The document provides information about maps and geography. It defines key map terms like scale, cardinal directions, components of a map, and how symbols are used. It distinguishes between different types of maps like physical, thematic, and political maps. Maps are explained to be more useful than globes for studying specific areas due to their level of detail. Thematic maps provide detailed information on topics like forest distribution. A compass is used to find main directions, and a scale is necessary for maps but not sketches or symbols.

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.

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.

2. 1. Answer the following questions briefly.
(a) How does a planet differ from a star?
(b) What is meant by the ‘Solar System’?
(c) Name all the planets according to their distance from the sun.
(d) Why is the Earth called a unique planet?
(e) Why do we see only one side of the moon always?
(f) What is the Universe?
Answer: (a) Differences between a planet and a star:
(b) The term Solar System refers to the “family” of the Sun. The Sun is a star
around which eight planets, among other celestial objects, revolve in orbits.
This whole system of bodies is called the Solar System. The Sun is the “head”
of this system.
3. (c) The list of planets in the order of their distance from the Sun is as
follows:
(i) Mercury (ii) Venus (iii) Earth (iv) Mars (v) Jupiter (vi) Saturn (vii)
Uranus (viii) Neptune
(d) The Earth is regarded as a unique planet because of the following
reasons:
(i) It is the only planet known to support life. It has oxygen and water
present in proportions that allow life to thrive.
(ii) It also has a temperature range that supports life.
(iii) The proportion of water present is about two-thirds of the surface
of earth when compared to land.
(e) One revolution of the moon around the earth takes about 27 days.
Incidentally, the moon’s rotation about its own axis also takes nearly
the same time. One day of the moon is equal to 27 Earth days. So
only one side of the moon can be seen from the earth.
(f) The Universe is the largest unit in which we live. It is a collection of
galaxies. There is only one Universe, and everything that exists,
exists in this Universe itself.
4. 2. Tick the correct answer.

7. 1. Answer the following questions briefly:
(a) What is the true shape of the earth?
(b) What is a globe?
(c) What is the latitudinal value of the Tropic of Cancer?
(d) What are the three heat zones of the Earth?
(e) What are parallels of latitude and meridians of longitude?
(f) Why does the Torrid Zone receive maximum amount of
heat?
(g) Why is it 5.30 p.m in India when it is 12.00 noon in
London?
Answers:
(a) The true shape of the earth is a sphere flattened at the
poles. Such a shape is called a geoid.
(b) A globe is an exact miniature model of the earth. It shows
the earth in its actual shape, with all continents, oceans, etc
marked at their proper places.
8. (c ) The latitudinal value of the Tropic of Cancer is 23 1/2° N.
(d) The heat zones of the Earth are: the Torrid Zone, the Temperate
Zones and the Frigid Zones.
(e) Parallels of latitudes. All of the imaginary circles parallel to the
Equator are called parallels of latitudes. These circles have varying
centres and all these central points lie on the same line: the axis of the
earth. Meridians of longitudes. All of the imaginary circles perpendicular
to the Equator are called meridians of longitudes. These circles have the
same centre, which is also the centre of the earth.
(f) The mid-day sun directly faces the area between the Tropics of
Cancer and Capricorn. So the heat received is maximum at these
latitudes. These latitudes fall under the Torrid Zone.
(g) India and the United Kingdom lie on different longitudes. Each
degree of longitudes corresponds to a difference of four minutes. This is
because the earth rotates 360° in 24 hours, 1° in 4 minutes. The
standard meridian of India is 82° 30′ E, and that of London is 0°. This
means a difference of 4 minutes x 82.5 = 330 minutes = 5.5 hours. So
when it is 12 noon in London, it is 5.30 p.m. in India.
9. 2. Tick the correct answer:
(a)The value of the prime meridian is
(i) 90° (ii) 0° (iii) 60°

Meridian, (d) Prime Meridian, (e) Northern.
12. 1.Answer the following questions briefly.
(a)What is the angle of inclination of the earth’s axis with its orbital
plane?
(b) Define rotation and revolution.
(c) What is a leap year?
(d) Differentiate between the summer solstice and winter solstice.
(e) What is an equinox?
(f) Why does the Southern Hemisphere experience winter and summer
solstice in different times than that of the Northern Hemisphere?
(g) Why do the poles experience about six months day and six months
night?
Answers: (a) The angle of inclination of the earth’s axis with its orbital
plane is 66’/a.
(b) The movement of the earth on its axis is known as rotation.
‘ Revolution. The movement of the earth around the sun in a fixed path
or orbit is known as revolution.
(c) The year in which Februaiy is of 29 days instead of 28 days is called a
leap year. Thus a leap year is of 366 days instead of 365 days.
13. (d) Difference between summer solstice and winter solstice
(e) On 21st March and September 23rd, direct rays of the sun fall on the
equator. At this position, neither of the poles is tilted towards the sun.
Therefore, the entire earth experiences equal days and equal nights. This
phenomenon is called an equinox.
(f) Since it is winter in the Southern Hemisphere when it is summer in
the Northern Hemisphere, therefore the position of the earth ‘which is called
the Winter Solstice in one Hemisphere is the Summer Solstice in the other, and
vice-versa.
(g) The axis of the earth is tilted, due to which the sun continuously either
shines or cannot be seen for a long time here. Although the earth rotates and
day changes into night and night into day at other places, but the poles remain
under the same stage for a much longer time due to the tilt.
14. 2. Tick the correct answer.
(a) The movement of the earth around the sun
is known as
(i) Rotation (ii) Revolution (iii) Inclination.
(b) Direct rays of the sun fall on the equator on
(i) 21 March (ii) 21 June (iii) 22 December.
(c) Christmas is celebrated in summer in
(i) Japan (ii)India (iii)Australia

17. 1. Answer the following questions briefly:
(a) What are the three components of a map?
(b) What are the four cardinal directions?
(c) What do you mean by the term ‘the scale of the map’?
(d) How are maps more helpful than a globe?
(e) Distinguish between a map and a plan.
(f) Which map provides detailed information?
(g) How do symbols help in reading map?
Answers:
(a) The three components of a map are—distance, direction
and symbol.
(b) The four cardinal directions are—North, South, East and
West.
(c) The term ‘the scale of the map’ means the ratio between
the actual distance on the ground and the distance shown on
the map.
18. (d) Maps provide more information than a globe. A globe can be useful when
we want to study the earth as a whole. But when we want to study only a part of
the earth, as about a country or a state, globe is of little help. In such a situation
only maps are useful.
(e) Differences between a map and a plan.
(f) A thematic map provides detailed information.
(g) Symbols are an important part of a map. They give a lot of information in a
limited space. With the use of symbols maps can be drawn easily and are
simple to read. Even if we don’t know the language of an area and therefore
cannot ask someone for directions. We can collect information from maps with
the help of symbols.
