This document outlines standards and resources for a unit on medieval castles. Students will learn about aerial perspective, simple machines, medieval war machines, and medieval architecture. They will design and build their own castles using recycled materials. As a culminating activity, students will participate in a medieval siege tournament where they use catapults to attack other students' castles. The unit aims to connect science, math, history, and art through hands-on activities like designing castles and operating medieval war machines.
A straightforward way of demonstrating how artists use overlapping via foreground, middle ground, and background to create space and perspective in two-dimensional artworks. Best suited for elementary and middle school students, this presentation utilizes illustrations, photographs, and paintings to identify and define foreground, middle ground, and background.
This is a math and visual-arts integrated project. Using their knowledge of fractions, students create a Mondrian-inspired artwork. Students attach their artwork to a Makey Makey controller, and play a game on Scratch about fractions using their artwork.

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.

Artistic Perception
1.2 Identify and describe proportion as applied to two-dimensional & three-
dimension works of art
1.3 Analyze and describe the ways in which artists convey the illusion of
space (e.g., placement, overlapping, relative size, atmospheric perspective,
and linear perspective).
Creative Expression
2.1 Develop increasing skill in the use of at least three different media
2.2 Use different types of perspective to show the illusion of depth on a two-
dimensional surface
Historical and Cultural Context
3.1 Research and describe how art reflects cultural values in various
traditions throughout the world
Aesthetic Valuing
4.4 Develop and apply specific and appropriate criteria individually or in
groups to assess and critique works of art.
Science Standards (applicable to this unit)
MS-ETSI-1. Define the criteria and constraints of a design problem with
sufficient precision to ensure a successful solution, taking into account
relevant scientific principles and potential impacts on people and the natural
environment that may limit possible solutions.
MS-ETS1-2. Evaluate competing design solutions using a systematic process
to determine how well they meet the criteria and constraints of the problem.
MS-ETS1-4. Develop a model to generate data for iterative testing and
modification of a proposed object, tool, or process such than an optimal
design can be achieved.
Math Standards (applicable to this unit)
Geometry
1. Solve problems involving scale drawings of geometric figures, including
actual lengths and areas from a scale drawing and reproducing a scale
drawing at a different scale
2. Draw geometric shapes with given conditions.
6. Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving area, volume, and
surface area of two and three-dimensional objects composed of triangles,

UNIT LESSONS
This unit is designed to build connections between science, math,
history, and art. Students will learn about aerial perspective, simple
machines, medieval war machines, and medieval architecture. In
groups, students will synthesize what they learn to design, sketch, and
build their own medieval castles using recycled materials. The culmina-
tion of the unit is a medieval siege tournament wherein students use
their “Quick Build” catapults to attack other castles. In order to survive
the siege, students must build a strong castle, and a working medieval
war machine.
Lessons Contained:
1. Quick Build: Catapult
2. Aerial Perspective
3. Medieval Architecture & Castle Design
4. Design Your Own Castle
5. Assemblage Castle Sculpture
