This character is usually
the sidekick to the protagonist and
is commonly the first to die. An
example of this would be „Laurie‟
from „Halloween‟.
The Comic Relief: This character
provides light relief throughout the
film through their humour. An
example of this would be „Shorty‟
from „Texas Chainsaw Massacre‟.
The poster promotes an upcoming film starring Leonardo DiCaprio about a surreal dream-like world involving crime and action. DiCaprio's name is prominently displayed at the top to emphasize his leading role. The background images of tilted modern buildings and the characters holding guns at angles are intended to depict the film's themes of disorientation and different dimensions within dreams.
The document outlines the structure and process of a model debate. It describes the order of events, including affirmative and negative speeches, cross examinations, rebuttals, and summaries from both sides. The debate follows a standard format where each team presents arguments for their side, asks questions of the opposing team, and rebuts the other side's arguments, culminating in summaries from each perspective.
The document provides tips for starting a presentation strongly by using techniques like beginning with a personal anecdote, asking a rhetorical question, or surprising the audience with something unexpected or novel to capitalize on the primacy effect. It emphasizes starting with a "punch" to engage the audience through humor, challenge, or personal stories and leaving them with a memorable message or call to action.
Grit is passion and perseverance for long-term goals, where a gritty person commits to working daily towards their deepest values and improving themselves, and does not let setbacks deter them from their goal. The growth mindset is a belief that abilities can be developed and improved, and those with a growth mindset seek challenges to learn from mistakes, believe they can change for the better, and think intelligence and skills can grow.
The document discusses how learning occurs through a process of encoding information, consolidating memory traces, and retrieving information through testing and reconsolidation. It emphasizes that learning is enhanced when it incorporates desirable difficulties, such as repeated effortful recall, practice integrating ideas into mental models, and receiving feedback on performance while stepping outside of one's comfort zone. The concepts of deliberate practice, growth mindset, and grit are also highlighted as important for achieving expertise over long periods of training and practice.
Debate Argument Construction Review – GTBDaniel Beck
1. The document discusses constructing strong arguments for debates. It explains that arguments should have a clear position statement, reasons to support the position, evidence to back up the reasons, and a concluding statement.
2. It provides examples of each component of an argument, including a position statement supporting chocolate's health benefits, a reason that it decreases heart disease risk, a study showing this evidence, and a concluding statement restating the position.
3. There are three types of evidence: common knowledge, personal experience, and sourced information from research. Strong arguments logically support a team's opinion using clear, detailed, and persuasive evidence.
Five Guidelines for Better Data Visualizations (Schwabish)Daniel Beck
The document summarizes Jonathan Schwabish's five guidelines for better data visualizations:
1. Show the data - highlight important data and don't show all data at once.
2. Reduce clutter - simplify charts by reducing intervals, turning off gridlines, etc.
3. Integrate graphics and text for clarity.
4. Avoid "spaghetti charts" with many lines.
5. Start visualizations in grayscales before adding color.

The document outlines a four-step process for rebuttal: 1) restate the other team's claim to clarify what is being rebutted, 2) make a counterclaim disputing the other team's argument, 3) support the counterclaim with reasons and evidence, and 4) summarize the counterclaim to conclude the rebuttal and establish a strong argument. Useful expressions are provided for each step, including ways to restate, rebut, support with examples or sources, and conclude a rebuttal.
This document provides guidance on structuring debates and summarizing arguments. It outlines the typical order and timing of speeches and cross-examinations in a debate. It then gives tips for writing summaries, including restating the key evidence and points from each side, connecting the summary back to the central proposition, and restating one's own position in conclusion. Useful expressions are provided for different types of summaries, such as overall summaries that cover both sides and focused summaries that highlight key points.
The document provides guidance on cross examination in debates. It defines cross examination as the phase where the affirmative and negative teams ask each other questions to better understand opposing arguments. The purpose of cross examination is to find weaknesses in the other team's arguments. It provides tips on questioning and responding, including asking clarifying questions and evaluating evidence. Sample questioning and response phrases are also given. The workflow of cross examination is outlined as presenting a speech, preparing questions, asking and answering questions.

Up for Debate Unit 1 Model Debate ReviewDaniel Beck
The document summarizes the structure and flow of a model debate between Team A and Team B on the proposition of whether living in the city is better than living in the countryside. The debate follows a standard format: each side gives an opening speech to state their position and arguments, they participate in a question and answer cross-examination period, each side then presents a rebuttal of the other's arguments, and finally each closes with a summary from their perspective. The topics debated include job opportunities, cost of living, wages, and remote work possibilities.
Debate Definition Slides (Up for Debate)Daniel Beck
A debate is a timed academic activity where two opposing teams make arguments for or against a controversial topic through structured speeches. Each team aims to convince judges of their position through a series of short speeches and rebuttals within a set time limit. Topics are meant to be controversial issues about which reasonable people can disagree to encourage critical thinking and persuasive argument.
The document provides tips for designing effective presentation slides using the CRAP principles of contrast, repetition, alignment, and proximity. It discusses how to apply each principle, such as using high contrast between text and background for readability, repeating visual elements like fonts or layouts to unify the design, deliberately aligning items on each slide, and grouping related items close together through proximity. The overall message is that applying these design principles can improve slide presentations compared to typical designs full of long blocks of text or bullet points.
The document discusses the principles of design known as C.R.A.P. - Contrast, Repetition, Alignment, and Proximity. It provides examples and brief explanations of each principle. Contrast refers to differentiating aspects of a design. Repetition involves repeating elements throughout a piece. Alignment is giving elements a visual connection. Proximity is grouping related items together.
The document provides tips for designing effective presentation slides using the mnemonic CRAP (Contrast, Repetition, Alignment, Proximity). It recommends using contrast to emphasize important points, repetition to unify design elements, alignment to organize content visually, and proximity to group related items. Examples are given for each principle and their purpose is explained.
This presentation slide design document recommends using the C.R.A.P. principles of CONTRAST, REPETITION, ALIGNMENT, and PROXIMITY when designing slides. It suggests having a clear theme, using fonts consistently, lining up items, grouping related items together, following the rule of thirds for images, leaving negative space, and beginning slides with a punch like a personal, unexpected, novel, challenging, or humorous statement. It also provides tips for question and answer sessions like being engaging, brief, silent, gracious, assertive, repeating questions, and knowing when to stop.
The document provides tips for creating effective graphs and visuals for presentation slides. It discusses best practices for creating bar graphs, pie charts, and line graphs. Some key tips include using bar graphs to compare values, ordering bars from largest to smallest, making bars thick, and labeling values inside bars. For pie charts, it recommends placing the largest wedges at 12 o'clock and labeling values inside wedges. And for line graphs, it suggests making lines thick and writing series labels near the lines.
Retrieval practice is an effective learning technique where recalling or practicing retrieving information leads to stronger long-term memory formation. It works best when retrieval is effortful, repeated over time in spaced sessions rather than crammed, and can involve reflecting on past learning and applying it to new experiences. When used effectively, retrieval practice results in durable, long-term learning.

Methods for Teaching EFL Lesson 10 Lecture 2 MIS Embrace DifficultiesDaniel Beck
This document discusses how learning occurs through encoding, consolidating, and retrieving information. Encoding involves converting sensory perceptions into meaningful representations in the brain, called memory traces. Consolidation helps organize and solidify learning by forming connections to prior knowledge. Retrieval after time also strengthens memories and enables them to connect to new learning through a process called reconsolidation. Desirable difficulties that make initial learning challenging can result in stronger memory through increased effort.
The document discusses principles for designing effective presentation slides using the acronym C.R.A.P. (Contrast, Repetition, Alignment, Proximity). Typical slides overuse bullet points and small fonts, while C.R.A.P. slides emphasize contrasting colors and fonts, repetition of themes and templates, aligned elements, and grouping related items together. The document provides examples of ineffective versus effective slide design for each letter of C.R.A.P.
This document discusses balancing four strands of language learning: meaning-focused input, meaning-focused output, language-focused learning, and fluency practice. It emphasizes receiving large amounts of meaning-focused input, some meaning-focused output, language rules and practice, and repetitive fluency practice to improve a language.
The document discusses the benefits of mixing up practice routines rather than focusing on one skill at a time. It provides two examples: children who practiced throwing beanbags into buckets of varying distances performed better than those who only practiced one distance, and college students who mixed up practice problems on geometric shapes performed better on a final test than those who clustered problems by type. The document advocates for interleaving and varying practice routines to develop stronger discrimination skills compared to typical massed practice of skills sequentially.
