A Letter Soup
By Pedro Pablo Sacristan
Once upon a time there was a very evil and
unpleasant crook who only ever thought about how to get
money. Seeing anyone happy bothered the crook
enormously. What he hated most was when people were
polite and courteous to each other, saying things like
please and thank you, and don't mention it. It annoyed
him even more if they were smiling when they said these
things.
The crook thought all those kinds of words were a
useless waste, and weren't good for anything. So what
he did was spend a lot of time inventing a machine
which could steal words. With this machine, he
planned to steal 'please', 'thank you', 'don't mention
it', and similar words people used to be polite. He
was convinced that no one would notice if those words
were to suddenly disappear. When he had stolen these
words, he intended to take them apart and sell the
letters to book publishers.

The crook was terribly happy with his success, but he didn't count on a couple of very special little girls. Those girls were deaf, and had to communicate using sign language. Now,becausethe machine couldn't steal gestures, these girls continued being kind and polite. Soon they realised what had been happening to everyone else, and they found out about the crook and his wicked plan.

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.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.

1. Iqbal Novel Study Name: Isabel Dominguez 8-73
Quotable Passages Date: January 31, 2012
TOTAL: ________/15 marks
There are many quotable passages from chapter 7 in Iqbal. Below are four
important quotes.
You must respond critically to Passage 1 and Passage 4. Then choose either
Passage 2 OR 3 to reflect on.
In your response, consider commenting on some of the following: special
meaning, connection to a character’s thoughts and feelings, or why this quote
makes you think and want to know more.
You can write your response directly beneath the passage.
* PASSAGE 1
“It means that this kind of life isn’t right. We should return to our families; we
shouldn’t be chained to our looms and forced to work like slaves.” Page 50
RESPONSE: The significance of this quote states about the main theme of the book
which is Child Labour. What Iqbal meant when he said this quote was they are suffering
because of child labour. They should be returned to their families where they can be
guided, loved and cared for, there they can eat enough food. They shouldn’t be in the
carpet factory; they should be playing with their friends like what most of us children
do. They also should be at school learning how to read and write for their future,
especially when they are applying for a job. They shouldn’t be chained to their looms
because they are not animals; but in the carpet factory, Hussain Khan and mistress was
treating them like one. They also shouldn’t be forced to work like slaves because
children are not slaves.They should be enjoying themselves going to school, playing with
their friends and getting enough food. Their lives aren’t right because they were treated
very unfriendly and like an animal.(Every one of us deserves the basic human right.
Other wise the “cycle of poverty” will happen over and over again.)But the saddest thing
was I couldn’t understand why in other countries, children under my age had to suffer
child labour. I couldn’t understand why they have to suffer when the problem or
outcome was not their fault; but I just have to accept because it is the reality.
2. PASSAGE 2
‘There was a precise rule among us: Never talk about the future. Not a single one of us
dared to say, “Next summer,” or “in a year,” or, “when I’m grown up.” Oh yes, we
talked about things we liked to do, and we talked about the day our debt would be
cancelled. We talked that hope into the ground. But nobody really believed it. It was
sort of litany, a way to feel good. Otherwise what was left to us?’ Page 53
PASSAGE 3
“Fatima,” he said in a low voice, “next spring you and I are going to fly a kite.
Remember that, whatever happens.” Page 54
RESPONSE: PASSAGE 2. The significance of this quote states about their future. The
other children in the carpet factory told each one of them to not talk about their future
because it was like a horrible dream. They don’t like talking about the future because
they felt as if nothing will happen; one of the examples was when Fatima said that she
had been in the carpet factory for 3 years and nothing had happened. Every morning
she wakes up and see the slate the same. The lines on the slate are still the same
nothing had had been erased. Their future was a nightmare. No one knows if they will
be in the same situation or if it’ll be worst. They all thought that someday their debt will
be canceled and they would be able to see their parents again. Be with their families
where they are cared for, guided, respected and loved.(The children had lost hope but
Iqbal still tried to give hope for them. They are the one who made the rule that not talk
about the future, Iqbal kept on saying that the future will get better.)
* Chapter 8 - PASSAGE 4
‘Before Iqbal’s arrival I had been resigned to my life. I couldn’t even imagine a
different one. Iqbal had sown the seeds of hope in all of us.’ Page 62
RESPONSE: The significance of this quote states about hope and faith. Iqbal had tried to
help the children to gain more hope and it’s like as Iqbal had told the children to have
courage that someday they would be able to get out of the carpet factory and not be
3. chained into their looms. In my opinion, Iqbal felt that he needed to guide the other
children in the carpet factory to become brave and courageous- to get out of the carpet
factory and be brought back to their families where they are always welcome,
respected, loved, guided and cared for. (It looks like Iqbal is the farmer and the seeds as
the children. He tried to stand up for the other children by planting hope to them.
Although the hopes of the children had faded away, Iqbal still hoped that the situation
will get better.)
