The document discusses the importance of critical reading for critical writing. It defines critical reading as making judgments about how a text is argued by reflecting on the thinking and research that has already been done on the subject. The keys to critical reading are to read looking for ways of thinking about the subject matter rather than just for information. When reading, the reader should avoid simply extracting facts and instead ask how the text works, how it is argued, how it reaches its conclusions, and how it can help develop their own argument.

Interested in helping students become better readers, writers, and criticial thinkers? We need to “play with media” to become more effective communicators and improve our media literacy skills as both learners and citizens. As you learn to play with digital text, images, audio and video, you will communicate more creatively and flexibly with a wider variety of options. Author and educator Wesley Fryer will inspire and empower you, as a creative person, to expand your personal senses of digital literacy and digital agency as a multimedia communicator!

This is a draft of the presentation that will be given at the HEA Social Sciences annual conference - Teaching forward: the future of the Social Sciences. For further details of the conference: http://bit.ly/1cRDx0p Bookings open until 14 May 2014 http://bit.ly/1hzCMLR or external.events@heacademy.ac.uk ABSTRACT We report in this presentation on a current project of which the aim is to develop teaching approaches that engage doctoral students in working together as a research community to develop their critical writing and peer reviewing skills. We seek to foster in students a sense of collective endeavour in developing writing and research, and to encourage the sharing of ideas, drafts, and semi-formed thoughts in an atmosphere of mutual support. The project was launched via a residential critical writing weekend for students, featuring a range of taught sessions focussing on aspects of critical writing and reviewing and featuring opportunities for students to engage in peer assessment activities. The students then formed an editorial board for an online journal for doctoral students, through which they are involved in critical writing, reviewing, providing feedback, editing and publishing a journal.

1 hour version of 1.5 hour session (cuts out one hands on exercise) Looks at Critical Evaluation in terms of: - what is meant by critical reading/thinking - the ecology of resources - thinking about your evaluative criteria (what you bring to the table, and what the authors you read have brought to the table) - Key means of 'evaluating' a text (relevance, authority, objectivity, methodology, presentation and currency).

Getting Started 2. Reading Critically for College and for Life © The McGraw−Hill Companies, 2011 2 Chapter 15 Reading Critically for College and for Life In Chapter 1, we considered how writing skills will serve you in the academic, professional, civic, and personal areas of your life. This chapter focuses on an activity that reinforces and helps you improve your writing skills: reading. When we read, we make meaning out of words on a page or computer screen. We also “read” photo- graphs and other visual images. Actually, then, reading is the active process of constructing meaning. In this chapter, we ask you to consider how you now read different kinds of material and give you some helpful reading strategies. Specifi cally, the chapter presents prereading strategies, strategies for reading actively, and postreading strategies. All of these strategies will help you better understand what you read and use that information to make your own writing more effective. In your college classes, you will be asked to read (and write) about all kinds of print and digital texts for all kinds of purposes. More often than not, you will use some of what you read in the papers that you write for your college classes. The connection between what you read and how you use that material in your writing requires you to read critically. What does it mean to read critically? One thing reading critically does not mean is to be “nit-picky” or negative. Rather, when you read a text critically, you quest ...

How to Break the cycle of negative Thoughts

Col Mukteshwar Prasad

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”.

Operation Blue Star - Saka Neela Tara

Balvir Singh

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. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

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.
