The document contains a list of uncommon words with definitions related to developing reading skills and versatility. It includes words like vociferous, impudent, candidly, punctilious, elite, and morose that describe traits, behaviors, or concepts outside typical sight word vocabulary. The purpose is to enhance readers' vocabularies with challenging words beyond basic sight words.
The document discusses cognitive reading strategies that good readers use. It lists strategies like connecting to prior knowledge, predicting, questioning, visualizing, monitoring comprehension, summarizing, determining importance, analyzing the author's craft. Specific techniques are described for each strategy, such as thinking about how the reading relates to one's own experiences, drawing pictures to represent the text, restating in one's own words. The document emphasizes that good readers use multiple strategies to understand text.
Tomato pickers in Florida have been paid less than two cents per pound since the 1970s because major corporate buyers purchase large amounts of produce at the lowest prices, exerting downward pressure on wages. As a result, thousands of workers have been exploited, enslaved, or held in debt bondage for decades.
This document discusses different levels of reading comprehension including literal, interpretive, applied, and evaluative levels. At the literal level, readers directly understand explicitly stated ideas and details. The interpretive level involves inferring meaning between the lines and identifying the main idea. At the applied level, readers form opinions by analyzing and synthesizing information. The highest level, evaluative comprehension, requires making judgments about the text's validity by drawing conclusions and justifying opinions with evidence.
This document outlines the reading process and its application to a short story. The reading process involves previewing and planning before reading, actively reading with a purpose and making connections during reading, and remembering, reflecting and potentially rereading after reading. As an example, the document applies this process to analyzing the short story "Where's the Patis?" by Carmen Guerrero Nakpil. It describes how the reader would scan the title before reading, engage with the Filipino culture elements during reading, and understand the comparison of Filipino and foreign culture after reading.
Reading is an active process that involves a transaction between the reader's background knowledge and the text. It is constructive, as readers use their schema to make inferences and derive meaning. Reading comprehension depends on the reader's prior knowledge, ability to understand the language of the text, and ability to understand the message. Readers use both top-down and bottom-up processing, applying their expectations while taking in elements from the text. Multiple types of knowledge, such as syntactic, morphological, world, and topic knowledge, help readers make sense of a text.
Reading involves physiological, cognitive, and psycho-social processes. Physiologically, reading requires the eyes to focus on words while the brain interprets symbols. Cognitively, reading is a two-step process where the brain recognizes words and derives meaning. Higher comprehension involves skills like self-awareness and predicting. Psycho-socially, reading is a social and professional activity that connects people through communication.
Reading comprehension involves two basic cognitive steps: 1) word recognition of written symbols, and 2) fusion or interpretation of those symbols to construct meaning. There are four levels of comprehension - literal, interpretative, applied, and evaluative. Meta-cognition, or self-aware reading, is characterized by self-awareness, careful reading and retention, making assumptions or hypotheses before reading, and deliberately reflecting on, questioning, classifying, summarizing and predicting the text using techniques like SQ3R (survey, question, read, recite, review).
comprehension and levels of comprehensionmarimar27
Comprehension involves fully understanding written text. It has several levels from lowest to highest:
1. Literal level involves understanding facts and details directly stated.
2. Interpretive level involves drawing inferences and understanding implied meanings.
3. Applied level involves extending ideas to new situations.
Factors like motivation, background knowledge or schema, and metacognition affect a reader's ability to comprehend. Readers must understand words, ideas, sequences, causes and effects, and think critically about texts.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).
AI Trends in Creative Operations 2024 by Artwork Flow.pdfmarketingartwork
Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.
Organizational culture includes values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits that influence employee behaviors and how people interpret those behaviors. It is important because culture can help or hinder a company's success. Some key aspects of Netflix's culture that help it achieve results include hiring smartly so every position has stars, focusing on attitude over just aptitude, and having a strict policy against peacocks, whiners, and jerks.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.
