Teacher's 6 Unit Lesson Plan for Integrating Holocaust History and Literature LRMdeGarcia
This 6 unit lesson plan is meant to be an implementation guide to supplement the use of the Webquest, A Brutal Arithmetic - Studying the Holocaust Using Jane Yolen's book, The Devil's Arithmetic. Both English Language Arts and History Social Science standards (California Department of Education) are imbedded in this presentation and companion Webquest. Both the lesson plans and the Webquest are primarily geared for inclusion in Writers Workshop and Literature Circle activities geared toward Grades 5-8.

Description: In this session participants will learn how to choose the appropriate text to meet the Common Core Standards for text complexity and participants will engage in unpacking certain ELA standards and begin working to forge connections between what students know and what they need to be able to demonstrate per the CCSS. We are tasked with creating meaningful, relevant performance standards to help students of all levels achieve at their peak. Teaching in Chicago Public Schools, we know that the task is often daunting and roadblocks and mandates seem to throw us off track at every turn. Our aim is to devise work for students that respects their cultural background and diverse ability levels while scaling up students' intellectual skills to reflect their true academic competency.

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.

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.
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.
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

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.

1. Where can you help?
Tend to think literary critique – creative a learned skill as well – all of these can provide great
additional texts as well and the more they read the better the comprehension skills as they
have been exposed to a greater depth of material
Markers and teachers appreciate risk taking and the flow/beauty of language ( a simple story
told in scintillating fashion)
Also any ‘critical’ response has in it an aspect of the creative – the thoughts of the individual
This is Stages 1-6 and beyond – we want to capture them as life long learners and readers
PAST this thing we call the HSC
Variety – narrative structure, post modern, various genres (these are critical for
choices in their own creative, eg Fantasy or Romance) – for example, science fiction
and the use of allegory are workable
Culture – other cultures have different artistic ‘norms’ – Japanese crime fiction,
anime, graphic novels
o No Man’s Land*
o Green Dragon
o Osama*
o Tsotsi*
Openings – closings - how does a text capture their and thus the reader’s attention
o Looking for Alaska
Eclectic – if we ask them to write from what they know, they need to see an eclectic
range of text types and styles – reading is paramount
Texts that use flashback, dual narrative structures, blend prose and graphic - all
extend their potential style
o 10 PM Question
o Havoc/Malice
o The Collector
o An Abundance of Katherines
o Counting by 7’s
Settings – narratives with powerful setting/context – this building!
o Tomorrow When the War Began
o Ghost in the Shell
o The Martian Chronicles
o Night train
Characters – who do they/we remember? Why? Look at how we came to ‘enjoy’
them or become engaged by them
o The Hunger Games
o Mister Creature
o The Running Man
o Stargirl
o Percy Jackson
Texts that ‘value’ other points of view – students may not realise the unique nature of
a number of the above, or
o The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night
o I’m Not Scared
o Huck Finn
o D. H. Lawrence
o Tennessee Williams
o Black Chicks Talking
2. o The danger of a single story | Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
Short stories are an entry point for many
o Ray Bradbury – Sound of Thunder
o Tim Winton
o “Fingers” from “The Loaded Dice”
o Death by Scrabble
Scripts
o The Club
o Brothers
o Bloodrock
o Spurboard
o Angles In America
o The Glass Menagerie
ADDED – after the talk I looked through some of my material for students with dyslexia and
