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.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.

engage the higher level thinking skills that
are required for GCSE and A Levels:
• Critical thinking

• Primary source research
6. Extended Project Qualification (EPQ)
This project prepares students for the requirements of KS4
and KS5. It gives them an insight into the type of independent
study that will be expected of them in the future...
This is particularly useful for those high achieving students at
A Level that would like to get an extra qualification- the EPQ.
The EPQ is an independent study in addition to A-Levels.
Students are able to research and write about something that
interests them outside of their core subjects. They will
undergo independent research to produce a 5000 word essay.
All of our EPQ submissions this year have been provisionally
awarded an ‘A’ grade.

workshops to prepare for this.

and performance of ‘Twelfth Night’ at The Globe
Theatre. On the second day we will hold critical
and reflective workshops based around the
performance.

workshops over the next half term that will give
students an insight into the jobs available in these
areas as well as the interesting research and
experiments that take place.
8. Challenge and Enrichment… what’s
new next year?
KS3 debate club- Due to popular
demand, a KS3 debate club will be
introduced from October next year. This

GCSE level English.
School Magazine: The first issue will
launch in October. In the mean time, we
will be looking for keen writers in all
subject areas to contribute to this cross-
