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.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

4. Essential Questions at the top of Bloom’s
Taxonomy
Create - innovate
Evaluate – make a thoughtful choice between
options, with the choice based on a clearly stated
criteria
Synthesize – invent a new or different version
Analyze – develop a thorough and complex
understanding through skillful questioning.
Framing Essential Questions
5. Essential Questions (EQs)
Spark our curiosity and sense of wonder
Desire to understand
Something that matters to us
Answers to EQs can NOT be found
Students must construct own answers
Make their own meaning from information
they have gathered
Create insight
6. Answering such questions may
take a lifetime!
Answers may only be tentative
Information gathering may
take place outside of formal
learning environments
Engage students in real life
applied problem solving
EQs lend themselves to
multidisciplinary
investigations.
Essential Questions(EQs)
7. Framed by students themselves
Best to start with subsidiary
questions that might help
support the main question
Formulate categories of related
questions
“What else do we need to know?
State suppositions
Hypothesizing and Predicting
Thought process helps provide a
basis for construction of meaning.
Ideal Essential Questions
8. What is an Essential Question?
Is open-ended; that is, it typically will not have a single,
final, and correct answer.
Is thought-provoking and intellectually engaging, often
sparking discussion and debate.
Calls for higher-order thinking, such as analysis,
inference, evaluation, prediction. It cannot be effectively
answered by recall alone.
Points toward important, transferable ideas within (and
sometimes across) disciplines.
Raises additional questions and sparks further inquiry.
Requires support and justification, not just an answer.
Recurs over time; that is, the question can and should be
revisited again and again.
9. • Whose "story" is this?
• How can we know what really happened in the past?
• How should governments balance the rights of individuals with the
common good?
• Should _______ (e.g., immigration, media expression) be restricted or
regulated? When? Who decides?
• Why do people move?
• How do maps and globes reflect history, politics, and economics?
• What is worth fighting for?
• Is there ever a "just" war?
• How do citizens (both individually and collectively) influence government
policy?
• How does technological change influence people's lives? … economic
growth? … society?
• What does it mean to be “civilized”? What makes a civilization?

Essential Questions in History
and Social Studies
10. Understanding by Design
ByJayMcTigheandGrantWiggins
UbD framework helps focus curriculum and
teaching on the development and deepening
of student understanding and transfer of
learning (i.e., the ability to effectively use
content knowledge and skill).
Understanding is revealed when students
autonomously make sense of and transfer
their learning through authentic
performance.
Six Facets of Understanding - Indicators
capacity to explain, interpret, apply, shift
perspective, empathize, and self-assess
11. UdB: Backwards Design
Effective curriculum is planned backward from long-term,
desired results through a three-stage design process
Desired Results
Evidence
Learning Plan
Avoid common problems:
Treating the textbook as the curriculum rather than a resource, and
Activity-oriented teaching in which no clear priorities and purposes are
apparent.
Teachers are coaches of understanding, not mere purveyors of
content knowledge, skill, or activity.
Focus on ensuring that learning happens, not just teaching (and
assuming that what was taught was learned)
Aim and check for successful meaning making and transfer by the learner.

12. Understanding by Design
Desired Results: What will
the student learn?
Acceptable Evidence: How
will you design an
assessment that accurately
determines if the student
learned what he/she was
supposed to learn?
Lesson Planning: How do
you design a lesson that
results in student learning?
Determine
acceptable
evidence
Plan learning
experiences
and
instruction
Identify
desired
results
13. Understanding by Design and
“Big Ideas”
What are the big ideas?
Core concepts
Focusing themes
On-going debates/issues
Insightful perspectives
Illuminating
paradox/problem
Organizing theory
Overarching principle
Underlying assumption
What’s the evidence?
How do we get there?
Represent a big idea having
enduring value beyond the
classroom
Reside at the heart of
the discipline (involve
“doing” the subject)
Require
uncoverage (of
abstract or often
misunderstood
ideas)
Offer
potential for
engaging
students
Enduring

18. Assessments:
Entry Level, Progress Monitoring, and
Summative
How will you know that students learned what
you expected them to learn?
What types of assessment might be most
reliable in determining student
understanding or level of proficiency?
What skills do your students need to develop in
order to build knowledge of the content?
What kinds of activities will result in
students being able to develop those skills and
express their knowledge and understanding?
19. Curriculum Planning
for Enduring Understanding
How will you engage your students in this topic?
How do you hook them in with your “anticipatory
set”?
How will you motivate students to think critically and
explore essential questions?
How will you move beyond “recall” to problem
solving?
How will your lessons result in “enduring
understanding” of key issues in society?
What will students do, create, or present to express
their knowledge and understanding?
20. Common Core State Standards
English Language Arts and
History and Social Studies
Students need to be ready for college, workforce, and
life in a technological society. They need the ability to:
Gather, comprehend, evaluate, synthesize, and
report on information and ideas.
Conduct original research in order to answer
questions or solve problems.
Analyze and create a high volume and extensive
range of print and nonprint texts in media forms
old and new.
21. Research to Build and
Express Knowledge
Gather relevant information from multiple
authoritative print and digital sources, using
advanced searches effectively.
Assess the strengths and limitations of each
source in terms of the task, purpose, and
audience.
Integrate and evaluate content presented in
diverse formats and media, including visually
and quantitatively, as well as in words.
22. Visuals and Technology
Interpret information presented visually, orally, or
quantitatively (e.g., in charts, graphs, diagrams, time
lines, animations, or interactive elements on Web
pages)
Translate quantitative or technical information
expressed in words in a text into visual form (e.g., a
table or chart) and translate information expressed
visually or mathematically (e.g., in an equation) into
words.
Take advantage of technology’s capacity to link to
other information and to display information
flexibly and dynamically.
23. Digital Media Production
Make strategic use of digital media (e.g.,
textual, graphical, audio, visual, and interactive
elements) in presentations to enhance
understanding of findings, reasoning, and
evidence and to add interest.
Use technology, including the Internet, to
produce, publish, and update individual or
shared writing products
