A narrative essay means telling a story. Every time you tell a story to a friend, relative or co-worker, it is a verbal narrative essay of its kind. every essay discloses a certain point of view, your point of view if, of course, that is you who are the narrator.

OLC13 704 From Storytelling to Immersive SimulationDebbie Richards
Storytelling has changed through immersive simulations. Simulations allow the audience to interact with the story instead of just passively taking in the story. They allow the audience to be a part of the story and become the storyteller as well. You’ll discuss the basics of storytelling and how it can be adapted to immersive simulations. You’ll explore storyboard examples, techniques and technology-based tools used to create immersive simulations.
'ABC Learning' Create spelling videos using PowerPointFiona Beal
In this presentation, Mochudu Machaba will show us how learners can create vocabulary content using PowerPoint. She will domonstrate how learners can design PowerPoint videos to revise their language structure and help them improve their vocabulary. Visuals improve their memory to recall what they have learned and also help them understand words better by relating the vocabulary to pictures. In this lesson learners should come up with words and pictures to create their own spelling words. Learners will record themselves saying words and later coming up with sentences. In this way learners’ confidence is enhanced because they will create their own content. They can use either Sepedi or English. They will then rehearse what they have created and do creative writing as well.
How to integrate Augmented Reality successfully in your classroom by Ronelle ...Fiona Beal
This is the presentation that accompanied a webinar by Ronelle Klinck that I hosted. n this webinar, Ronelle demonstrated the steps to integrate Augmented Reality successfully in your classroom. Augmented Reality is a tool teachers can use to bring learning to life and make the learning experience an interactive adventure. Ronelle says, "I use AR to engage my learners, scaffold learning and flip my classroom. In this webinar I’ll share practical examples of how to integrate AR in your classroom."
With the Internet being so HUGE these days educators have to become master curators of content. A Learnist Board is a really useful way to curate and keep a record of the information that you need. I love using Diigo, Pinterest and Scoopit for curation purposes, but Learnist has its own unique properties that sets it apart as a useful way of collecting the sites you want to keep.

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.
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.

7. Examples of what children need when they are
learning to read (from Sheila Drew)
• Enjoyable stories
• Authentic contexts, not contrived by adults
• Rich visual images that make sense and can support the
reading of the text
• Play with words and sounds
• Not necessarily ‘real’, but logically developed – 'nonsense that
makes sense‘
• Text that has visual qualities
• ‘Matching relations’ – rhyme, rhythm, repetition, similar
elements, different elements, setting rules and breaking them
etc.
• Suspense and danger (can be frightened / take risks within
the safety of the story)
• Beginning, middle and end … always?
19. Now it is time to put your thoughts on to the computer.

33. Putting this all together
http://childrenswritersworld.blogspot.com/2012/11/mgya-webinar.html
Start with a big question (what if?) and then think about how you would turn that question into a
story.
The structure of the story might be:
* an inciting incident
* turning points
* around three attempts to resolve a big problem
* a dark moment
* the climax
* the resolution
Things to consider about the characters:
* The main character needs to undergo a change.
* The main character must have a motivation or goal and obstacles that get in the way of the
goal.
* Secondary characters may bring out other traits of the main character.
* Characters should be allowed to make mistakes.
34. Example from Flat Stanley
The structure of the story might be:
* an inciting incident
