The document provides tips for how to effectively make a short film in 8 steps:
1. Keep the film short, under 10 minutes, to control costs and keep festival selectors interested. Test lengths with audiences.
2. Avoid cliches and stereotypes; tell original, personal stories that resonate with you.
3. Ensure the film has a compelling narrative with a protagonist, goal, and obstacle to engage audiences.
4. Balance visual storytelling and dialogue; use images and lack of dialogue to convey meaning.
5. Focus on a powerful single moment or conflict while avoiding too much action in too short a time.
6. Hook audiences from the start and provide a satisfying ending to keep them

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

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.

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.

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.

1. HOW NOT TO
MAKE A
SHORT FILM
A step by step guide of how to make a short film more
effective
2. The Shorter the Better
A short film can be anything from a number of minutes to forty five
minutes in length. Make your short film script as short as possible
because the shorter the film, the less costly it will be to produce. It
has to be cheap but shouldn’t look cheap. Plus, if you want to get
your short into a festival, then keep it to no more than ten minutes,
which is usually 7-8 pages maximum. Why? Because if your short film
is longer, it will eat up a longer slot and festivals love to play as many
shorts as possible! You can also create real emotion in just a few
minutes. It is also a great idea to question your target audience for
example when we presented a questionnaire to our chosen viewers
we found out the appropriate length that would be suitable and
efficient for both us and our audience being around 5-7 minutes.
1. DON’T
MAKE IT TOO
LONG
3. There are many clichés in short films. Avoid stereotypes unless you have a fresh slant
on them. That’s what The Descendent does. In this short film a couple of bewildered
hit men actually have to kill a seemingly cute little boy and one of them gets cold feet
until he realizes that the child is a supernatural being who terrifies his mother. Write
what you’re familiar with and what resonates with you rather than writing something
you borrowed from other films. Don’t shy away from small stories, short formats are
the perfect vehicle for them and you won’t often get the opportunity to tell small
stories as a professional writer.
It’s good to watch as many short films as possible. There is no replacement for
knowing what is out there, and knowing what you as an audience (as well as a writer)
think and feel about it. When proposing ideas for my own film I often opted to
watching other short films of similar genre so I could follow the key representations
and ideologies without being cliché.
2. DON’T ADD
CLICHÉS
4. Tell a Story
You should always try to tell a compelling story. Beware of ideas that are concept-driven or
just aim at breaking all the rules for the sake of breaking rules. Short films are a great
opportunity to push the boundaries of what cinematic storytelling can do, yet they must still
engage your audience emotionally. As a rule of thumb, unless it is extremely brief a short film
should have a hero with a goal and an obstacle/antagonist in the way. Short films are also a
great away to advertise certain topics for educational value, you can use these topics e.g.
bullying to base the narrative around the subject you want to inform the viewer about.
When producing my own short film I will constantly be using the same aspect as Vladimir
props narrative theory e.g. the villain being our protagonist’s illness
3. PERFECT
THE
NARRATIVE
5. Make It Visual
“Film is a visual medium”. “Show, don’t tell.” Those are the golden
rules of screenwriting the top directors keep telling us. Yet it’s
astonishing to see how talky most scripts are. Film is about telling
stories in pictures, which is the most economical way of telling a story
– and when you make a short film, economy is everything. Create visual
backstories for your characters. Externalize through visual images
their temperament, their profession, their status, etc. Some of the
most effective of short films are the ones with little to no dialog.
It is also very important that you need to beware of the concept that
too much action can take place in not a enough time which ultimately
becomes expensive but also less effective and you loose the audience’s
attention.
4. BALANCE
DIALOG TO
ACTION
6. The best short films are often a single moment that is played
out, but one that has a story at its heart, which is a conflict
that has to be resolved, where there’s a dilemma at stake
and a choice that the protagonist has to make. Strive to add
a deadline, or ticking clock. It is not necessary but it will add
some tension to your short film. For example in my own
short film suspense is created by silence.
5. DON’T RUIN
THE SINGLE
MOMENT
7. Engage
Since you have so little time to make an impression the impact of scene
one is crucial, just as it is crucial to hook the reader in the first couple of
pages in a book. What is the world of the film? Do we root for the main
character? Does the world and story of the film feel authentic? The
ending is also essential as it’s rare to truly feel moved at the end of a
short, so work towards a meaningful, satisfying ending.
For instance although its inevitable that the main character at some
stage is going to pass away we do not sadden this issue at the end of
the film but actually create a satisfying ending by having her fulfill her
only wish.
6. DON’T
LOOSE THE
VIEWERS
8. Lighting
There is nothing worse than when you watch a film and you cant actually see what’s taking
place, this often occurs when a dramatic dark scene isn't properly executed and you cant
actually see what’s going on in scene. To avoid this plan your lighting in correlation to the
setting, mood and the amount of natural lighting that is present either due to the weather
or time of day and most importantly your narrative. Lighting is great in either uplifting
mood in a certain shot but also to emphasise emotion and sadness, try taking test shots
before shooting so you don’t have to retake any shots which is eating valuable filming and
editing time.
7. THE
AUDIENCE
CAN’T SEE
9. Sound
Sound is crucial it explains feelings, thoughts and views
which is why its so important that you get the right balance
between not being too quiet and not too loud. When sound
is too quiet and you up the volume it can automatically
sound crackly and inconsistent. Before shooting have a
sound check to test the volume and accuracy of where it
needs to be placed in order for the dialog to sound clear, it
is very easy to ruin the film by having inconsistent sound.
8. THE
AUDIENCE
CAN’T HEAR
