The hunger games mockingjay part 2
The Hunger Games Mockingjay Part 2 is a film review that summarizes the movie as an action, love, and drama film about the battle between The Capitol and rebel groups trying to survive attacks. The reviewer recommends the film for teenagers, gives it 8 out of 10 stars, and their favorite scene involves an important action by Katniss in history.
Catching fire
The document summarizes the cover design and key plot points from the book "Catching Fire" by Suzanne Collins. The cover features a mockingjay to symbolize rebellion and equality. Early plot points discussed include Katniss returning home after winning the Hunger Games and sparking rebellion, and her efforts to stop the rebellion by getting engaged to Peeta, which fails. Later summaries discuss Katniss and Peeta making alliances to survive in the arena with past victors, their plan to escape being put into action without Katniss' knowledge, and her learning from Haymitch that the victors were rescued in a plan to defy the president while also finding out District 12 has been bombed.
How do you know
This document presents several scenarios and asks the reader to determine if the person in each scenario made a good moral decision based on the Ten Commandments and teachings of Jesus. It provides situations involving a student accepting test answers, taking a phone call while driving, making rude comments to a cashier, finding money on the floor, and missing church for a soccer game. The reader is prompted to explain how they know if each decision was right or wrong based on biblical principles.
Plot Structure
The narrator realized he had feelings for a girl he knew long ago. He told his friends and they encouraged him to confess his feelings. He mustered his courage and confessed to her, but she revealed she was committed to someone else. Though hurt, his friends comforted him. In time, though they did not become a couple, she became his best friend.
Emilydavisonpres
Emily Davison was a suffragette who died after stepping onto the racetrack at the 1913 Epsom Derby and was struck by the King's horse. She had considered a less dangerous protest at the Derby by waving the suffragette flag but her final actions and lack of a farewell message suggest her purpose may have been more serious and she intended to sacrifice herself for the cause of women's suffrage. Her friend believed she would not have died without writing to her mother, indicating it was a deliberate act. She deeply cared about freedom and equality for women.

Information and freedom
This document discusses the tension between information freedom and censorship on the internet. It notes that while the internet has allowed for greater access to information worldwide, many nations still censor and restrict their citizens' access. It also explores the debate around whether exposing suppressed information or protecting government secrets is more important, using examples like government censorship during protests versus risks to military operations from leaked confidential data. The document examines how new technologies like social media have enabled real-time communication and organization of events like protests and revolutions but have also given governments new ways to censor or cut communications during such events.
Info opinion survey
The document appears to be an information opinion survey asking a respondent to rate their level of agreement with various statements about information, technology, and society on a scale of 1 to 5. There are 24 statements presented covering topics such as access to information, the reliability of online information, file sharing, social networking, privacy, and the impact of technology on knowledge and behavior. The respondent is asked to indicate whether they strongly disagree, disagree, have no opinion, agree, or strongly agree with each statement.

Fall 2010 report
Meghan Stigge, the school librarian at Piper High School, submitted a semester report on the library's activities in the fall of 2010. Feedback from teachers praised the quality of students' work after receiving instruction from the librarian on topics like PowerPoint literacy. The librarian also offered tech tips that one teacher planned to teach all students. Subjects taught through collaboration included primary sources, book talks, image copyright, and research skills. Usage statistics showed over 750 books checked out, 189 class visits, and over 600 new website visits. Goals for the upcoming semester included revamping research lessons, increasing blogging for collaboration, weeding and reorganizing the fiction section, and creating a procedures manual.
Picking quality and using information
This document provides guidance on conducting research and using information sources. It discusses the reliability of different types of sources like books and online sources. It emphasizes that research databases provide quality, published information and can generate citations automatically. General websites found through search engines require more scrutiny to evaluate reliability. The document advises students on how to search for information online, including checking the "About" page and URL for credibility clues. It stresses that students' projects are only as strong as the information used and describes paraphrasing and quoting information found during research. The overall message is to use information wisely and appropriately cite all sources.
Books Databases and Destiny
The library's collection is outdated, with an average copyright age of 1987, meaning resources were published 9 years before most current students were born. A survey of faculty found that access to e-resources and databases are highly important, scoring on average above 4 out of 5 on importance scales. The librarian is submitting requisitions for new nonfiction books, two online databases covering various subjects, and an upgrade to the library software to allow students and staff to search resources.
Powerpoint design lesson plan
This document provides an overview of a PowerPoint design and resources lesson plan for high school students. The lesson plan includes reviewing media and content standards, analyzing examples of good and bad slide design, and practicing slide design in a 1 hour and 15 minute class period. Students will apply what they learn to design slides for an upcoming speech on organizations.
Better Powerpoint Slides
This document provides tips for creating a better PowerPoint presentation. It recommends keeping slides simple with sparse text and clear visuals such as your own pictures, diagrams, and charts. Study 1 discussed composing slides for a 15 minute in-lab activity. Following the tips can help lead to great delivery, amazing speeches, and a positive impact on the audience. The document works cited 3 sources for visuals and recommends themes to tie the presentation together.
Info Evaluation & Citation- HS student research
The document provides information about the Mexican axolotl. It describes the axolotl as a carnivore up to 12 inches long that retains larval characteristics throughout its life. It is found only in the lake complex of Xochimilco near Mexico City, according to the source National Geographic. The document also provides citations for two sources of information about the axolotl.
Defining research needs
This document is a lesson plan by Meghan Stigge, a school librarian at Piper High School, for teaching students how to better define their information needs for research projects or papers. The 60-minute lesson involves having students identify their research topic or thesis, brainstorm related concepts and questions using an online tool, discuss possible research sources as a class, and then select the top six sources that are best suited to their specific information needs and topic. The lesson aims to help students develop their research strategies and ability to conduct independent learning.
Digital annotation using diigo
This document provides instructions for a lesson on digital annotation using Diigo. The lesson is intended to improve students' reading skills and last approximately one class period. Students will set up Diigo accounts, read and annotate a text by highlighting important information and adding sticky notes with questions, related knowledge, opinions, and a summary including the author's purpose. Then students will evaluate a classmate's annotations using an evaluation form before returning to improve their own annotations based on the feedback. The teacher can assess the lesson through student completion of peer evaluations or by grading individual student annotations within private accounts or collaborative class groups on Diigo.
Back to School Presentation
The document discusses various statistics related to information availability and sources online. It notes that Google indexes over 1 trillion unique URLs, Wikipedia has over 2.6 million English articles written by 75,000 contributors, and TechCrunch has over 1.75 million RSS subscribers. The document also states that as much information is now created every two days as was created from the dawn of civilization until 2003. It concludes by questioning whether current lessons are adequately preparing students for the information-heavy 21st century careers in fields like data processing and computer systems design.

LAND 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

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.
