The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.
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

INTRODUCTION
A black screen is the only thing visible while a backing
track is playing, the scene then opens with the sound of a
bell ringing establishing shots of Ringwood School while
all the students are leaving at the end of the school day.
The final establishing shot is still and we then see
several different legs.
SCENE 1: EXT - OUTSIDE SCHOOL - AFTERNOON
The shot then changes so we can see our main group of
characters (CAMERON, DAVID, JAMES, JACK, JACOB) walking
away from the school all in a conversation.
JAMES
That was such a shit day
*GROUP LAUGHS*
CAMERON
What time’s everyone out tonight then?
DAVID
Think we should meet at 8
JACK
Fine with me
JACOB
Yeah
CAMERON
Yeah. James?
JAMES looks up from his phone
JAMES
Yeah, should be ok I think
DAVID
Alright sick, I’ll go get drinks
3. 3
JACK
I can’t wait to go out, I’ve needed it
CAMERON
Think we all do.
All characters continue walking down the street,
there is then a shot of the weird kid, WILL. The
group notices him in the distance and start making
rude comments towards him.
CAMERON
Look at him, what a twat
*Group laughs*
DAVID
Where are you going mate!?
JACK
Definitely off to see all his girls
JAMES
Look how he quick he’s walking, fuckin’
racing off
CAMERON
Slow down a minute, we want to talk
JACOB
Look he has drinks sticking out his bag,
David I dare you to go and steal it.
DAVID
Alright, what for?
JACK
Nobody’s going to give you any money
DAVID
Ok then, I’ll do it anyway. He won’t do
shit back to me
4. 4
The group agrees on this idea and begins to run towards
WILL, we see this from an over the shoulder shot. The group
run towards WILL grabbing his bag and wrestling for the
drink sticking out of the bag.
WILL
Just leave me alone!
The group manages to take the bag away and push WILL to the
ground, they take the drink out and throw the bag to the
ground. The group runs off laughing.
CAMERON
Dickhead!
JAMES slows down and turns to WILL on the floor
JAMES
Sorry mate
He then joins the group running off into the distance, we
then see a shot of WILL sat on the floor next to his bag
staring at the group running away.
The shot cuts to black with a sound effect.
SCENE 1: DRINKING
The scene starts with an upbeat backing track playing with
the text: 8pm Poulner
CAMERON and DAVID arrive the latest and are speaking about
stealing the drinks off WILL
CAMERON
I feel bad for him now
DAVID
Who gives a shit, it was so funny. Did you
see his face?
They both start laughing and joking about the situation as
the shot moves to an establishing shot of the new location
where the other 3 friends are already sat at the bench
drinking, there is then a few shots of DAVID and CAMERON
jumping over the fence to get the rest of the group. The
5. 5
backing track turns diegetic as the group are playing the
song.
DAVID
Alright boys?
The group all get up and greet each other, and then all sit
back on the bench and start drinking.
CAMERON
When did you all get here?
JACK
Like 10 minutes ago, but I think Jacob’s
already drunk
JACOB
No! I’m completely fine *he slurs his
words*
JAMES
How’ve you managed that?
JACOB
I said I’m not drunk! I’m fine
DAVID
Anyway, I brought the drink, who want’s
some?
The group then passes round the large bottle containing the
blue liquid all taking big sips, Jacob drinks the largest
amount and Cameron only tries a small amount.
JACK
That was disgusting, who would buy that?
CAMERON
I didn’t even have that much because it
smelt awful.
JACOB
It was fine, stop moaning
6. 6
The group laughs at Jacob
JACOB
I need a piss, someone come with me
DAVID
Need someone to hold your hand?
JAMES
No, not his hand
Groups start laughing at him so JACOB stumbles away from
the group towards some trees.
JACOB
Fine, don’t worry then!
JACK
David would, but it’s too dark for him
DAVID
Shut the fuck up
The group laughs and goes back to drinking and turns away
from JACOB.
SCENE 2
He then stumbles away on his own away from the group, once
he reaches the trees we see an over the shoulder shot of
the friends behind him, the camera then changes to the
other shoulder and there is then an open area, the camera
goes to the original shoulder and we see the bench and all
the group have gone, again, the camera switches shoulder
and we see a dark figure wearing a dark robe, a half
balaclava and gloves. The figure is holding an axe dragging
it along the floor as he walks towards JACOB.
There is then a shot of JACOB from behind where he is
urinating, and we see a shot of his face looking relieved.
SCENE 3: EXT FOREST
The same close up follows JACOB’s head as he turns around
to notice he is alone in a dark forest. As a tense backing
track starts to play.
7. 7
JACOB
Cameron? Jack? James!?
After he realises he is not with his friends and completely
alone, lost, he enters a panic and turns his flashlight on
from his phone. There is a few shots of him walking through
the forest. He then decides to sit down because he is
breathing too quick and needs to stop evaluate what’s
happening. As the tense backing track fades out.
JACOB
*exhales* Calm down, just need to find the
way out
In the distance JACOB can just about make out a dark
silhouette of a person.
JACOB
Thank fuck for that. I didn’t mean to walk
this far!
The figure continues to walk towards him, he tense backing
track continues from where it faded.
JACOB (DISTRESSED)
Hello!?
The figure then continues to walk towards him increasing in
pace. JACOB then realises that this isn’t one of his
friends, gets up as quick as possible and begins to run
away. As he turns away to run quicker, he bumps into the
tall dark figure getting knocked to the ground. He then
crawls backwards and struggles on the ground. The dark
figure then pulls back his arms holding an axe, JACOB lets
out a scream as we see the axe slash across the camera.
The camera then changes to the group hearing the same
scream.
CAMERON
What the fuck?
DAVID
Was that Jacob?
8. 8
JAMES
Sounded like him, he never came back
JACK
Probably just lost *laughs*
DAVID
Jack this could be serious, just shut the
fuck up a minute.
CAMERON
Don’t argue about it let’s just go and see
if he’s ok.
JAMES
I’ll wait here
DAVID
What so you can just sit on your phone?
JAMES stares at him and then turns away and pulls out his
phone, DAVID sighs and the group starts to walk towards the
scream.
DAVID
What a dickhead.
We see the group in the distance as James is sat on the
bench on his phone, he then gets a call from DAVID and so
picks up. He believes that they have pocket dialed him and
are taking about him behind his back.
DAVID
*mumbling* He’s just such a prick
sometimes, I don’t like him.
JACK
*mumbling* Yeah, I don’t mind him but he’s
a bit strange
DAVID
*mumbling* Yeah, I just don’t like him
9. 9
JAMES ends the call, and puts his head in his hands crying,
he then gets up and walks away, checking behind him and
checking his phone.
SCENE 3 WHERE ARE WE ETC
JAMES reaches the street and begins to walk home, he checks
his phone and sees that his lock screen is now his friend
JACOB’s lifeless body, he looks up and notices a dark
figure stood in the distance.
JAMES
Hello!?
After getting no reply, JAMES looks around checking if
anyone else can see this figure. After turning around the
figure is no longer in front of him. JAMES enters a panic
and starts calling DAVID, while he is stood waiting for the
him to pick up, we see a shot of JAMES and then two arms
wrap around and begin to choke him.
The shot changes to the group investigating, and DAVID
picks up his phone.
DAVID
Hello? What do you want? Hello?
We see a shot of a cracked phone with DAVID talking next to
JAMES’ body, we then cut back to the group.
DAVID (TO THE OTHERS)
He didn’t say anything
CAMERON
Might have been an accident
JACK
*pointing* Is that Jacob on the floor
there?
We see a shot of JACOB dad on the floor with a gash in his
chest the friends gather round him. All characters enter a
panic.
10. 10
CAMERON
Oh god, I wish someone went with him.
DAVID
Who would’ve done it though?
JACK
Right now, it doesn’t matter let’s leave
before anyone else gets hurt.
The group then begins to walk away at a fast pace.
CAMERON
We need to stick together
JACK
No, I need to go home.
DAVID
What do you mean? Your friend has just
been killed?
JACK
Exactly, I just want to get home, I’ll see
you tomorrow
CAMERON
Really Jack?
JACK
Yes, I don’t want to be here, I’ll see you
in a bit.
WHERE ARE WE?
Jack then walks off on his own and we see him jump the
fence and walk down the street. We then see a shot of
CAMERON and DAVID sat on the bench.
DAVID
Let’s just wait here and figure out what
we’re doing.
11. 11
CAMERON
Yeah, I hope Jack will be alright
DAVID
He wanted to walk off.
We then see a shot of JACK walking down the street and he
hears a laugh from a dark playground and can just about
make out two figures sat on the bench.
JACK
What are you laughing at?
VOICE 1
You look like such a twat *laughs*
JACK
Who do you think you are?
VOICE 2
You’re such a dickhead to your friends
Jack then starts moving towards them.
JACK
What’s your problem?
The two voices then continue laughing, so JACK walks into
the dark corner. All noise then stops as he starts walking
towards them.
JACK
Yeah, you’re not fucking laughing, are
you?
The two figures on the bench look slumped against each
other. JACK then slowly approaches the bench and realises
the two figures are the two dead friends. Jack in shock
starts looking around in a panic. We then see long shot
where the dark figure swings his axe twice and JACK hits
the floor.
SCENE 4
12. 12
We then cut back to DAVID and CAMERON, they are discussing
what they should do.
CAMERON
Do you think we should get back in a
minute?
DAVID
Yeah, I don’t feel great. I just can’t
believe what’s happened tonight, it
doesn’t feel real.
CAMERON
I know I’m worried about Jack and James;
we haven’t heard from them.
DAVID
Yeah can you walk back to mine with me?
The two remaining characters then get up and walk off, we
see a montage of shots of them walking home and there is a
very dark mood with low lighting.
They then reach the house and DAVID enters he then stands
in the doorway and speaks to CAMERON.
DAVID
Thanks, I’m just so worried, it just
hasn’t really set in yet.
CAMERON
Yeah, let’s just talk about it tomorrow I
just need to process what’s happened.
The two then hug.
DAVID
I’ll see you tomorrow, say when you get
back in.
CAMERON
Yeah, I will, see you tomorrow.
13. 13
DAVID then shuts the door and sits down on the sofa and
puts his head in his hands.
DAVID
Ah fuck, why?
He then gets up and goes to the bathroom to wash his face.
He stares in the mirror for a minute. Then opens the door
and notices all the lights are off.
DAVID
Oh no, no, no.
He turns his phone flashlight on and walks towards turning
the lights on, he turns them back on and walks away to go
upstairs. The lights then turn off again, so DAVID goes to
turn them back on and as he does the hand of the dark
figure grabs his wrist and then hits him over the head with
a bottle. We then see the figure drag his unconscious body
into the bathroom, the figure then gets a knife from the
kitchen and cuts DAVID’s wrists and leaves him to bleed.
SCENE 5
CAMERON is now alone walking down the street in Poulner, it
is very late, so it is quiet and there is nobody around. We
see a few shots of CAMERON walking and then we see a shot
of CAMERON from the front and we see a car emerge from the
end of the road, it follows CAMERON along the road and
around a corner. CAMERON notices that the car will not
leave him, CAAMERON then starts to increase his pace and
the car matches it, they do this until CAMERON is
sprinting. He keeps turning to look at the car and running
down the road. The car then catches up and gets very close
to the camera. The car lights get too close and cover the
camera.
It transitions to a light in the garage where CAMERON is
looking up at the light, he notices he is strapped to a
chair, along with all his friends who are all dead apart
from DAVID who is still shaking and quivering. CMAERON
begins to loosen the rope.
CAMERON
Fucking hell *groans*, what’s happening?
14. 14
There is then footsteps and the garage door opens and the
dark figure is in shock that CMAERON is awake.
CAMERON
Who are you?
WILL
How are you awake?
CAMERON
You piece of shit, why did you do this?
WILL
Because I’m in power now! None of you
could do anything.
CAMERON
You know these people have families
wondering where they are.
WILL
I couldn’t give less of a shit about any
of them, they never cared about me.
CAMERON
I don’t understand how you knew about my
car crash
WILL
Oh, I didn’t, all of you always push me
about and take things, I knew you’d take
the drink.
CAMERON
What’s that got to do with it?
WILL
It’s a hallucinogenic drug, it went into
the back of all your minds, and I got,
watch all of it.
He takes his mask off and takes his hood down. He then
starts cleaning the blood of the kitchen knife. CAMERON
15. 15
notices a wrench on the floor and begins to loosen the
rope.
WILL
It’s pointless. You have nothing.
The rope falls to the floor, and CAMERON runs and pushes
WILL to the floor, he grabs the wrench and hits will on the
head. WILL falls to the floor and CAMERON looks around at
his dead friends and finds all the tools used to torture
his friends.
CAMERON
You useless
He hits WILL with the wrench.
CAMERON
Worthless
He hits him again twice.
CAMERON
Piece of shit!
All sound in the scene then cuts, and a backing track plays
while CAMERON beats WILL’s body with the wrench, filled
with emotion CAMERON continues after WILL is no longer
moving. We then see car lights shine over the garage with
blue strobe lights and we faintly hear sirens, CAMERON
stops and stands up, in shock, realises what he’s done.
There is then faint shouting over the backing track of the
police.
POLICE OFFICER
Stop! Put the weapon down!
CAMERON stands up with the wrench in his hand staring at
the police officers. They point the guns at him and
continue shouting.
POLICE OFFICER
Put it down!
16. 16
We then hear a gunshot as all sound stops and the shot cuts
to black. There is silence for 3 seconds and the credits
then roll followed by a musical score.
