An essay is composed of multiple paragraphs, each discussing a sub-topic related to the overall topic. The writer first identifies possible sub-topics and orders them logically. Each paragraph then develops one sub-topic with examples, details, and discourse markers to connect ideas. Finally, the paragraphs are combined in the planned order to form a cohesive essay that addresses the main topic through its sub-topics.

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.

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.

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.

2. Definition
• An essay is a collection of paragraphs
• The topic of an essay is an umbrella-concepts, which contains
multiple sub-topics.
• Each paragraph picks up one sub-topic and develops it.
• The paragraphs are then combined in a logical order, to form the
essay.
3. What to do in the beginning
• Look at the topic of the essay. Think of the possible subtopics.
• Use a rough sheet to draw the thought bubbles. Eg.:
• Also, you have to plan an order for arranging those paragraphs.
4. Definition of competition
Competition in nature and animals
Competition among humans
Competition faced by you
Positive Effects of competition
Negative Effects
Conclusion: summary-point of nature, humans, you in competition; most important positive effect and
negative effect. Last line: Balance off, by saying competition is good but, but with certain checks.
Note:
We move
From big concepts to small
Nature
Humans
I myself
5. Detailing the sub-topics
• Each sub-topic can then become a topic sentence.
• Supporting sentences are added to that specific topic sentence.
• Supporting sentences can include examples, further information
about the topic sentence, categories / lists, compare-contrast, cause-
effect, problem-solution, etc. to develop the idea of the topic
sentence.
• One paragraph should develop only one idea. That keeps the
paragraph simple, straight-forward, and excludes irrelevant points.
• This is called “UNITY of ideas in a paragraph”
6. Logical ordering, or coherence
• Discourse-markers are used to indicate the logical order of the sentences
within a paragraph.
Eg.: Words like “so”, “That’s why” are used to indicate “Effects”
Words like “Clearly” are used while proving a point.
• Discourse markers make a paragraph easily understandable to a reader.
7. Once the paragraphs are completed
• Read all the paragraphs thoroughly for errors in grammar or
punctuation.
• Check for logical fuzziness across the paragraphs. If any, we use
discourse markers like ‘However’, ‘clearly’, for example, etc. to clarify
our message more.
8. Last thing to do
Only when errors are corrected,
one can turn to thinking of quotations.
A good essay needs a strong beginning line.
One can either make it up, or, use a quote/proverb for the purpose.
9. Common errors in essay writing
• Missing out discourse markers. That hampers logical clarity of ideas
• Errors in tense, modifiers, and agreement in noun-pronoun an
subject-verb.
• Punctuation—people do not use comma and semi-colons properly.
They end up writing long sentences, which could easily have been
shorter sentences, is semi-colons and commas were used properly.
10. Why essay writing is a skill
• It tests your planning of ideas, i.e. topic >subtopic >detailing of
subtopic.
• It tests your elaboration of ideas with background knowledge of a
topic.
• It tests your logical sequencing of ideas, while writing.
• It tests your language skills, like grammar, vocabulary, etc.
11. Essay on a legal topic
Every legal topic has the following:
• General definition
• Constitutional definition; objectives of that act or idea
• History / background events relevant to its creation
• Application in current life
• Challenges / Negative aspects / Disputes to that idea or act
• Conclusion: a balancing opinion
