The document describes an experiment in teaching essay writing. It aimed to make the process of writing and grading essays more systematic and effective. The instructor broke the first essay assignment into four shorter assignments focusing on evidence, analysis, structure, and thesis statement. This made providing feedback easier and allowed students to build their essay incrementally. It led to less time spent grading, improved student papers, and a more useful rubric for assessment. However, revising the grading rubric and one assignment proved difficult. Overall, the instructor found the new approach led to better student writing and more organized feedback.

Webinar Description
In their quest for accountability in assessment, teachers might forget those to whom we should first be accountable: our students. Providing students with clear, accessible, and understandable assessment materials promotes accountability. Unfortunately, assessment of student writing is one of the tasks teachers worry about and, at times, nearly dread.
During this presentation, participants will learn procedures for developing tools for writing assessment that are transparent and understandable to students and that act as both teaching and assessment tools. We will first consider assignment criteria – what is it that we want our students to do? We will then consider the rubric, a grading instrument, which offers objectivity, consistency, clarity in assessing writing and concentrate on holistic, analytic, and to a lesser degree, primary trait assessment. We will also consider when and for what kinds of writing assignments each of these rubrics are most appropriate. Additionally, we will examine the components of rubrics (the criteria, the weight, the description) and the steps in creating a good rubric and how assignment criteria informs rubric creation.
Designing Writing Assessments and Rubrics will consider the issue of accountability in classroom assessment of writing. The absence of fair and transparent assessment often leads to student confusion, slows progress, assumptions of professorial arbitrariness, and quite possibly lack of trust in teacher-student relationships.

ETUG Spring 2014 - Improving Peer Review of Writing with Calibrated Peer ReviewBCcampus
Are you looking for ways to incorporate writing in a large enrolment course? Would you like to help students think more critically about their own writing? Do you already incorporate writing assignments in your course, but would like to reduce the amount of time you spend reading and assessing student writing? If so, Calibrated Peer Review (CPR) may be the tool for you. In this session, we’ll highlight the functionality of Calibrated Peer Review using SCIE113 as a case study. As a writing intensive course in a discipline not traditionally associated with writing, SCIE113 initially faced challenges with helping students understand the significant of peer review, how to constructively review a peer’s paper and how to think critically about their own work. We’ll discuss the development, evaluation, and evolution of Calibrated Peer Review assignments in SCIE113 and share both faculty and student feedback about the tool. We’ll also share guidelines for implementation and explore how CPR is used in other disciplines and contexts.
During this 4 hour workshop, participants from different backgrounds work together to create the framework of a new course. The format brings together learners, faculty and outside subject matter experts.

Magic in the wizarding world of Harry Potter and technology in our ordinary Muggle world are two sides of the same coin. Both magic and technology enhance our natural powers. Their uses also shape our natural and social worlds. We will examine and seek to understand the socio-political effects of magic in Harry Potter - in particular, the wizarding world's profound and systemic injustices.
An updated version of research first presented at "A Brand of Fictional Magic," University of St Andrews, Scotland, May 2012. Examines the Harry Potter series using Vladimir Propp's theory of folktale functions. Tests the hypothesis that this structure of the saga is sufficient to account for the popularity of the series.
My Harry Potter conference talk (HPEF, 2010). Compares magic in the Harry Potter series to technology in our world, their social effects, and their inherent dangers.
My TED talk from 2012. An application of Jacques Ellul's social theory of technology to the world of The Hunger Games. Ivan Illich's important questions to ask ourselves prior to adopting a technology.
A look at the character of Hermione in the Harry Potter series as a skeptic in the best sense of the word: inquisitive, critical, and eventually self-aware of the limits of doubt, and the importance of an ethics of belief.
The Hunger Games is a dystopian story that melds both Orwell’s and Huxley’s visions of the future.
The Capitol citizens are pacified by their lifestyle, which is supported by the Capitol’s exploitation and oppression of the Districts.
Capitol citizens could become aware of the extent and severity of this injustice and act in ways that defy the Capitol’s system.
The Capitol appropriates the possible signs and symbols of this defiance and reintegrates them as sources of entertainment through its media culture.
The remainder of Capitol citizens who defy the Capitol’s system are then easily isolated, ridiculed, and eliminated if necessary.
Collins story is a satire of contemporary American society: we are the Capitol.
Is she’s right, then how do the controllers and operators of our socio-economic system distract us from meaningful criticism and action against itself?
- By equipping media culture with weapons of mass diversion.
- By appropriating the signs of Capitol decadence and reintegrating them as desirable commodities.
- By appropriating the symbols of Capitol defiance and reintegrating them as emblems of democratic ideals or social consciousness.
Be an observer of or participant in the event, and District life fades into irrelevance.

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.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

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”.

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.

Essay Writing: A Teaching Experiment
2. Why?
• Effort expended on grading 1st
essay not
translating to significant improvement on 2nd
essay
• Many causes…but which can I affect?
• Phronesis: essay writing (in the student mind) is a
universal; they need experience with particulars
to gain practical wisdom
3. What I Did
• Create a (more-or-less) systematic procedure
for constructing an essay
• Divide the first essay into four chewable
tablets:
Evidence
Analysis
Structure
Thesis Statement
4. Desiderata
• Do not increase the number or length of in-class
writing exercises
• Reduce time spent on…
a) futile commentary
b) generic advice during consultations
• Increase overall quality of student papers
5. What Went Well
• Less time spent grading essays, including office
consultations with students
• Students’ perception of their improvement as writers
• Few horrific papers; more ‘A’-worthy papers
• More effective rubric for paper evaluations (but see
next slide…)
6. What Didn’t Go Well
• Assessment and scoring of the short assignments
• Structure Assignment too complex or poorly
conceived
• Unrevised grading rubric—old organization of criteria
did not map well onto new essay writing
methodology
7. Why I Like It
• Grading the first “essay” broken up into bite-size
chunks; commentary more effective and efficient
• Grading the second essay explicitly connects to earlier
performance on the four components—commentary
more organized and focused
• First “essay” has built-in mechanism for continuous
review and revision of previous ideas
