Understanding text organization (teacher)
This document provides information about teaching students to understand text organization and structure. It discusses how recognizing patterns in expository texts can improve comprehension. Specific text structures are defined, along with common signal words that indicate each structure. Sample graphic organizers are also included that teachers can use to help students organize information according to the underlying structure of different texts.
Lesson 01 What does a historian do?
This World History power point covers what a historian is, what they do, and how they use primary and secondary sources in their work. To see more visit http://teach180.bitnamiapp.com/joomla/
History of Public Speaking
This document provides a history of public speaking around the world. It discusses the origins of public speaking in ancient Greece and Rome, where it took place in marketplaces and assemblies. Various societies are then examined, including ancient Egypt where advice on speech is found in The Maxims of Ptahhotep, and traditional speaking styles emphasized deference, humility and avoiding conflict. Public speaking is also explored in regions such as Asia, China, Japan, India, and its role in Athenian and Roman democracies where rhetoric was used to participate in debates and assemblies.
Functions of communication
Communication serves several functions: control of behavior, social interaction, and meeting needs/desires. It allows for exchange, competition, cooperation, conflict, and coercion between individuals. There are different kinds of oral communication like small talk to maintain relationships, light control talk to motivate tactfully, and straight talk for problem solving. Communication also motivates people, allows emotional expression, and disseminates information downward from superiors, upward from subordinates, and horizontally between peers.
Primary and secondary source game
This document lists various historical sources and identifies them as either primary or secondary sources. Primary sources include things like a radio broadcast from the launch of Sputnik and a scientist describing Buzz Aldrin's experience walking on the moon. Secondary sources refer to things like YouTube videos, cartoons, and descriptions of events that are analyzing and interpreting original sources rather than being the original source themselves.
Globalization Presentation
Globalization refers to the increasing flow of goods, services, capital, people, information and ideas across national borders. It has led to nearly $23 trillion in annual imports and exports and influences many aspects of daily life through products from various countries. However, globalization also raises issues such as the use of sweatshops with poor working conditions and low pay as well as increasing global inequality between rich and poor nations. [END SUMMARY]
World econmy
The document discusses the history and current state of the world economy. It covers the rise of globalization since the classical era and industrial revolution. While international institutions aimed to establish a fair world economic order after WWII, their policies have largely favored developed nations over developing countries. The New International Economic Order proposed in the 1970s aimed to improve conditions for developing nations, but many of its goals have yet to be realized. Currently, wealth remains concentrated in powerful economies like the US, Europe, and parts of Asia, while many other regions still struggle with underdevelopment and economic dependence. Significant structural reforms are suggested to create a more equitable distribution of resources and opportunities around the world.
1.-READING-ACADEMIC-TEXTS.pptx
This document discusses reading academic texts. It notes that reading academic texts differs from other types of reading in its content and style, as well as what readers are expected to do. Academic texts deal with concepts and ideas related to subjects studied in college or university. They present facts and evidence to support arguments, use logic and conform to a clear structure. Readers are expected to recognize an author's purpose and bias, differentiate facts from opinions, challenge claims, consider consequences, integrate information from multiple sources and evaluate evidence to draw their own conclusions. The document provides examples to illustrate the complexity of reading.

Writing writing structure overview
Australia's tourism industry benefits greatly from the country's unique geography, including landforms, beaches, and wildlife. However, its remote location also presents challenges. The essay analyzes how geographical factors contribute to and hinder tourism in Australia. It argues that while distance is an obstacle, Australia compensates by offering tourists a variety of attractions in one place and creating a memorable experience, outweighing the difficulties of travel. The success of Australia's tourism industry is largely due to its distinctive geography and animals, though distance remains a consideration.

Spider presentation by David Isaksson
The document discusses how the internet and social media have empowered individuals and changed communication globally. It has led to a shift from a few similar media controlled by experts to a multitude of different media where everyone can communicate. Social media makes the world more unpredictable and has given more power to disseminate information and change attitudes to individuals rather than experts alone. However, it also raises issues around freedom versus control of information online.

The amount of WordPress blogs and page views has increased dramatically over the years, showing how widely used blogging has become as a form of communication online through the WordPress platform.
Internet censorship
The document discusses internet censorship from multiple perspectives. It notes that while some level of censorship may be needed to prevent harm, over-censorship can limit progress by restricting the spread of new ideas. Examples are given of how censorship impacted Galileo's theory that the Earth revolves around the sun, and allowed Hitler to manipulate information. China is highlighted as one of the strictest censors of the internet, blocking topics like democracy. Overall the document questions the role of governments in censorship and whether it should be used to protect freedom of speech or restrict it.

Presentation on social media
Social media are defined as media that allow for social interaction using publishing techniques that are highly accessible and scalable. The history of social media began in the late 1960s and early 1970s with the introduction of email and bulletin board systems, and has evolved to include the introduction of major websites and platforms in the 1990s and 2000s such as Yahoo, Google, Wikipedia, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and others. Today, social media are widely used for purposes such as marketing, communication, sharing thoughts and research, making friends, and keeping up with news, teams, and entertainment, but also have disadvantages like wasting time, less physical activity, and threats to governments and religious groups.
The internet
The document discusses the history and impact of the Internet. It notes that 2 billion people are now online and the Internet provides access to knowledge and empowers users. The Internet was originally created by "social misfits" like Tim Bernes as a rebellion to create wealth and challenge authority. One of the earliest online communities was called The Well, similar to social networks today. Wikipedia is now one of the largest online encyclopedias with 65 million monthly users, though some argue its open editing model reduces its validity.
Berger
This document discusses challenges facing news media in providing comprehensive global coverage in the digital age. It notes that while the internet has potential for more international perspectives and collaboration, most US news websites remain US-centric and focused on domestic issues. Foreign audiences are attracted to US sites but their interests are not fully reflected. Reasons discussed include commercial pressures to target national audiences, a lack of resources for extensive foreign reporting, and a tendency to frame foreign stories through a domestic lens. The document questions if this insular approach can be sustained as global connections intensify.
Muslim Organizing Update - July, 2013
This document provides information about organizing efforts within the American Muslim community. It discusses the impact of Islamophobia which is largely led from the US and has global consequences. It also outlines the realities of US surveillance and national security policies that disproportionately target Muslims. Demographic data on the American and global Muslim populations is presented. Examples of Muslim organizing groups in the San Francisco Bay Area are given to show the diversity. The document concludes by discussing approaches to building out regional Muslim organizing networks across the country.
UN World Press Freedom Day
Mark Hillary discusses recent events affecting press freedom in the UK, including press scandals involving illegally hacking voicemail. He examines recommendations from the Leveson inquiry to regulate the press through an independent oversight body. However, Hillary argues regulation is increasingly difficult given the changing nature of journalism online, with anyone now able to publish globally and citizen journalism breaking major stories. While censorship is now impossible, traditional press brands struggle to survive and define their role in an online environment where the most popular news sources are blogs and social media.

The document discusses conventions used in horror media products and how the author has developed and challenged some of these conventions in their own horror magazine cover, film poster, and trailer. For the magazine cover, the author uses bold text and red and black colors which represent blood and death for horror. The film poster features a dark and sinister background with a creepy house in the center and smudged tagline. The trailer uses unsettling old-fashioned music and only features one character instead of many to make it unique.
Q3
Luke Beckess created a trailer, poster, and magazine for a horror film project. He shared these on Facebook and survey monkey to collect feedback. For the trailer, feedback indicated that volume needed adjusting during loud scenes. For the poster, people suggested making the house photo darker and more sinister.

Luke took this critical feedback and made improvements, resulting in products that were more clearly identifiable as horror-related and better suited the audience.

The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
