Human Intelligence and education Practice.pptx
Intelligence can be measured through various tests and approaches. Traditional intelligence tests measure abilities through standardized IQ tests but have limitations as they do not capture all aspects of intelligence. Alternative approaches include dynamic assessment, portfolio assessment, and performance-based assessment. These allow for a more holistic and contextual evaluation of intelligence but can be time-consuming and subjective. Theories of intelligence have evolved over time from focusing on general intelligence to recognizing multiple types of intelligence.

WWI.pptx
The document discusses the causes and key events of World War 1. It explains that nationalism, imperialism, militarism, and the complex alliance system contributed to rising tensions between European powers. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand provided the spark that ignited World War 1. The war grew as countries were pulled in by their alliance obligations. The war ended with an armistice in 1918 due to war weariness, economic and human costs, and the entry of the US into the war on the Allied side. This led to peace negotiations and treaties formalizing the end of the war.

The "Cult of Domesticity" defined women's sphere as the home and her role as civilizing her family. Some women argued this made women slaves. The women's rights movement emerged in the mid-19th century advocating for women's suffrage. The 19th amendment granted women the right to vote in 1920.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

- 1. Reading Comprehension Strategies: How to Activate Background Knowledge
- 2. How to activate background knowledge? • Background knowledge is influenced by reader world knowledge and literary knowledge. Football • World knowledge includes “World Cup”, “Sport Industry”, “Ball”, “Scored”, “Cristiano Ronaldo or Messi”, and “Fanatic Supporter”. • Literary knowledge includes knowing the rule of football (2 x 45 minutes, 11 players) and recognize some technical term of football (free kick, penalty, handball, goal, and offside).
- 3. Reading Activities • To activate background knowledge while reading, readers can create K-W-L chart. Through these activities, readers thinks about the topic before they begin reading, use vocabulary related to the topic, call up relevant information, and get interested in reading text. • The example of KWL chart: Name: …………………………………….. Date:……………………………………… Topic: ………………………………………………………………….…………………. What I Know What I Wonder What I Learned K W L
- 4. 1. Create a K-W-L chart. Readers create a large chart which consists of three columns on carton or whiteboard and label every column with K for “What I Know”, W for “What I Wonder”, and L for “What I learned”. 2. Complete the K column. At the first time, readers can stimulate their prior knowledge by writing some information relate to the topic before reading. Readers can write everything they know about the topic. 3. Complete the W column. In the middle column, readers can write some questions that they wonder to find out from the text. By asking some questions before they read a text also support their comprehension. 4. Complete the L column. At the end, readers reflects on what they have learned, and record all information In the L column. Furthermore, to obtain deeper comprehension, a reader can share and discuss his/her chart with another readers.
- 5. Example of K-W-L Topic: OWL What I Know What I Wonder What I Learned Nocturnal Big eyes Fly, have wings Eat mice or snake Symbol of education Trendy in girl’s fashion (i.e. bag jewelry, ring and necklets) Where do owl live? Do owls have families? Can owl really carry the mails? Do owl eat mice or snake? How do they see in the dark? Owl live everywhere except Antarctica and Greenland. A group of owl is known as “Parliament”. Eat their prey whole, and the poo out what they can’t digest (i.e. bones & fur) as pellets. They use echo to communicate and eat mammals but some also eat insects or fish. K W L
