Elizabeth I faced several challenges as Queen of England, including being a female ruler in a time when women did not typically hold such power. She also had to navigate tensions between Catholics and Protestants after the religious changes under her siblings. Additionally, Mary Queen of Scots posed a threat to Elizabeth's rule as Mary had a claim to the English throne. Elizabeth overcame these problems through carefully cultivating her public image, presenting herself as a powerful monarch. She also pursued a moderate religious policy to avoid alienating either Catholics or more radical Protestants. However, Mary Queen of Scots continued to challenge Elizabeth through plots against her, ultimately leading to Mary's execution for treason.
Elizabeth faced the problem of religion as the country was divided between both Protestant and Catholic. Elizabeth had to deal with the prejudiced ideas of the role and limitations of women which undermined her authority. Economic difficulties included the decline of the cloth industry, inflation and unemployment, which in turn led to greater poverty and vagrancy. The country was poor and England was also at war with Catholic France which led to increased taxation.
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

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.

Odoo provides an option for creating a module by using a single line command. By using this command the user can make a whole structure of a module. It is very easy for a beginner to make a module. There is no need to make each file manually. This slide will show how to create a module using the scaffold method.
2. In this lesson we are going to examine:
What problems do
you think Elizabeth
might have faced as
Queen of England?
3. What problems do you think Elizabeth
might have faced as Queen of England?
4. All new monarchs face problems, but I
had a particularly challenging time.
Remember that I am
*female
*young (only 25)
* unmarried
* Protestant
* the daughter of Anne Boleyn
5. • I think the biggest problem that
Elizabeth would have faced as Queen
was that...
• This is a problem because...
6. Elizabeth and Religion
• When Mary was Queen of England, she
had people burned for refusing to
become Catholics. Elizabeth had to
find a way to make peace between the
two churches.
Mary and
religion
8. Elizabeth’s dilemma
• She wants England to remain
Protestant, but doesn’t want to make
enemies of the Catholics.
• She also has to face a new church, the
Puritans, who argued that she wasn’t
Protestant enough!
9. What did the Puritans believe?
Our interpretation of the Bible stressed
that the only way in to Heaven was to
pray hard, and work harder!
We thought that Sunday should only be for
praying and church, that our clothes should
be plain and cover us up.
We believed that feasting should be
replaced with fasting.
We thought that even the Protestant church
still was too ‘catholic’ and that there were
too many things being celebrated which
weren’t Christian at all.
10. In this lesson we are going to examine:
How did Elizabeth
overcome the
problems of being a
female ruler?
11. Elizabeth’s image
• Queen Elizabeth knew how to
use her image as propaganda.
This meant she could show
herself to be a powerful rule
through speeches and
portraits
12. These two pictures are from
modern films about Elizabeth.
They are based on contemporary
accounts of Elizabeth’s ‘Tilbury
Speech’ before the Spanish
Armada attacked England
1.What is Elizabeth wearing?
2.Why do you think she chose
to wear this kind of outfit?
13. This film clip is a dramatised
account of Elizabeth’s famous
‘Tilbury Speech’.
The words of the speech were
written down at the time by, so
it is a primary source; these
are Elizabeth’s actual words.
You have a copy of the speech
to read
I am come amongst you, as you see, at
this time, not for my recreation and
disport, but being resolved, in the midst
and heat of the battle, to live and die
amongst you all; to lay down for my God,
and for my kingdom, and my people, my
honour and my blood, even in the dust. I
know I have the body but of a weak and
feeble woman; but I have the heart and
stomach of a king, and of a king of
England too, and think foul scorn that
Parma or Spain, or any prince of Europe,
should dare to invade the borders of my
realm; to which rather than any dishonour
shall grow by me, I myself will take up
arms, I myself will be your general, judge,
and rewarder of every one of your virtues
in the field.
14. Elizabeth’s image
• Elizabeth knew that her image was
very important.
• She could use it as propaganda, to
spread the tales of her power, wealth
and strength.
• Although this is a film clip, it shows you
one view of how striking her image
became.
15. Symbolism
• Symbols were used in
portraits to tell the person
looking at it all about the
person in the picture.
16. On your own copy of this portrait, you
need to find the following symbols;
17. Eyes and ears
These show that
Elizabeth hears and
sees everything and so
knows what is
happening in her
country,
23. Huge head dress
This is to show that
Elizabeth will always
bring food to her
people. It supports her
royal crown.
24. The serpent and heart
The serpent is a sign of
wisdom.
The heart is a symbol that
Elizabeth loves and possesses
her people.
Together they show that
Elizabeth has the wisdom to
control her heart.
25. Angel’s wings
These show that
Elizabeth has heavenly
knowledge. She has
been given her power
by God.
26. Your portrait of Elizabeth
• You each have a template of Elizabeth.
• Your task is to create an image of
Elizabeth which conveys all of her
characteristics
– Strength - married to her country
– Power - purity
– Wealth
– intelligences
27. Remember to
add in symbols
which show
Elizabeth’s
personality
and power.

31. In this lesson we are going to examine:
Why was Mary, Queen
of Scots a threat to
Elizabeth?
Overview
32. Why was Mary, Queen of Scots, a threat
to Elizabeth?
Mary Stuart had been Queen of
France while her first husband
was alive. She was also Queen
of Scotland. She also had a
claim to the English throne.
33.
34. I became Queen of Scotland at
only a few days old, when my
father died.
Even as a child I faced huge
problems;
I had been betrothed (engaged)
to Prince Edward, the son of
Henry VIII
This betrothal was broken off, and I
was married to the Dauphin of
France at the age of five.
This made me Queen of France.
When my first husband (Francis)
died, I returned to Scotland.
Unfortunately, female rulers were
not popular, most of Scotland was
Protestant and I was Catholic, AND
Scotland had been managing quite
well without me!
My second husband was Lord
Darnley. He was handsome,
charming, drunken and a gambler. I
refused to make him King, and this
really soured our relationship. All
this before I was twenty years old!
35.
36. I am John Knox, and I am unofficial leader of the
Protestant Church in Scotland. We call the church the
‘kirk’ in Scottish.
There is only one thing I hate more than having a Queen,
and that is having a Catholic Queen!
37. Can you imagine being a widow and a
queen at the age of 17? I was unpopular
and unhappy. I married my second cousin,
Henry Darnley as he was handsome, and
also a Tudor AND a Stuart. This was a BIG
mistake!
I also think that I should be Queen of England
as I am a Catholic and have a very good claim
to the throne. I get myself mixed up in several
plots against Queen Elizabeth. She finds out
about all of them!
38. As the Queen’s husband, I expected to be
made king, but this never happened.
When Mary became pregnant, I was
totally left out of things. I was really
unpopular and a bit of a waste of space.
My death was a bit of a mystery. My house
was blown up, but I was found dead in the
garden, having been strangled. Some
people said that Mary and her ‘lover’ Earl
of Bothwell were involved.
I was really jealous of Mary’s advisor,
David Rizzio. I thought they were too
close. So I got my friend’s to murder him.
Right in front of Mary. I was NOT clever.
39. Unfortunately for Mary, this
was merely the start of her
problems. She has to face
childbirth, witnessing a
vicious murder, another
marriage, fleeing to a hostile
foreign country, losing
custody of her baby and two
decades in prison
40. Elizabeth’s dilemma
My dilemma is, how far
should I help Mary? She
is after all my cousin, a
monarch, and also a
female ruler.
41. What problems did Mary pose for Elizabeth,
and were they serious enough for Elizabeth
to consider having to execute her?
42.
43. Should Mary be executed?
Execute Mary Don’t execute Mary
44. My conclusion.
• I think that Mary was a real threat to
Elizabeth because…
• (75 words !)
• (use the piece of work you’ve just done
to help you write your conclusion, but
don’t just copy out the columns)
45.
46. • I think Mary was a real threat to
Elizabeth because if she was allowed
to go on writing letters to foreign
rulers….
• (you must use at least THREE of the
reasons from the execute column)
47. In this lesson we are going to:
Evaluate the evidence
to help us decide how
successful Queen
Elizabeth I’s reign was.
48. How successful was Elizabeth’s reign?
• Elizabeth I had to face many problems
when she became queen. How
successfully did she solve them?
49. A successful monarch will leave their country
several things when they die;
1. An heir to the throne. Preferably male.
2. At peace with itself, so no fighting
amongst different groups of English
people.
3. At peace with other countries, so no
ongoing problems with France, or
Spain.
4. Safe and secure – there should be no
doubt who the rightful heir is.
5. The country should look back fondly on
you as a great and successful monarch!
50. Problem What did Elizabeth do? How successfully
did she solve this
problem 1-10
Being a female
ruler
Marrying and
providing an heir
Having Spain as an
enemy
Mary, Queen of
Scots plotting to
take throne
Religion
51. Conclusion
• In your conclusion, you will use
evidence to say why you gave
Elizabeth that mark out of 50.
• You will explain WHAT Elizabeth did,
and then HOW this made her
successful (or unsuccessful!)
52. My conclusion
• Overall, I gave Elizabeth I x out of 50. I
think she was not/quite/very
successful as a monarch.
• This is because…
53. • This is because now write WHAT
Elizabeth did. This made her
not/quite/very successful because now
explain why you think this.
• She also…
• And furthermore…
54. Why is it, after an
incredibly long and fairly
successful reign, I was
the last Tudor monarch?
Which family would take
over, and what was their
connection with me?
