Students' Presentations 1
The document discusses linguistic intelligence, which involves sensitivity to language and the ability to learn and use language. People with strong linguistic intelligence learn foreign languages easily and have good verbal memory and understanding of syntax. They often enjoy reading, writing, listening, word games, and storytelling. Careers that suit linguistic intelligence include writers, editors, teachers, journalists, lawyers, and public speakers. The document provides examples of activities to develop linguistic skills and highlights that Pope John Paul II spoke over a dozen languages.
Verbal linguistic intelligence
Verbal/linguistic intelligence is one of Howard Gardner's nine multiple intelligences, defined as the ability to think in words and express thoughts to others. It develops from the left temporal cortex, specifically Broca's area, which controls semantics, phonology, syntax, and praxis. People with strong verbal/linguistic intelligence enjoy activities like writing, storytelling, debating, reading, and word games. Careers that benefit from verbal/linguistic intelligence include journalists, public speakers, comedians, teachers, lawyers, and politicians. Testing for this intelligence can help determine how developed it is in an individual.

wearing a hard hat at all times
Wearing a hard hat at all times on a construction site is one of the most important safety measures and is often mandatory. The head is one of the most vulnerable parts of the body and needs protection from potential dangers like falling tools, materials, and machines. Hard hats are made of tough, impact-absorbing plastic that can flex on impact to protect the head, while also being lightweight. They have molded brims to block sun and debris from the eyes, adding an extra layer of protection. When worn properly, hard hats significantly reduce the risk of head and eye injuries at construction sites.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
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.

Grade 4 Unit 5
- 1. Isaac School District No.5 ELAS Thematic Unit Overview Grade 4 – Unit 5 2012-2013 Unit 5: Stories of the Earth and Sky DURATION: Four Weeks This unit couples Native American stories with informational text about the earth and sky. Students discuss stories that explain nature’s mysteries, and how these stories are often passed down orally from generation to generation. Students are asked to share any personal stories about the earth and sky that they have been told. After a brief introduction to Native Americans’ reverence and respect for the earth and sky, students read Native American stories and compare and contrast them as a genre. Students alternate reading stories, such as The Earth Under Sky Bear’s Feet by Joseph Bruchac, and related informational texts, such as Zoo in the Sky: A Book of Animal Constellations by Jacqueline Mitton. Class discussions focus on how the informational text helps us to appreciate literature and how authors use artistic license to make a good story. Students also conduct and present research on constellations. After discussing Vincent van Gogh’s Starry Night and El Greco’s View of Toledo, students write their own story. This unit ends with a class discussion and informative/explanatory essay in response to the essential question. Essential Questions: Vocabulary: How are the earth and sky portrayed in fiction and artistic license myth nonfiction? details narrative writing facts research How do Native American stories show respect for nature? legend theme lore word choice Essential Learning: Cultures and traditions shape our way of thinking and writing. Often times we create stories to explain things we don’t understand.
