The document summarizes key events leading up to the American Revolution:
1) Religious leaders like Jonathan Edwards and George Whitefield sparked the Great Awakening, helping to religiously unify the colonies in the mid-1700s.
2) Britain passed navigation acts in the 1600s requiring colonies to trade only with Britain, upsetting colonists by the 1750s with strict enforcement.
3) The French and Indian War resulted in British control over North America but left Britain in debt, leading them to impose taxes on the colonies without representation.
4) Growing tensions erupted with the Boston Tea Party, prompting Britain to punish Boston with the Intolerable Acts, uniting the colonies against Britain
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.

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.

Events Leading To The American Revolution Gallery Crawl Information
1. Triangular Trade
The Triangle Trade was a system of shipping goods
and slaves between Africa, England, and the 13
colonies.
2. The Great Awakening
Religion was a major part of
people’s lives in the early
American Colonies. In the
mid-1700s a religious movement
known as the Great Awakening
swept over the 13 colonies.
Religious leaders, such as
Jonathan Edwards and George
Whitefield, traveled, preaching to
thousands of followers that
Americans needed a spiritual and
moral rebirth. The Great
Awakening helped to religiously
unify the 13 colonies.
4. Navigation Acts
In the 1600s, the British government
passed as series of Navigation Acts.
These acts stated that the13
colonies (belonged to England) could
trade only with the mother country
(England). Around the 1750s,
England began to strictly enforce the
Navigation Acts which upset many
colonists, particularly the colonies
whose economy depended on trade
and shipping.

6. French and Indian War
Between 1754 and 1763, Britain and France
fought the French and Indian War.
The French and the English were competing for
land and trading rights in a territory called thee
Ohio Valley, just west of Pennsylvania. Each
nation saw this territory as vital in its effort to
increase its own power and wealth while also
limiting the strength of its rival.
The English victory in the war decided the
colonial fate of North America. The war left
England broke. To gain more money the British
government started taxing the colonists.
In addition, to keep colonists from starting a war
with the Native Americans in the Ohio Valley
the English created the Proclamation of 1763.
8. Proclamation of 1763
The Proclamation of 1763 prohibited
colonists from settling west of the
Appalachian Mountains, particularly in
the new Ohio Valley. This
proclamation was in response to
conflict between Native Americans
and colonists.
England created the Proclamation
Line to stop movement of colonists.
This measure was intended to halt
wars but by instead greatly angered
the colonists.
9.
10. Stamp Act
The stamp act was a special tax put on all
paper goods in 1765. The taxed items
carried the stamp, which gave it the name
stamp act.
After the French and Indian War, England’s
government needed a way to raise money
to pay for the expensive war. England felt
that since the war benefited the colonies,
that the colonists should pay for it.
Since the colonies already had a long
history to self-government, they were not
about to pay a tax to the English
government that they had no say in. In
response, colonists refused to pay it,
boycotted the goods with the tax and even
tarred & feathered tax collectors. England
eventually repealed (took away) the Stamp
Act.
12. Tea Act
In 1773, after several attempts to get
money out of the colonies through taxes,
England passed the Tea Act.
England’s East India Company was in
financial trouble. In order to help the
company out, England passed the Tea
Act which said the 13 colonies could buy
tea only from the East India Company.
Even though the Tea Act made tea
cheaper for the 13 colonies, the colonists
were furious that they could only buy tea
from one company. Many colonists
boycotted (refused to buy) the tea.
13.
14. The Boston Tea Party
The famous protest called the Boston Tea
Party occurred in 1773.
The Tea Act elicited many responses from
the colonists from boycotts to refusing to
allow the tea off the ships.
Members of the Sons of Liberty in Boston, a
colonial protest group led by Samuel
Adams, boarded British Tea ships disguised
as American Indians and dumped the tea
into the harbor.
Thousands of dollars in tea were destroyed.
King George and the Parliament of England
were so upset with the colonists’ actions
that they made a series of laws called the
Coercive Acts to punish the 13 colonies.
15.
16. The Intolerable Acts
(a.k.a. Coercive Acts)
In 1773, the Parliament of England passed the
Coercive Acts, but the colonists referred to
them as the Intolerable Acts.
After the Boston Tea party, King George and
Parliament wanted to punish the colonies by
closing Boston Harbor, the cities life line for
food and trading. The acts also temporarily
ended Town Meetings in New England.
The Coercive Acts were so hurtful to the
colonies, especially New England, that colonists
considered them intolerable.
Eventually fighting broke between colonial
militias and the British soldiers at the battles of
Lexington and Concord. Also, because of their
anger, the colonies joined together to help
Boston and formed the 1st Continental Congress
and later the 2nd Continental Congress.
17. The 1st Continental Congress
First Political Cartoon of the Colonies
It urged the colonies to join together to fight
Second Continental Congress
18. In the early summer of 1776,
representatives (from the 13 colonies) met
in Philadelphia to discuss the upcoming war
with England.
The Continental Congress was called
together to unify the colonies against the
oppressive Parliament and the King of
England. The individual colonies realized
that unless they joined together, they would
not be able to win a war against England.
While at the 2nd Continental Congress, many
members wanted to create a statement to
the King informing him of their reasons for
breaking away from England. This
statement was written by Thomas Jefferson
and called the Declaration of Independence.
19. The writing of the Declaration of Independence
General George Washington
20. The Declaration of
Independence
In 1776, at the 2nd Continental Congress,
the colonies decided to create a statement
to the King of England.
Most members of the Continental Congress
felt a Declaration of Independence was
important to justify the fighting that had
already begun between the colonies and
England. Thomas Jefferson, the main writer
of the Declaration of Independence, used
the writings of John Locke to justify the
reasons for declaring independence.
Once the Declaration was signed and
approved, the colonies officially had decided
to break away from England and form their
own country. Today it serves as one of the
most important foundational documents for
the United States of America.
