This document describes a close reading activity where students analyze a passage from H.G. Wells' War of the Worlds. The instructor introduces the activity and its learning goals of identifying main ideas, making inferences, and analyzing word choice and structure. Students are instructed to do an initial read of two paragraphs to get the gist and underline key ideas. The activity is meant to get students to engage closely with text according to Common Core standards.
This version was presented at the Archdiocese of Detroit 2nd Annual In-Service for Teachers and Administration at the University of Detroit Mercy on August 4, 2015. The presentation describes a teaching strategy to boost motivation in male students, specifically in reading but other subjects are presented as well.

Consider the vision for a successful Southwest Transit marketing tea.docxclarebernice
Consider the vision for a successful Southwest Transit marketing team composed in Topic 4. Narrow down the team selection to four individuals for presentation to the director. Decide which strategies will be most effective for leading the agreed-upon team. Compose a PowerPoint presentation (10-12 slides), then record your 5-7-minute presentation using YouTube Video, Loom, or Zoom. On the title slide of your PowerPoint presentation, provide the link to your YouTube, Loom, or Zoom video recording that you created. Your presentation should address the following:
Who are the four team members, and what was the primary reason each person was selected? How difficult was it to come to a decision regarding team selection? Which potential team member was most difficult to come to a consensus about? Why?
What are the primary strengths of the team? What are its potential weaknesses? How positive is the management team about the team's potential? Justify your answers with evidence from " Southwest Transit Team Member Profiles."
What strategies will be most effective for motivating the team, managing conflict, and ensuring success and fostering collaboration? Cite specific motivational theories, conflict-resolution strategies, and leadership strategies in your answer.
Justify how the selected team embodies the values of Conscious Capitalism how the tenet of stakeholder orientation played a role in the team selection process. Provide citations to strengthen your claims.
Describe how value is created for each stakeholder, and in what ways will the team positively impact the business as a whole?
You are required to use at least three academic references to strengthen and support your claims and recommendations. Ensure each content slide has supporting citations and specific examples.

Consider the various ways to create effective communication in teams.docxclarebernice
Consider the various ways to create effective communication in teams and guidelines from the text to determine how s a student group could constructively manage the situations described below. In your response for each scenario, identify which principles of effective teamwork are being disregarded, and develop responses (i.e. ways) that maintain a supportive communication climate.
A. LATENESS: At the second meeting, Peg came in a few minutes late. That was bad enough, but now she’s coming 10–15 minutes late to every meeting. What’s worse, Angelica and Robert have started arriving late, too. It makes the rest of us feel like giving up.
B. SKEPTICISM: Dan constantly makes negative comments. Our brainstorming activities fail because he makes fun of our efforts. Some people in the group are losing their enthusiasm and have stopped saying anything.
C. MONOPOLIZING: Rajiv is very opinionated. He keeps talking, and he rambles on and on. It feels like we can’t get a word in edgewise.
D. SILENT DISAGREEMENT: Adelle sits around rolling her eyes about almost everything we say. We can tell from the look on her face that she doesn’t like our ideas. It makes us feel like she doesn’t like us, either. She’s very pretty, and I think maybe she feels superior.

Consider the followingContrast Soviet and post-Soviet migration.docxclarebernice
Consider the following:
Contrast Soviet and post-Soviet migration patterns within the Russian domain. Throughout the Soviet era Russian leaders relocated people to new locations, both in an attempt to extend Russian political and economic power and as a means of punishment—as prisoners were dispatched to a series of security sites: The Gulag Archipelago. Russian leaders viewed many of these relocations as part of a broader ‘Russification’ policy.
As the result of the circumstances above:
In the post-Soviet era, there has been a reversal of migration, and ethnic Russians are leaving the newly independent states (former republics) to return to Russia.
The assignment
:
Following the demise of the Soviet Union, what will be the likely outcome of ethnic Russians leaving the newly independent states to return to Russia?
.
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.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

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.

NATALIE MALM: Are you familiar with HG Wells' novel War
of the Worlds?
MALE STUDENT 1: Yes, I am.
2. NATALIE MALM: What do you remember of it?
FEMALE STUDENT: Sci-fi.
MALE STUDENT 1: It's sci-fi. I remember that it caused a
panic. It was read on
the radio. I think, it was a Halloween special.
NATALIE MALM: That's right. That's right.
MALE STUDENT 2: There was an alien invasion. At least, that
was the context of
it.
NATALIE MALM: Right. Well, today we're going to talk a
little bit more about that.
We're going to take a passage from the original novel and do a
close-reading
activity. The Common Core State Standards stress the
importance of students
reading closer, to gain deeper appreciation and understanding
for what they
read. The learning goals for this activity will be informed by the
Common Core
State Standards.
One of those standards is "read closely to determine what the
text says explicitly
and to make logical inferences from it. Site specific textual
evidence when writing
or speaking to support conclusions drawn from the text"
Our learning objectives today are "identify main idea and key
concepts of the text
to make logical inferences. Evaluate the development of central
ideas. Analyze
4. Close Reading Experience 1
As you do this first read, please use a colored pen to underline
the key ideas and
details. Read paragraphs 22 and 23 of Chapter Eight, "Dead

are the key ideas in
the passage? And what examples support the main ideas? Please
