Kushal and Shyam see trees being cut down to make way for a shopping center. They decide to write an essay to raise awareness about the importance of trees and protest the cutting down of trees. The module teaches the basics of essay writing, including defining an essay, the essential components like unity, order and conciseness, different types of essays, and making an outline to organize thoughts before writing. Kushal and Shyam discuss making an outline for their essay on saving trees to educate the local community.

What does the future look like? Is it a dark space where we’re suffering from varying degrees of techamphetamine or are we heading towards a Utopian fantasy of abundance and harmony?
Understanding that our basic human needs and wants barely change, we explore the future state of a range of topics; from our need for physical sustenance through to our age-long fascination of transcending the limitations of our biology.
Looking at the future from a human perspective, our potential for greatness is teetering on a fine line between darkness and hope. We’re banking on the latter.
Study: The Future of VR, AR and Self-Driving CarsLinkedIn
We asked LinkedIn members worldwide about their levels of interest in the latest wave of technology: whether they’re using wearables, and whether they intend to buy self-driving cars and VR headsets as they become available. We asked them too about their attitudes to technology and to the growing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the devices that they use. The answers were fascinating – and in many cases, surprising.
This SlideShare explores the full results of this study, including detailed market-by-market breakdowns of intention levels for each technology – and how attitudes change with age, location and seniority level. If you’re marketing a tech brand – or planning to use VR and wearables to reach a professional audience – then these are insights you won’t want to miss.

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.

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.

Kushal; It’s so sad that many people do not understand the value of trees
and they are being cut down so mercilessly.
Shyam: Let’s organize a written campaign to protest against the cutting of
trees. In this way may be others join us too.

VO: Unity of thoughts is very important while
planning to write an ‘Essay.’ Few children think loudly over a given topic. Points are
noted down. Then the essay is written ,with the convergence of the common points,
each one writing the points in his/her own way. Each point is linked to one given
topic ,maintaining the unity of the written content.

Mrs. Sethi: Geeta, Why were you absent, yesterday?
Geeta:: Ma’am, I had to go for my cousin’s wedding. The wedding was in Mumbai.
Do you know it takes two days by train to reach there? Mumbai is very crowded.
Everybody is so busy there. Didi’s lehenga was so beautiful…
Show another 8 year old girl wearing salwar , kameez and chunni, talking. Her
dress should have the name Payal written on it. Voice over is as follows-

The essay should be in a style in which you want to pass the message to the
reader. You can be humorous or very serious; you can be casual or formal. The
essay should have your individuality. Look at the following sentences.
Text with voice over
Let’s save trees.
We can save trees if we want to.
We must raise our voice and save our trees.
Anchor4 continues:
Can you see the different moods of the three sentences? The first one is casual. The
second one is serious but is not motivating. The third sentence is both – serious and
motivating. Which style do you think Kushal should choose? Now that depends upon
you!

6. PES/ENG/IX/006
Why do we write essays? We have seen why Kushal and Shyam want to write an
essay. They want to educate people on saving trees. But that is not the only reason
to write essays.
An essay can be written on any topic. Based on the topics, we can classify essays
into the following types.
VO with Text on Screen (The words in dark letters should blink.)
A Reflective essay contains our thoughts, belief and opinion on a topic. Example:
‘Speaking the truth’
In a Reflective essay, we present our opinions, our ideas on a topic. Examples of
such topics are: ‘Speaking the truth’, ‘Are joint families better?’ , ‘Importance of
being educated’, ‘Patriotism’ etc.
A Narrative essay narrates an event or events in somebody’s life. Example: ‘Life of
Guru Gobind Singhji’
In a Narrative essay, we narrate an event – when it took place, what happened,
what caused it, what happened after the event etc. We sometimes talk about
different events which took place in a person’s life. Examples of such topics are:
‘20-20 World Cup final’, ‘Life of Mahatma Gandhi’, ‘My first visit to a museum’ etc.
A Descriptive essay describes a place/ thing/ phenomena. Example: ‘Earthquakes’
In a Descriptive essay, we describe the topic. We assume the reader knows
nothing about it. We describe the topic, its causes, effects, relevance; give
examples and facts required by the topic. Examples of such topics are: ‘Volcanoes’,
‘Oil Companies of India’, ‘Right nutrition for children’ etc.
An Imaginative essay contains the imagination of the writer. Example: ‘My space
journey’
In an Imaginative essay, we imagine an artificial situation and write down our
thoughts. We put ourselves in situations we have never been in and imagine how
it must be. The things written in these essays may or may not come true. Examples
of such topics are: ‘If I were the President’, ‘If we lived on moon’, ‘A day without
electricity’.
Often essays are not of one particular type, but a combination of these types. One
need not remember the types, but it is important to be aware of them.

Kushal: OK, Let’s start writing the essay. First write down that we should protest
against the cutting of trees.
Shyam: Hey, wait. Don’t start writing immediately. Let’s first arrange our thoughts.
Kushal: How should we go about writing the essay then?
VO with Text on screen:
Before you begin writing an essay, ask yourself the following questions.
• What is the topic of the essay?
• Whom are you writing the essay for?
• What is its purpose?
After you are clear about the aim of your essay, go on to decide what you are going
to write.
• First make a rough outline of the major aspects that you are going to
write about.
.
• Then arrange them in a proper order.
• Now under each major aspect that you wrote, think of the smaller
points you want to include.
• While thinking of smaller details, also think of examples, facts and
proverbs that you wish to include in your essay.
Shyam: So, Kushal. Let’s follow the procedure. We have decided on the topic, it is
‘Save our trees’. Now whom are you writing the essay for?
Kushal: For the public, the residents of this colony. They should know about this.
Shyam: What is the purpose of this essay?
Kushal: Through this essay, I want to educate the residents about the importance
of trees and want to motivate them to join me and protest against this
cruelty.
Shyam: Good. Now that our motive stands clear, let’s make the outline.
Kushal: I will do that.
Cut to Anchor- 5
While Kushal makes the outline for his essay, let’s see how one makes an outline.
Let’s take a topic, say, ‘Education’. We want to write the essay for the people of

India, children and elderly, and convince them about the necessity of education.
What all should we write in it?
VO with Text on screen:
• EDUCATION-Meaning of the word,or definition of ‘Education’.
• Need for education.
• Present status of education in India.
• Causes for not sending children to school.
• What we can do about it.
• Effect on the child’s life.

Next should be the Needs, causes, then effects, then present status and finally
the steps we can take towards the cause.
Why this order? Well, imagine you are to explain why you are going with your
friends for a picnic. What will you do? First you will explain why picnic is important
and you want to go. Then you will ask for reasons why your parents don’t want you
to go. Then you will tell them, what will happen if you don’t go. Then the present
status, that is, how many of your friends are going etc. And finally you will try to
suggest some steps by which both issues are resolved, like suggesting to go but
come back early. Isn’t it? It’s exactly like that. Develop the topic as if it is a
conversation. Only then will the readers enjoy and understand your essay.
