Students will conduct a community-based research project to enhance their writing skills. They will research a topic about their local community and write reflections on what they learned. All student work will be compiled and shared within the classroom and community. As a model, the teacher has chosen their own community writing project researching the history of a local Victorian home that nearly burned down, including sources from the late 1800s and early 1900s. Students have become excited about investigating their community topics.

Elpa 9462 history of us education policy - project proposal - laura mc inerney
Laura McInerney proposes to analyze three progressive schools opened in the UK during the 1920s: Beacon Hill led by Bertrand and Dora Russell, Summerhill led by A.S. Neill, and Malting House led by Geoffrey Pyke and Susan Sutherland Isaacs. She will examine the primary motivations of the school leaders using primary sources like newspapers and the leaders' own writings. She will also analyze how the schools were planned and opened, and whether they lived up to expectations initially or faced quick demise. Laura may consider the sources through a psychohistorical lens to gain new insights into why the schools were created and, in some cases, closed.
Anthropology summer project as 2012
The anthropology summer project has three main tasks: 1) Explain the differences between social, biological, and economic anthropology including key theorists. 2) Explore how women are treated in the Na Tribe and Maasai Tribe, and discuss if women are treated universally. 3) Visit the Museum of Natural History if possible. Students are expected to purchase the textbook "Sharing our Worlds" by Joy Henry. The completed project is due on the first day of anthropology class in September.
The victorian era
During the Victorian Era from 1837 to 1901, society in England was strictly stratified into three classes. The upper class did not have to work and enjoyed a life of luxury, fine clothing, education, and leisure activities. The middle class had some amenities but had to work harder than the upper class. The working/lower class lived in poverty, wore ragged clothes, were not educated, and had to perform difficult manual labor for long hours with little pay. Overall, the higher one's social class, the less one had to work and the more access they had to comforts, privileges and power.

Jesse Hauk Shera: a riew of the person
Jesse Hauk Shera was an influential library philosopher born in 1903. He received degrees in English and a doctorate in library science. Shera held several positions including at the University of Chicago library and was also an editor. He published extensively over his career. Shera developed the philosophy of social epistemology, which views knowledge as a social construct that libraries help shape. His belief that libraries mediate between users and information sources helped establish the theoretical foundations for the field. While technology has changed, Shera's view that libraries play a role in supporting knowledge creation in society remains highly relevant today.
Sj Kb Am 520 S10 Comp Timeline Pre1900
The history of composition instruction in the 19th century saw a focus on classical literature and public speaking in curriculum. As public schools proliferated between 1890-1900, the turn of the century brought a shift to using English texts and literature to teach writing instead of classics. While Harvard began using admissions essays in 1873 and advocated for literature in composition instruction, Yale opposed seeing literature only as valuable in its own right. By the late 19th century, high school composition focused on teaching writing through literature, known as the Harvard method.
3 12 2008 Myths & Realities Of Democratic Trustee Governance Of Public Commun...
This study examines the public engagement practices of the public community college boards of trustees. The trustees’ perceptions of public engagement were pursued through inquiry within five categories: (a) role and responsibilities, (b) definition of public engagement, (c) public engagement practices, (d) barriers to public engagement, and (e) how to make public engagement more effective. The results of study emerged within five major thematic areas, which have implications for theory and practice—(a) trustee roles, (b) trustee relationships with the public, (c) administrative and organizational structures, (d) leadership, and (e) policy which have implications for theory and practice. Finally, the three key conclusions of this study are (a) trustees do not identify deliberative public engagement as a role priority or a default priority; (b) the role of trustees must be reframed and redefined to include democratic public engagement practices; and (c) the public's role in democratic governance must be reclaimed.
Types of paragraph
The document describes four primary purposes of writing:
1) Narration is used to tell a story through describing a sequence of events.
2) Description provides details about a person, place, or event to help readers visualize the topic.
3) Exposition gives information by explaining or providing directions.
4) Persuasion aims to influence readers by stating an opinion and convincing them of a viewpoint.
Ethernet oam-tutorial srinath-beldona
The document provides an agenda for an Ethernet OAM tutorial. The agenda includes reviewing Metro Ethernet technologies and Ethernet OAM, Ethernet OAM deployment overview, 802.1ag connectivity fault management, 802.3ah Ethernet in the first mile connectivity verification, MEF-16 E-LMI for rapid service deployment, and Ethernet OAM interworking. The tutorial will cover key concepts in managing Ethernet services and networks using Ethernet OAM standards and protocols.
Ethernet
Ethernet uses CSMA/CD access method where nodes can sense carrier and detect collisions. It was first defined in 1978 and formed basis for IEEE 802.3 standard. It uses exponential backoff to retry transmission after collisions and is limited to 2500m to ensure collisions can be detected. Ethernet addresses are unique to each adapter and frames contain fields for source, destination, data and error checking.
Ethernet technology
This document provides an overview of advances in Ethernet technology. It discusses the evolution of Ethernet beyond its original use as a LAN technology. It describes different standards body views of Ethernet and key Ethernet concepts like frames, addressing, clients, and link layer control protocols. The document also outlines modern Ethernet features like VLANs, Ethernet services, QoS, link aggregation, and OAM functions.
Ethernet - Networking presentation
This document provides an overview of Ethernet in a presentation for a computer networks class. It begins with an introduction to Ethernet and network topologies. The technology section discusses Ethernet standards, frame formats, and cable types. Devices covered include switches, routers, and the differences between them. Applications like firewalls and IP spoofing are also mentioned. The summary reiterates the key topics discussed, including the introduction of Ethernet, technologies and devices, and applications. It also outlines the future of Ethernet, such as vehicular uses and standardizing software-defined networking.
Ethernet
Ethernet was first created by Robert Metcalfe and standardized by IEEE as 802.3. Fast Ethernet (802.3u) transmitted data 10 times faster than standard Ethernet at 100 Mbps while still being backward compatible. Gigabit Ethernet (802.3z) further increased speed to 1000 Mbps and supported full duplex between computers and switches or half duplex between computers and hubs using CSMA/CD. Switched Ethernet uses switches containing plug-in cards to reduce collisions by separating collision domains and allowing parallel transmission between cards.

She received her B.A. from Yale University and M.A. from UT Austin. Her research focuses on the cultural history of science and technology, childhood studies, and environmental history. She has published articles, book chapters, and reviews. She has also held fellowships, teaching positions, and research assistantships related to her fields of study.
Prospectus and progress report
The document is an independent project prospectus for a course on the history of literacy and reading instruction. It lists primary and secondary sources that will be used to examine how literature has traditionally been taught in schools and how the curriculum has changed over time. It also addresses how current practices encourage or discourage an inquiry-based, transactional approach to reading. The proposed project will use these sources to develop a rationale for a new high school English elective course that takes an inquiry-based approach focused on aesthetic and efferent reading experiences rather than a prescriptive curriculum. The goal is for students to engage in "literary anthropology" and develop transformative relationships with books.
Inspiring Cultural Connections Through Literature
The document discusses using Joseph Bruchac's novel "The Winter People" in a 5th grade classroom to teach about Indigenous peoples and colonialism. It provides an overview of the plot and explains how exploring the novel and related online resources can help students learn about the Abenaki culture and develop cultural appreciation. Incorporating literature and the internet into lessons supports multicultural education by allowing students to gain different perspectives and enhance critical thinking. Some limitations are ensuring materials are appropriate and unbiased, and that all students have access to technology.

Protestant Missionary Education, Chinese students, and the Making of Hong Kon...
Protestant missionary societies established educational institutions in early colonial Hong Kong that helped pave the way for social mobility. St. Paul's College, founded in 1851, produced many of Hong Kong's early English-educated Chinese elites. The Diocesan Native Female Training School provided education to girls that prepared them for roles of usefulness in society. Notable graduates included Wu Ting-fang, the first Chinese member of the Legislative Council, and Lydia Leung, who accompanied her husband as a missionary. Debates around language education policy and the "Mui Tsai question" reflected changing colonial discourses and the participation of Protestant-educated Chinese in the public sphere.

https://app.box.com/s/qhtvq32h4ybf9t49ku85x0n3xl4jhr15LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
