Teach students how to identify an author's purpose with this interactive presentation. Designed specifically for intermediate and middle school students.
Using Roald Dahl's 'Lamb to the Slaughter' as stimulus, students create their own piece of Imaginative, Narrative and/or Descriptive Writing for Assignment 2.
Dystopian literature is a form of speculative fiction that began as a response to utopian literature. A dystopia is an imagined community or society that is dehumanizing and frightening. A dystopia is an antonym of a utopia, which is a perfect society.Dystopian novels that have a didactic message often explore themes like anarchism, oppression, and mass poverty. Margaret Atwood, one of literature’s most celebrated authors of dystopian fiction, thinks about it like this. If you’re interested in writing speculative fiction, one way to generate a plot is to take an idea from current society and move it a little further down the road. Even if humans are short-term thinkers, fiction can anticipate and extrapolate into multiple versions of the future.

It was great to meet and talk with TN librarians! Thanks for this invitation and opportunity to share CCSS tactics for reading, research and making connections for Millennial learners. Remember it's all about the kids...the Millennial, self-centered, want-to-own their own learning, kids.
Direct contact via Facebook has changed the face of 21st century adoption. Motivated by curiosity birth families and adopted teenagers are reconnecting online, with no safeguards which is retraumatising many adopted children. Some walk away from their adoptive parents, some are derailed by the unwelcome intrusion in their lives, others fail exams or live in fear.
In this presentation Helen Oakwater, author of Bubble Wrapped Children, explores the hows, whys, whats and what ifs of unsupervised online contact and explains how future proofing by sharing 100% evidenced historical truth is the protective mechanism needed.
The courts, social services and health professionals must share data with adoptive families so they can understand the possible sensory triggers for a child and then be able to parent them therapeutiucally.

On a Caribbean island, the morning after a full moon, Makak tears through the market in a drunken rage. Taken away to sober up in jail, all that night he is gripped by hallucinations: the impoverished hermit believes he has become a healer, walking from village to village, tending to the sick, waiting for a sign from God. In this dream, his one companion, Moustique, wants to exploit his power. Moustique decides to impersonate a prophet himself, ignoring a coffin-maker who warns him he will die and enraging the people of the island. Makak, half-awake in his desolate jail cell, terrorized by the specter of his friend's corruption, clings to his visionary quest. He will try to transform himself; to heal Moustique, his jailer, and his jail-mates; and to be a leader for his people.
Identificamos no processo de ensino-aprendizagem dos alunos de uma escola privada a carência da prática da escrita em língua inglesa como processo acompanhado, visto que as atividades de escrita mais complexa (argumentação, artigo, dissertações, narrativas, para citar algumas) as quais envolvem maior uso de conhecimento de mundo, de gramática, de conectivos de coesão e de coerência são negligenciadas, em decorrência do pouco tempo de aula. Outra habilidade também desconsidera, porém importante, não só para o âmbito profissional, mas também para a vida social dos nossos aluno é a criatividade.
Emily Dickinson was a reclusive American poet. Unrecognized in her own time, Dickinson is known posthumously for her innovative use of form and syntax.
Scouse (/ˈskaʊs/; also, in academic sources, called Liverpool English[1] or Merseyside English)[2][3][4] is an accent and dialect of English found primarily in the Metropolitan county of Merseyside, and closely associated with the city of Liverpool.
The influence of Stephen Krashen on language education research and practice is undeniable. First introduced over 20 years ago, his theories are still debated today. In 1983, he published The Natural Approach with Tracy Terrell, which combined a comprehensive second language acquisition theory with a curriculum for language classrooms. The influence of Natural Approach can be seen especially in current EFL textbooks and teachers resource books such as The Lexical Approach (Lewis, 1993). Krashen’s theories on second language acquisition have also had a huge impact on education in the state of California, starting in 1981 with his contribution to Schooling and language minority students: A theoretical framework by the California State Department of Education (Krashen 1981). Today his influence can be seen most prominently in the debate about bilingual education and perhaps less explicitly in language education policy: The BCLAD/CLAD teacher assessment tests define the pedagogical factors affecting first and second language development in exactly the same terms used in Krashen’s Monitor Model (California Commission on Teacher Credentialing, 1998).
"Journey" is a short story about a trip told in the second person, "you." It can be interpreted in a metaphorical way. The narrative of the story talks about a journey that starts on a road that is "broad and handsome, constructed after many years of ingenious blasting and leveling and paving." The person traveling has a map at this point, and his or her destination is in sight. However, the person grows bored with the monotony of this trip and veers off onto smaller and more winding roads until he or she is traveling by foot. In the end, the person is lost but decides that he or she would not have altered the trip in any way.
H.P. Lovecraft was born on August 20, 1890, in Providence, Rhode Island. The horror magazine Weird Tales bought some of his stories in 1923. His story "The Call of Cthulhu" came out in 1928 in Weird Tales. Elements of this story would reappear in other related tales. In his final years, he took editing and ghostwriting work to try to make ends meet. He died on March 15, 1937, in Providence, Rhode Island.
Paralelismo é o nome que damos à organização de ideias e expressões de estrutura idêntica. Temos dois tipos de paralelismo: o sintático, relacionado aos termos de mesma estrutura sintática dentro de uma frase; o semântico, relacionado às ideias semelhantes dentro de uma frase.
INVESTIGAÇÃO E ANÁLISE SOBRE O TRABALHO INTERDISCIPLINAR NA EDUCAÇÃO BÁSICAmauriciocoelhomicrobio
Esta investigação será realizada para coletar e analisar as informações sobre o trabalho interdisciplinar realizado (ou não) pelos docentes dentro dos espaços destinados à Educação Básica. Para tal investigação e análise, é necessário que se tenha elementos para compreender não somente o espaço da Educação Básica, como também, o que é o trabalho interdisciplinar e como ele pode se desenvolver dentro desse espaço, pois, "trata-se, antes de mais nada, de entender o fenômeno muito mais como uma prática em andamento, que como um exercício orientado por epistemologias e metodologia perfeitamente definidas" (LEIS, p.3, 2015). As questões que nortearão tal ação de pesquisa, são as seguintes: 1) Quais as representações dos docentes da educação básica sobre a interdisciplinaridade? 2) Quais as principais dificuldades para sua utilização e/ou implementação?.

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.

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.
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.

RAY BRADBURY (1950)
The Hadley Family lives in a technological house
named “The Happylife Home” which does every task

room able to reproduce any place they imagine.
The parents, George and Lidi start to wonder if there is
something wrong with their way of life. They got
confused that the nursery stuck on a African setting:
the veldt, with lions in the distance, eating a dead
figure and they hear familiar screams.
Then, George and Lydia decided called a psychologist
who warms them to turn off the house and move for a
while to live by themselves.
The plot twit happens, when the children locked their
