Background When the first world war began, African American leaders.docxlascellesjaimie
Background: When the first world war began, African American leaders pressed the government to provide Black men the right to go to combat to prove their devotion to their country. Hoping that their service would lay a stake on citizenship that the nation would have no choice but to honor, the “New Negro” of the 1920s adopted a more militant stance toward civil rights. The civil rights struggle envisioned at the time, however, made few concrete gains. Discrimination and disenfranchisement persisted.
African American leaders responded to the second world war much as they had to the first, offering their services while expecting recognition in return. They intended to fight a “Double-V” campaign against fascism abroad and racism at home. They helped to kill fascism abroad; racist policies at home survived, but only for a time. Less than a decade after the war ended, the Brown case struck down the principle of “separate but equal” in schools. A grass-roots movement emerged to challenge discrimination elsewhere. By 1965, nonviolent means had murdered Jim Crow. Yet, the1960s were nothing if not a violent decade, marred by war, riots, and assassinations. By the end of the decade, Americans were as divided in some ways as they had ever been, and hopes for integration into a single American nation largely gave way to an emphasis on the unique needs and interests of different groups within the nation.

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.
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.

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.
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.

10. Experience of Black Soldiers
WWII: Knowledge
Despite the US army being segregated (troops blood supply), black servicemen in
Europe had freedoms they had never experienced in America. Even in prisoner of
war camps, black airmen were treated as officers regardless of their colour.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltVtnCzg9xw
This led to the development of the Double V campaign. Black Americans were
fighting for a victory against the racism and hatred of Hitler in Germany AND
victory in the battle for Civil Rights at home in America.
Furthermore, During the Second World War, A. Philip Randolph threatened a mass protest
march in Washington unless discrimination in defence industry jobs and in the armed forces
was ended. In 1941 Randolph and other black leaders met President Roosevelt with three
demands: an end to segregation and discrimination in federal government jobs, an end
to segregation of the armed forces and government support for an end to
discrimination and segregation in all jobs in the USA.
11. Experience of Black Soldiers
WWII: Analysis
Black Soldiers discovered that racial discrimination
was not nearly as oppressive in European countries
like Great Britain and France. This grew the CRM
because …for the first time, many people realized
that the United States could become a land without
racial discrimination.
As a response to Randolph’s strike President
Roosevelt signed Executive Order 8802
(desegregating the armed forces and setting up of
the Fair Employment Practice Committees). This
action showed how important Federal (National) and
Presidential support would be and that some
Presidents were willing to take action on Civil Rights
Issues.
The issues raised by the Double V campaign helped
set up the Congress of Racial Equality ( CORE)
created by James Farmer which went on to be one of
the main Civil Rights Organisations of the 1950s &
60s.
12. Experience of Black Soldiers
WWII
Analysis (+)
Even though Executive Order 8802 was an important
step in the growth of the CRM, because a President
had taken action, it was largely ignored. 2/3 of
Randolph’s demands were ignored and many claim the
first was only put in place because the government
was desperate for workers during the War. This
showed that the battle for equal civil rights was
going to be tough with limited federal support.
Despite this WWII is often referred to as the seed that saw the Civil
Rights Movement grow. Black people hoped to promote change and joined the
NAACP (membership grew from 50,000 to 450,000). One black soldier said
“After the end of the war we just kept on fighting, its just that simple”

14. Prejudice & Discrimination:
Knowledge 1 – 1954 Supreme Court
Continuing racial discrimination pushed many black
Americans to demand civil rights. The experience of
war emphasised freedom, democracy and human rights
yet in the USA Jim Crow laws still existed and lynching
went unpunished. (Topic sentence)
One of the first sparks that gave the Civil Rights
Movement hope was the 1954 Supreme Court Decision
in Brown vs Board of Education. With the help of
Thurgood Marshall of the NAACP, Linda Browns father
took the Topeka Board of Education to court for not
allowing his 7 year old daughter to go to a (better &
closer) white only school.
The Supreme Court ruled unanimously (9-0) that
‘separate but equal’ had no place in education and
that segregation in schools would be deemed illegal.
15. Prejudice &
Discrimination: Analysis
This was a huge boost for the Civil Rights Movement. If
segregation was unlawful in the field of education the same
could be argued for all areas. Furthermore this showed that
the highest court in the land was willing to rule in favour of
blacks. The NAACP knew that further cases in relation to
cafes, bus etc. a victory was achievable.
(Analysis +)
Despite the legal victory, full segregation of schools in
America was far from a reality. By 1956 not a single black
student went to a white school in the South.
Furthermore, many argue that the Supreme Court decision was
more of a propaganda stunt to look like a free and fair country
during the Cold War with the USSR.
16. Prejudice & Discrimination
Knowledge 2 – Little Rock
• As a response to the 1954 Supreme Court decision, the NAACP tried to get 9 black
students in to Little Rock Central High School, Arkansas.
• These 9 were specially selected by the NAACP as they were the brightest in the
state so the school could not complain they were lowering their standards.
• However, Arkansas Governor Orval Faubas was against integration. He sent state
soldiers to the school to stop the black students entering. An angry mob of white
people also surrounded the school.
• The NAACP called off the pupils from going to preserve their safety. But one pupil,
Elizabeth Eckford, did not receive the call.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xERXusiEszs
17. Prejudice &
Discrimination: Analysis
The events at Little Rock grew the CRM due to the media attention and
news cameras present. People from within and outwith the USA were
shocked at the treatment of children for just trying to go to school.
It also gave Roosevelt a difficult decision – a state was actively going
against federal law. As a response he brought in paratroopers to defend the
black pupils and even escorted them from class to class for a full year. This
showed that a President was willing to stand up to Southern politicians
and it was a huge boost for all involved in the Civil Rights Campaign
Analysis (+)
Despite this, Faubus was re-elected and instead of integrating schools he
decided to close them all together. This was a better option for
Southerners than integration. Even when they re-opened by 1964 only 3% of
black children went to integrated schools.
18. Prejudice & Discrimination
Knowledge 3 – Emmett Till 1955
In 1955 a brutal example of Southern ‘justice’ shocked the world
and put the Civil Rights Campaign on the worlds stage.
• 14 year old Emmett Till was visiting family in Mississippi
(South) from his home Chicago (North).
• Emmett bragged to his cousins that his girlfriend in the North
was white. On the way out of a shop he allegedly flirted with a
white shopkeeper. (actions that wouldn’t be a big deal in his home in the North)
• As a punishment, the woman's husband and brother brutally
killed young Emmitt.
• A Mississippi court cleared both men of murder in a trial that
lasted just 67 minutes.
19. Prejudice &
Discrimination: Analysis
Analysis
The Emmett Till case had a big effect on the development of the civil
rights movement due to the publicity of the trial. Despite being
virtually unrecognisable due to being beaten up so badly, Emmett’s
mother insisted on showing her son’s corpse in an open coffin which
shocked both local people and the nation.
Lynching's were no longer confined to the South,
even if the Mississippi jury did nothing about
the Murder the widespread media attention
meant that the world knew and the Civil Rights
movement gained support from many as a result.
20. Prejudice & Discrimination:
Knowledge 4 – 1955 Montgomery Bus
boycott
The Montgomery bus boycott was one of the first
successes of the Civil Rights Movement.
Buses in Montgomery were segregated, one day NAACP
member Rosa Parks was sat on the bus and asked to
move back to allow a white member of the public to sit.
She was arrested and fined for her act.
The NAACP had anticipated this and organised a one
day boycott of all the buses. Led by local minister
Martin Luther King the bus boycott eventually lasted 13
months. Throughout the bus boycott, Martin Luther
King inspired the black population of Montgomery to
keep up the pressure for their civil rights. The black
population ‘pooled’ or shared their car instead of using
the local buses.
21. Prejudice &
Discrimination: Analysis
Analysis
In the face of continued prejudice & discrimination the bus boycott had
a huge effect on the ensuing Civil Rights Movement.
1.It showed how effective peaceful, non violent protests could be. This is the
tactics blacks used throughout the CRM.
2.It showed the financial and economic power that blacks had. 70% of the
riders were black and yet they were treated as 2nd class. The company had an
important decision to make, desegregate or go out of business.
3.It brought Martin Luther King to the forefront of the CRM. In 1957 the
South Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) was set up.
In December 1956, the Supreme Court declared that segregation on
Alabama’s buses was unconstitutional. However, the bus companies had
already begun desegregating due to loss of revenue.
The success of the Bus Boycott in Montgomery had wide reaching
consequence and led to important protests elsewhere.
22. Prejudice &
Discrimination: Analysis
Analysis (+)
• However, the Montgomery Bus Boycott was only a
limited success as there was still segregation in
theatres, poolrooms and restaurants. Rosa Parks
received death-threats and was forced to leave
Montgomery; it became harder for African-Americans
to find employment in Montgomery; homes of leading
black people were destroyed, including King’s home,
where his wife and seven-week old baby narrowly
escaped injury. Unfortunately, by 1963 it was reported
that most African-Americans had accepted their
inferior position in society and had returned to sitting
at the back of the bus as they had prior to the
boycott.
• Despite these obstacles, the bus boycott led to the
growth of the civil rights movement because it
achieved a small success and encouraged campaigners
to continue and to keep going in their fight for
equality.

24. Martin Luther King: Knowledge
King became the most well-known and effective spokesperson of the civil
rights protest.
King was an inspirational speaker and leader who was prepared to be
arrested, criticised and even put his own life at risk for the cause of civil
rights. MLK believed that non-violent, peaceful civil disobedience was the
best weapon in the fight for civil rights. King felt that if a law was wrong
then the citizens of a country had both the right and responsibility to
protest about it. He believed in endless protests to wear down the
resistance of white racists.
In the early 1960s, he led many demonstrations in the South aimed at
ending segregation and allowing black Americans to vote freely.
• 1955 Montgomery Bus Boycott (p15)
• 1963 March on Birmingham (p27)
• 1963 March on Washington (I have a dream) (p29)
• 1965 March on Selma (p30)
25. Martin Luther King Knowledge
King was a very good organiser and planner. He was able to draw a crowd when
he spoke and also carefully chose the best places to hold protests. He needed
a reaction from whites and was even arrested on a number of occasions. The
fact that a high profile celebrity was being arrested captured headlines and
gave the Civil Rights Campaign much needed media coverage.

26. MLK: Analysis (how he grew the CRM?)
Analysis (basic)
MLK won the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize for his
campaigning. This was a huge international
recognition and it gave the Civil Rights Campaign
global support. This continued to put pressure on
the US Government to make changes as the
world was watching (particularly during ideological struggle with
USSR)
MLK was able to gain universal support for his non-
violent methods and showed what blacks could
achieve. White people joined the movement
alongside blacks and marched, sat and rallied in
support of equal civil rights. 250,000 people of all
races were present for MLK’s I have a Dream
27. MLK:
Analysis (+)
In 1961 King led a March in Albany. Firstly, many opposed
his involvement as groups like SNCC wanted it to be led by
local protesters. At the march King was arrested but no one
was charged and everyone released. There was no violent
reaction and the media were not interested. King returned
to Atlanta and this showed that the reaction of whites was
much more significant to the CRM than MLK.
Furthermore, many blacks, and other groups within the
CRM did not agree with Kings non-violent methods and slow
progress. Members of the SNCC (Student Non-violent
Coordinating Committee) were eager to break away from
Kings strategy.

30. Black Civil Rights Groups (K)
NAACP (1909) – legal victories in the courtroom that
huge impact on Civil Rights Movement (1954 brown vs
Board of Education)
CORE (1942) – Organised the March on Washington and
Freedom Rides (encouraged white members to join
CRM)
Although new groups were emerging both the NAACP and CORE continued to operate
and enjoyed increasing membership. For many people these organisations with their
long history of campaigning offered the most clearly defined path to involvement
with the Civil Rights Movement and particularly appealed to whites who wanted to
help the campaign.
Congress of Racial Equality
31. Black Civil Rights Groups (K)
SCLC 1957 (Southern Christian Leadership Conference) –
The SCLC began to co-ordinate the work of civil rights groups in various parts of the
country and gained a great deal of national attention and support through King’s
regular appearances on television. The key aspect of the campaigns of the SCLC was
the continued and consistent use of non-violent protests.

32. Black Civil Rights Groups (K)
SNCC 1960 (Student Non-violent Coordination Committee) –
Appealing to younger, aspirational black Americans who wanted a better future for
themselves than their parents had, the group enjoyed most of its support in the
major northern cities and university towns where restrictions on black entry to
higher education were much less strict and, in some cases, had disappeared
altogether.
Action – Organised the Sit Ins & took part in Freedom Rides (p22-25*)

33. Black Civil Rights Groups : Analysis
Each of the Civil Rights Groups brought there own
success to the campaign – but they all showed how
successful blacks could be if they worked together.
The Growth of the Civil Rights Movement can be clearly
seen by the Growth of Membership in each of the
organisations. More people, both black and white,
were willing to get involved with protest’s and stand
up for the rights of blacks.
The combined actions of these organisations
breathed new life into the Civil Rights movement and
ended discrimination in many public places including
restaurants, hotels, and theatres. These successes
furthered encouraged the development of the Civil
Rights campaign to demand more.
34. Black Civil Rights Groups :
Analysis
Successes of the groups (how they grew Civil Rights Movement)
SNCC – Sit Ins created huge media attention (TV), blacks and whites were being
assaulted for sitting at a table and this shocked the world. Over 70,000 protesters in 55
cities took part showing how quickly they could mobilise people. Lunch counters were
desegregated in the South.
Freedom Rides were met with extreme violence, blacks and whites proved they were
willing to risk their life for the campaign for equal Civil Rights. Again the media captured
the brutal events and this grew sympathy and support for the movement.
The Freedom Rides and the Sit-Ins demonstrated that anyone who opposed segregation could take direct action
themselves to bring about the end of discrimination. This grew the Civil Rights campaign because it meant anyone
could take action
SCLC - MLK led the March on Birmingham which saw police dogs and water cannons used on black
protesters. This image was broadcast worldwide, and King who was now a national and international
celebrity was in prison. This put huge pressure on the US government to take action and led to the
desegregation of the most segregated town in America.
( A+ However, the white south did not respond well and reacted with the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing showing
that segregation was not always going to be accepted)
35. Emergence of effective black leaders:
Knowledge
The Civil Rights Campaigns was led by many other great speakers and
motivators who often held different beliefs to MLK.
• Malcom X (pp34-36)
Malcolm X was an articulate although confrontational speaker who became a preacher
for the Nation of Islam and spoke against King’s belief in non-violence. Malcolm X
believed non-violence meant being defenceless and stated that black people had to work
out their own futures without relying on white help. Malcolm X was one of the first
black Civil Rights activists to draw attention to the problems of crime, and
unemployment in the ghettos of American cities.
• Stokely Carmichael (pp37-38)
Many young black Americans living in the ghettos were attracted to the more extreme
ideas of Stokely Carmichael and ‘Black Power ’A direct ideas descendant of Marcus
Garvey and his Back to Africa ’movement. Many black Americans no longer believed that
non-violence was the way forward
• Black Panthers (pp39-40)
The Black Panthers attracted attention and headline news contributing to the Civil
Rights campaign. The Black Panther Party for Self- Defence was founded in 1966 by
Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale. The Black Panthers represented the opposite of
Martin Luther King’s ideas and supported the anti-white, black separatist ideas of
Stokely Carmichael and Malcolm X. The Black Panthers became very popular among
young black Americans in the big cities and gained a lot of publicity for their support
and help programmes in the city which actually made a difference to black lives.
36. Emergence of effective black leaders:
Analysis
On one hand, the more radical leaders showed that
black people were no longer willing to put up with the
violence that they were receiving. This undoubtedly
scared white politicians into action. They also had the
support of thousands of blacks who wanted to be proud
of their black heritage and stand up for themselves
and their families.
Analysis (+)
However, on the other hand, the black radicals also
split opinions across the nation. Because many did not
support violence and hatred as preached by Malcom X
& the Black Panthers many (including whites) were put
off and it can be argued they had a negative effect on
the Civil Rights Campaign.
37. Essay Question
22
“The Experience of Black Service Men in the second World War
was the most important factor to the growth of the Civil
Rights Campaign after 1945.”
How valid is this view?
Writing the essay;
Use the slides and the booklet to get RAD facts. The content on these slides are not
enough alone to gain knowledge marks (especially for MLK and CR groups). Need to find good
examples to support your K. (slides have page numbers to look for).
We are going to do a period on peer marking next Monday. You will compare essays
with someone else in class and give them feedback. If you can mark an essay you
can write an essay.
38. Background (2 points)
Lack of Civil Rights – despite federal support after civil war
blacks still 2nd class citizens.
Jim Crow laws and KKK made it impossible to fight back.
Lack of unity in black organisations also stopped progress.
Combination of Factors were significant including.

and gain support including – ___________________________
Line of Argument
This essay will argue that the experience of soldiers in WII
was not the most important reason for the growth but
instead __________________
39. Clear line of Argument
Overall the most important growth of the Civil Rights Movement was the work of Civil Rights Groups.
Compare each factor back to the line of argument
(balance)
Although Racism and prejudice continued to shock the nation, it was groups like the NAACP at Little Rock
and SNCC at Sit Ins that got the whites to react and gained the media attention.
Also MLK was significant face of the movement but he relied on the groups like CORE putting on buses
and trains to get the 250,000 people to the march on Washington that put MLK on the global stage.
Two overall reasons why it was most significant
(judgement)
This clearly shows that the Civil Rights Groups were key to the growth as they mobilised every day
Americans and proved they could make the difference too. By taking part in protests whites were
encouraged to join and the vast numbers of protesters is what ultimately encouraged other Americas to
take action and stand for what is right instead of ignoring it as not their problem.
