I used this presentation in my 21st Century Literature class. It includes the elements of fiction (Characters, Setting, Conflict, Plot, Point of View, Mood, Tone, Symbolism, Images, Theme).
This is a presentation on making verbs agree with noun subjects. This is a series of lessons intended for for separate discussions (may vary depending on the teacher's strategy). Covered in this lesson are the 12 rules in subject-verb agreement. Short activities are also provided in this lesson.
This presentation is a great help in making the students understand how modals express obligation. Thus, helping them in constructing sentences to express obligation.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
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.

a great price for the water: he asks for one of Odin’s
