The document summarizes the key differences between the New England, Middle, and Southern English colonies. New England colonies focused on fishing, lumber, and trade due to their rocky soil and climate. They were settled by religious dissenters seeking freedom. The Middle colonies had fertile land and waterways supporting farming and trade. They were ethnically diverse with Quakers and Germans. The Southern colonies grew cash crops like tobacco with large plantations worked by indentured servants and slaves. Conflicts arose from expanding colonist settlements disrupting Native American lands.

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.

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
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. Get Focused
• Focus Question:
• How were the English colony settlements unique?
• I Can…
• I can describe the economies, politics, societies
and environments of the colony regions
• I can describe the different forms of conflict
within the colonies and explain how it impacted
them
4. New England
Environment and Economy
• The soil was too thin and rocky and the climate
too harsh for the colonists to grow cash crops.
• They turned to fishing, whaling, lumbering, fur
trading, ship building, small scale farming, and
metal working to nourish their economy. These
items were sold to other colonies and to England.
• New England colonies also participated in the
selling of slaves to the southern colonies.
• Many people lived in villages with a common area

Massachusetts.
• Yankee- A nickname for New England merchants
who were known for being excellent traders
7. New England
Politics
• Town Meetings- Colonists discussed important
decisions, this encouraged the growth of
democracy
• Sabbath- Observation of this day was not only
religious, but it was the law.
• Legislative bodies- Law passing, elected groups
• General Court- Elected, church-going
assemblymen in Massachusetts
• Fundamental Orders of Connecticut- voting for
property owners.
9. Middle Colonies
Environment and Economy
• Land was more fertile than in New England and
promoted farming of cash crops: a crop that you can
sell for $$$ at the market- corn/wheat/fruit.
• An abundance of rivers allowed for transportation of
goods for trade between the colonies.
• Mills to grind grains and iron production developed
and supported local economies.
• Skilled artisans produced goods
• The first colonists were Dutch and settled at the mouth
of the Hudson River. Their goal was to farm in order to
make money.

11. Middle Colonies
Society
• When the English took "New Amsterdam" from
the Dutch, they called it New York.
• Quakers seeking religious freedom settled
Pennsylvania.
• Pennsylvania Dutch- German speaking
Protestants settled central Pennsylvania

• Elected Assemblies- Representing the
colonists
• Settlers moving into Native American lands
was a primary concern for local officials

14. Southern Colonies
Environment and Economy
• Rich soil, warm weather, long growing season
• Tobacco, indigo, and rice became the major
cash crops of the southern colonies. These
cash crops were grown on large plantations of
land that needed large numbers of workers.
Indentured servants were first used. As their
numbers dwindled, slaves were used. A small
number of people owned large amounts of
land that was given to them just for showing
up.
