enhancing the writing skills
First Criteria. The first reason to support the use of educational blogs in classrooms is enhancing the writing skills”
Support:
· Blogs make a comfortable space where student can write better. Example of student expressing their classroom blogging experience “What I have enjoyed most about blogging is that even though we have certain topics to expand upon, I can post my own thoughts and feelings in a relaxed environment. As I have already stated in a previous blog, being in relaxed environment when you write is probably one of the best things for your writing. You can always write how you feel about the desired.
This presentation was created to introduce the staff at an elementary school to blogging. It provides an overview of blogging and suggested uses with students.

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.

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.

17. “I think the biggest tip that I'd have for classroom teachers interested in building
interest in blogging among their students would be to see blogging as
something more than just a place for students to post stand-alone thoughts.
For me, the power in blogging rests not in what I write alone, but in the
reactions that others have to my writing and in my efforts to read and
respond to the thoughts of others.
Accomplished bloggers seek out others who are wrestling with common areas of
interest, primarily because opportunities to interact with ideas is motivating. One
of the tenets of constructivism is that true learning only takes place when
deeply held personal beliefs are challenged by contrary evidence. In those
moments, individuals are forced to refine and revise ideas that they once
held to be true.
In a sense, blogging makes such experiences possible for everyone. It is, in
some ways, a remarkable opportunity for differentiation because writers of
all ages are wrestling with interesting ideas at all times. With a bit of poking
around, challenging content can be found for anyone.”
