The lesson plan aims to develop students' language skills around making predictions using "will" and discussing being optimistic or pessimistic. It includes 4 main stages: 1) A Kahoot quiz to review "will" for predictions. 2) A YouTube video modeling "will/won't" followed by a Quizizz quiz about optimism. 3) Students choose if they are more optimistic or pessimistic. 4) A video song quiz where students predict what happens next as a fun conclusion. Scaffolding includes explanations, modeling, questions to check comprehension, and encouraging participation from students.
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

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.

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.

Procedures
GREETINGS AND SETTING THE ONLINE CLASSROOM (4 minutes)
- I will first greet my students as they join the Zoom meeting and check everyone can see me
and hear me well.
- In this first lesson, I will devote some minutes to introduce myself to those students assigned
to my practice who I haven’t had the chance to meet them before. I will greet them ‘Hello,
there! It’s nice to have the opportunity to do my practice with you, too. How are you?’. I may
resort to L1 after using L2 since learners don’t understand spoken English (L2-L1-L2).

3. - I will say ‘Ok, I think we should revise a little bit the use of will for predictions. Do you
remember when we use will for predictions? Is it when we are certain that something will or
won’t happen? For example, I will finish secondary school next year or I don’t think Argentina
will win the Qatar World Cup next year.’
- I will ask ‘Have you got predictions about football, concerts, holidays? And try to encourage
to participate ‘C’mon, try one!’
- I will explain that we’re going to play an online quiz to revise ‘Will for predictions’. Listen ‘I
will share screen and you’ll see the quiz and all together will decide the order of the
predictions. Ready?’
- Then, I will share the quiz and read the different parts of the sentence eliciting the order of
statements in the first two of the puzzle quiz in this way ‘First it goes I hope, right? Then, what
follows? Students answer: we – will travel – to other planets. I will praise students once the
quiz is finished and give feedback on those tricky quiz statements.
Transition comment: Ok, now we’re going to discuss about being a positive or negative person.
What about you? Are you a positive person? Or a negative one?
FOCUS ON LANGUAGE: WILL AND WON’T FOR PREDICITONS. Link:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipjh-OBZTqk (3 minutes)
- I will say ‘Well, lets’ revise briefly how we use will/won’t to talk about future predictions.
- I will introduce may/might for predictions to explain grades of certainty. Then, I will add that
for this short lesson we’ll focus on ‘will’ and the following lesson we will be working with the
rest of the scale of probabilities (might/may/could).
- I will play a Youtube video but muted so that I can explain it myself. I will skip some parts
of the video to make it more dynamic (around 1:30 minutes).
- I will pause before key moments to check comprehension and elicit students’ answers.
- The idea of this video is to check my students’ previous knowledge on the topic.

5. - Once I reach SLIDE 10, I will read the instruction and ask students to pick a slice of paper to
choose option A or option B.
- Since this is our first lesson I will read carefully the text asking questions to check
comprehension.
- Once, students finish choosing option. I will play the audio so that they can check if they are
more inclined for optimism or pessimism.
- Then, we’ll discuss our opinions and I will share my own opinion about not being neither
pessimist or optimist.
Transition comment: Ok, I think we’re running out of line. We deserve to finish this lesson with good
music, don’t you think? Do you like Maroon 5? What kind of music do you listen to? I think this song
is really optimistic and cheerful! I hope you like it!

Great start, Pau!
You´ve developed really interesting resources. I recommend that you
encourage students to systematize on their folders every now and then.
I hope both you and learners can use L2 as much as possible.
Best of luck!
