This document provides instructions for students to design an isodemographic map of Canada as a culminating activity. Students will calculate population percentages and determine the number of squares to allocate to each province/territory based on a multiplier. They will then create a rough draft of the map and transfer it to a final copy, adding labels, colors, and a scale. The document outlines the timeline for in-class preparation periods and the final deadline.

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.
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”.

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.
1. CGC Culminating Activity 2012
Welcome to your Grade 9 Canadian Geography Culminating Activity for the 2011-2012
school year.
Your job is to design and produce an
isodemographic map of Canada.
As we already know, many different kinds of maps may be drawn to illustrate any
number of different features or characteristics. The prefix “ISO” means equal.
“DEMOGRAPHY” refers to the study of population. Therefore an isodemographic map
shows the size of the province as determined by the population of the province - not on
the basis of its physical size. Therefore, the largest province on the map will be Ontario -
not Quebec. This is because Ontario has more people than Quebec.
The procedure for drawing an isodemographic map is straightforward if you follow the
steps included in this packet, and discussed by your teacher.

2. Step #1: Calculate the percentage population by Prov/Terr.
To calculate the percent: (prov/terr pop) / (Canada pop) x 100
Step #2: Calculate the number of squares per thousand per Prov/
Terr.
“Per thousand” refers to the number of squares each province or territory would account for if
all of Canada were represented by 1000 squares. To calculate this simply multiply the percent
for each province or territory by 10 (and round accordingly!!)
Step #3: Calculate the number of squares per Prov/Terr based upon the size
of your finished map.
“Multiplier” will typically be a number between one and four. This is the number of thousand’s
of squares which will be the total finished size of your map. You multiply each province or
territory “per 1000” by this number to generate the total number of squares you will assign to
each.
Decide on the number of squares that you wish to use to represent Canada. Your number must
be a multiple of 1000. A recommendation is that you work with no less than 1000 and no more
than 4000 squares. Once you have decided on the size of your map enter your number in the
“multiplier” column. Now, calculate the total number of squares for each province/territory and
fill in the total number of squares for Canada.
Step #4: Plan, and prepare, your rough copy
Use the graph paper provided to construct the rough copy of your isodemographic map of
Canada. Organise your squares into a pattern which resembles - as closely as possible - the
outline map of Canada. Alternatively, you may choose to organise your “map” into some iconic,
Canadian symbol (or representation).
If your map is larger than one sheet... simply tape the sheets together on the reverse side. You
would be well advised to bring in a paper towel roll, or two toilet paper rolls, to transport your
finished copy paper without incident.
Step #5: Transfer your rough work to your finished paper
Draw a heavy marked outline around each of your provinces. Lay a clean sheet of paper for your
final copy over your rough copy and trace your provincial and territorial outlines.
Step #6: Finishing Touches
Complete your isodemographic map as follows:
• draw a border around the finished map (as appropriate... if in doubt, discuss with your
teacher). The border should be an equal width all the way around the page
• title your map appropriately
• colour your map - each province must be clearly identifiable (as appropriate) and no two
adjacent provinces should be the same colour or design
• give your map a scale (of some variety!!... talk to your teacher for suggestions)
• include a legend (as necessary)
• put your name on the back
