The literature circle will meet 3 times a week for 30 minutes to discuss The Twits by Roald Dahl. Students will be assigned reading for homework before each session. Each week will have an overarching task broken into 3 smaller tasks. Students will be placed in mixed-ability groups to summarize what they've read and complete the weekly tasks, which include creating drawings based on chapters and making life-sized character silhouettes. The book will be read through chapter 16, after which students will create their own endings to the story.

Time: 15Minutes
Time: 20 Minutes
Time: 25Minutes
Time: 30 Minutes
On the first lesson of self-selected reading, each pupil will try to study the tale “The Gingerbread Man”. They will study it for the primary 15 minutes. I will then permit them to respond to the events inside the tale and inspire them to chine in
I will then examine the tale once more loud to the whole class can even encourage the students to examine alongside me. I will then put up prepared sentence strips in a pocket chart. I might then examine the story through pointing to each word. I could tell them to pick out their preferred words and write them on a separate sheet
I will overview the story on the 0.33 time and ask the students to select their best preferred phrases from the tale. I will difficulty each with a marker(black) to jot down each word separate on paper I will tell them to attract interest on each word while writing’s will also take the scholars to a computer lab for them to do an online project of matching the begging letter sounds at the lowest of the laptop.
I will then allow the students to use the brand new discovered words to create a web story by means of operating on computers. They will then put up their work online
I will also make the students to also read Mustapha, M., & Maldonado-Colon, E. (2011). Whole-to-part phonics instruction: Building on what children know to help them know more.

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.
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.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

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.

1. Outline Literature Circle: The Twits by Roald Dahl
The Literature circle will take place 3 times a week, Tuesday to Thursday each session being 30 minutes.
The day/days before each session, reading homework would be given to the students in preparation for
the following day. Each week there will be an overarching task with three smaller tasks that lead up to
it. The students will be differentiated by being placed into mixed ability groups so as to encourage each
other to do better, in accordance with the ZPD (Bates, 2015) Before each session, each group
summarises what they learnt from the chapter they read the night before.
The book has 20 chapters, but the class will only read up until chapter 16, as the final task would be to
come up with their own endings to the story.
