The class will participate in vocabulary and essay discussion activities in small groups. Homework includes continued reading of The Hunger Games and posting discussion responses online.
La rentrée fut très active pour les journées d’études à l’Union des Villes et Communes de Wallonie. Le mois de septembre a ainsi vu, outre les Midis de la Gouvernance consacrés aux synergies entre communes et CPAS (notre autre dossier de ce mois), de nombreuses journées s’organisent autour de thèmes essentiels.
Jugez plutôt: « Encadrement des manifestations publiques - Communes et polices locales garantes de l’ordre public » le 23 septembre 2011 à Wépion, « Intercommunales - focus sur les marchés publics » le 30 septembre 2011 à Wépion, « Quelles pensions pour les agents des pouvoirs locaux ? » le 6 et le 13 septembre 2011 à Seraing et Saint-Denis, « Ancrage communal du logement - De la conception à la réalisation, quels facteurs clés de succès ? » le 29 septembre 2011 à Wépion, méritaient, entre autres, d’être ici mis en lumière.
Mais notre dossier nous permettra également de revenir sur un colloque plus ancien consacré aux relations entre communes et fabriques d’église organisé, lui, en février et mars 2011 à Tilff, Rochefort et Mons. Qu’on se le dise: s’ancrant fortement dans la réalité quotidienne de terrain, l’Union s’adresse, par ces séances d’informations, aux mandataires et aux fonctionnaires locaux dirigeants sur les thèmes d’actualité qui constituent leurs dossiers prospectifs du moment.

Research Paper
A research paper is an analytical or persuasive essay that presents and argues a thesis (evaluates a position)
What a research paper is not
A simple collection of facts on a topic
A summary of information from one or more sources
Research Paper:
From an Interest to a Topic
In choosing a topic start with what interests you most deeply
Start by listing two or three interests you might like to explore/questions that you have wondered about
Examples
If you are undertaking a research project in a specific field, skim a recent textbook, talk to other students, or consult one of your teachers
Examples
You might try to identify an interest based on work you are doing or will do in a different course
Types of topics to avoid
If you are still stuck you can find help on the internet or in your library
Standard Guides in Various Fields
Dictionaries: briefly define concepts and sometimes offer a bibliography
Encyclopedias: give more extensive overviews and usually a bibliography
Bibliographies and Indexes list past and current publications in the field
Finding dictionaries, encyclopedias, and bibliographies in particular fields:
Go to Pfau Library Home Page
Under Search For heading click on the Encyclopedias/Dictionaries link
Under Search Online Databases heading select bibliographies and type your discipline into the search bar.
Scan headings for topics that catch your interest
Once you identify a general area of interest, use the internet to find out more about the topic so that you can narrow it.
At first you may not know enough about a general interest to turn it into a focused topic.
If so, you have to do some reading to know what to think about it.
Don’t read randomly: start with entries in a general encyclopedia, then look at entries in a specialized encyclopedia or dictionary, then browse through journals and websites until you have a grip on the general shape of your topic.

Lesson 7 Discussion
Team 3: United States Business Leader, Laborer and Government Leader (president/legislative member)
Part 1: Although you are all responsible for your own posts, I randomly separated the class into three groups (teams) to focus our discussions and ensure deeper participation into the specific country's perspective on NAFTA. Please follow the sequence below to stay organized with your research and contributions. POST YOUR SUBMISSION IN THE DISCUSSION BOARD ASSIGNED TO LESSON 7 (Not your team's board). Title your post - Your Country and your name
Begin by reading chapters 14 and 15 of the textbook, and the
North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)
Links to an external site..
Part 2:
Then each complete an analysis using the following facts pattern:
CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING: Free trade among these nations have both pros and cons. Imagine that you represent the country assigned to you by your professor, and then speculate about both the positive and negative effects that NAFTA may have on the country you are assigned from the perspectives of the individuals listed (business leader, laborer, government); share your speculations with the class. Be sure to include the following in your post:
1. Provide information about the benefits of free trade to ALL countries involved (this can be a table)
2. From the perspectives of the country and parties I assigned you to: Discuss what the drawbacks are of free trade – provide specific examples supported by researchable data,
3. Respond to 2 classmates (1 person from your same team AND another person from another team
From the perspective of the country and parties I assigned you to: Discuss what your predictions and recommendations are for the future of NAFTA.
When replying to your classmates' posts:
Read your classmate's post and reply to no less than two of your classmates and a question.
Your question should be one of the following three types:
· Clarification Based: This kind of question helps the writer by asking your peer to clarify points that you think could be more fully explained.
· Evidence question - When a writer states something as fact rather than personal opinion, your peers argument is stronger if they cite evidence that the fact is true. Facts can be evidenced, in approximate order of strongest evidence to weakest, (1) by citing trustworthy data, (2) by citing the opinions of experts, (3) by citing repeatable personal experience, or (4) by citing common opinion. This kind of question helps the writer by asking for evidence if the student states something as fact but doesn't cite evidence.
· Hypothetical question - This kind of question helps the writer by asking your peer to test their argument by applying it to a situation that you specify.
Please note that a discussion is an exchange. Participate regularly and solicit feedback from your peers.

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

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.

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.

The epigraph quoting Greta Garbo’s line
from the film Ninotchka.
The conversational tone of the essay
Using “O.K.” and “Let’s” rather than the
more formal “let us.”
Focusing the Plan
20. Focusing the Plan
What She Does What She Does Not Do
She focuses on certain
scientific aspects of
romantic love, specifically
the evolutionary biology
and neurochemistry of love
between adult human
heterosexual mates.
By keeping to her focus,
she is able to present
information that is
unfamiliar, and therefore
interesting, to her readers.
Because she wants to
emphasize love as a tool to
promote reproduction, she
does NOT include same-
sex love, or nonsexual love
between friends and family
members
She does NOT discuss
views on love by various
religions or cultures.
A logical plan

behavior is in fact part of nature’s master strategy—a vital force that has
helped humans survive, thrive, and multiply through thousands of years”
Forecast: In paragraph two: “Love rests firmly on the foundations of
evolution, biology, and chemistry.”
Toufexis also uses transitions to let the readers know when she is leaving
one topic and going to another: here is the transition from biology to
neurochemistry:
